Full disclosure: I don't actually have the plates yet. They were ordered about a month ago. The picture is photoshopped.

I am so jealous.
What do I think? If you're single, you'll stay that way.
What? Clearly he likes to roll around on dubs. Ladies love them 20" Daytons, it's a known fact.
Have to ask, since when does Toyota make a car that actually has a nice looking and not boring front end?
What kind of aftermarket kit is that?
.This could possibly be misconstrued by the local PD though, so watch your ass. Anything beyond the factory gets attention, which, more often than not, is something you don't want when driving (speeding, other moving violations, open container, possession, dead hooker in trunk, you know :rolleyes
. Your plates are fine, no worries, but for your amusement...Vanity plates:

-Aggressive, badass "I'm a tough guy" kinda' plates, often lead to much higher insurance rates. It's like the g-rides I love to hate; oversized rims which don't let you corner well, gaudy, over-the-top cosmetic crap on the outside, but nothing really going on in the engine, awesome stereo system that plays less than awesome music...These just scream, "Pull me over, I be holdin' a 9 milli and da' fat rocks!" And they often do, but not for long.
These are along the same lines as Jerry Bear stickers on hippy-mobiles (Phish & Deadheads, listen up). Basically, that says to Johnny Law, "Somewhere in this car, there is a joint." The irony is, a lot of these creative & expressionistic types will slap on a F.O.P. (friends of police) sticker, you know, to balance things out. This only draws more ire and the feable Bluff attempt that was just made.
The lesson here is if you're edgy, paralegal, doing morally questionable things, whatever, don't f'ing advertise it like a fool. $50 plates often turn into 4-figure legal fees and a cell mate that likes you better as "Nancy".
Legally minded, but politically outspoken? Same thing w/ radical political stickers that are surely going to test the sensibilities of the guy you just cut off (who has better insurance), the bleeding heart liberal or reactionary neocon cop having a bad day, or young kids w/ too much time, bricks, and spray paint on their hands w/ a modicum of political bent (cuz' they're gettin' involved man!). The only place we should see your political ID is in the voting booth or over drinks @ the bar. No one is going to brake and suddenly reconsider their party affiliation after reading that you like Obama, Prop 'x', etc. If anything, it can, and often does get your ride keyed or get you the finger. ex) Progressive liberal sticker on your ride in the Deep South is just a'hankerin' for a quick re'edukatin'...now w/ improved, violent rhetoric and beer!
-There's a white Countach around UnivCincy we'll see once in a blue moon with, swear to God, "30 kilo" on his plates. Given the sticker price, no surprise. But man, the stones you gotta' have to pull that one off. If you go this way, make damn sure you're free and clear or have diplomatic immunity.
-Soccer moms, express your unique individuality w/ something along the lines of your kid's team kicking ass (next to your kid's super achieving honor roll sticker), your much vaunted pedigree as a "MILF" (and advertise it like a low class ho), or a little double reminder to the world about your fav TV show & how equally hip you are (despite your narcissistic handicap) of "FIERCE". You can drive (and talk on your cell) in style now!
-Enigmatic weirdos that wish to inspire unusual reactions, why not try a plate that ellicits uncertainty laced w/ fear, "DOD 32R" or "ATF 4"? Not quite a G-man plate, but John Q. Public might not know that! Watch tailgaters back the Hell off double quick. "I C U" coupled w/ extra dark tinting and, say, 2 radial antennae, is like having total insurance coverage.

I just got vanity plates and I almost went with NAT20 or CRITHIT
I was thinking that "NATRL 20" would be a good one.
What do I think? If you're single, you'll stay that way.
You would be absolutely correct.
Fortunately for me, I am not single. It was, in fact, my partner who suggested the idea that won. Others that I'd considered were...
JEFFER (taken)
DELUGE
THEOCDM (the obsesive compulsive DM)
NERD
4E FTW
HORDE (but I no longer play Warcraft)
Yellow? Is that the standard issue color in Iowa?
They are also Collegiate Plates for Iowa State University, the school colors are Cardinal & Gold (Red & Yellow).
...since when does Toyota make a car that actually has a nice looking and not boring front end? What kind of aftermarket kit is that?
It is the standard front end for the 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid.
Thanks!
