Question Vanity Plates

So, what clever and meaningful vanity plates are being sported by Lexus owners?

On the GS400 we have "2SAVVY" (w/Toronto Raptors Logo) and I just ordered "WINEGOD" for the SC430

Default Could you have guessed?

With NY KNICKS logos on the license plates...

On Indigo Blue SC430: FSTBRK
On RX300: SLMDNK

People (especially in the SC430) try to catch up to me (good luck!)to see who's driving.... Then they are dissapointed to see its only me - and not Latrel Sprewell! Oh well..

LOL KnicksFan.. I remember one time driving home with the GS after watching a Raptors day game a car roll up beside me on the highway and a family just start to stare at me hoping I am a Raptor player.. Made me laugh so at their disappointment of not being what they hoped I was.. LOL

Thumbs up PERSONALIZED PLATES IN INDIANA

With This Picture In Mind:

Your mind's eye flows over the Sexy, Silky curves of this Black Onyx Jewell with the contrasting Buttery Soft Saddle Leather. The Exterior has been further enhaced with all of the ZAINO Products from Z-1 through Z-6, and the Ultra Enhanced Shine and Sheen are so deep that the Car looks like it's actually covered with a shimmering layer of Water!

On the front end, framing the Single Large Gold "L" is a Skin Tight Bra that has enoungh Wax on, you'd swear it was Connally Leather. Moving around the sides, your eyes are drawn to the Light Grey / Silver Wheels, that have been further enhanced with Ten Gold Plated Hex Nuts attaching the Center Wheel Disc to the Wheel, and a single Gold "L" at the center of all of that.

Moving down along the Side, you may have missed it at first, with all of the Polish and Wax Enhancements applied to the Black Onyx Paint, but all Three Windows sport a (35%) Smokey Black Tint!

But It's not until you turn the corner and get to the Rear of this Beauty that it hit's you.........All of the Chrome Badges have been removed! The Center "L" on the Deck Lid has been Gold Plated, and the License Plate has been Highlighted by an Upgraded Black-Matte Finished Frame, with little round black covers on top of all of the Screws.

You find yourself forced to take a further step back now, to try and take it all in, and you're keenly aware of the sudden and pronounced "Rush" that you feel inside, with your heart wildly pounding in your chest, because of all of this new found excitement!

That's when you see it, and the Plate's Letters say it all:


"PRFCTN"

Such a subtile understatement for "The New World Class Car!"

"LEXUS" means "Built To LEAD"............"Designed To LAST!"

Well, I didn't go for the vanity plates (see 1st word).
But I did have some cheesy ideas:

In the theme of excellence:
LEXLNT
LEXLNC

From Texas, of course:
TEXLEX
TXSLXS

Like I said, cheesy. No one I talked to seemed to like them.
Then again, this is Dallas, a finicky town.

Speaking of which, I have gotten nary a head-turn in Dallas.
But during my trip last weekend to Waco, I left many sore necks and wide eyes. So I got my ego boost for the SC's 2nd week of life.

I've finally posted some pictures from that weekend. Some nice scenery for the new beauty:

Oriole ...

I don't know much French and I certainly don't know any colloquial French, but I thought 'si' in French translated to 'if' in English.

1NICESC430,

I too am not versed in French by any means. I got the idea off of the Lexus web site. There is a flash program that describes the car and has a number of terms. One of them says SI BEAU and translates it to SO BEAUTIFUL. So, I am taking the Lexus advertising department at their word. Thanks and great driving.

Default vanity plates

I'm a bachelor, and a new SC430 owner. I like the idea of plates that say "NO WIFE". But it might get the opposite of the intended effect...

I remember seeing a Saab pass me going about 30 mph over the limit with a plate that read FASTLANE. Oh man, this guy was really looking for trouble.

I found that having a red sports car that only *looked* like it was fast, was enough to make the police salivate. I started driving in 1954 and never got a ticket until I bought a red sports car in 1964. During the 4 1/2 years I had that car, I got 4 tickets, and none for more than 10 mph over the limit.

I haven't owned (and wouldn't own) a red car since I sold that one in 1969 and since then, I have had one speeding ticket.

***On my Porsche 944 then the Benz 190E: "IM A HO" just young and a lil' playa' at that time Plus it got a lot of props from the fellows and the lil girls thought it was cool too. Girls love bad boys! But they was surprised when I cheated on them .. Go figure!!!

***On my 300ZX: "HI LUV" ladies would speak and blow their horns all the time...

***Conquest TSI then transfered to the 300 ZX TT:

"HI SEXY" (same response as "HI LUV" and "THE IKON" (a lil arrogant)

On my Karmann Ghia I have: "SINISTR" <"sinister" since it is a BAD *** ride>

I also had "PRTYBOY" (pretty boy... vain, vain, vain..)
