See my profile pic for an idea - GAS 404 - it's a bit geeky but I'm in web development, so perfect for me. Those who get it, get a kick out of it. Feel free to use in your state (but not in PA).

Most people who see that plate will think you are promoting gas.

No one who has spoken to me about it thought that yet. Majority of people under 40 understand what 404 means.

I'm more than a couple of decades over that and I know what "404" means.

Hope this helps.Personalized and vanity are different. A vanity plate can be from a university,group or organization,cause,ect. A personalized plate let's you choose the numbers and/or letters you want on a plate. I believe Florida leads the nation in vanity plate options. You can also personalize a vanity plate but are limited to 5 characters.what are you considering a non-personalized vanity plate? I've aways thought of a personalized plate AS a vanity plate...
Mine will arrive w/i a few weeks. My 1st personalized plate in nearly 50 years as a licensed driver. THE FUTR which will go on my ICE vehicle for 2 years.

I was trying to play it safe in my argument with 40.
But I am certainly impressed when a gentleman in his 70s understands it.

Well, that explains it. I'm 68 and I doubt that many of my friends, family, and acquaintances know it. I know it mainly because I got a 404 - File Not Found error when trying to download a podcast recently. Of course, people on an internet chat board are more likely to be computer-savvy than the general population. But again, I know very little of the younger generations.

It is actually a pretty good conversation starter when someone is not familiar with 404. I had a guy pull up next to me at a red light and ask me about it. It was a very nice, brief conversation and once I explained the meaning, he was pretty amused.

Texas has some vanity (or as they called it, specialty) plate designs which allow 6 or even 7 characters
Mine however limited to five, and when I ordered it, I didn't have any good ideas for personalization Just wanted something different than standard plates - didn't like the design. Vanity, you know I got used to that random lettering that DMV assigned, so I have doubts now I'll replace it any time soon. And at the same time I'll continue looking for personalization ideas. No logic, I agree...

Yep, one more option to make that special vehicle extra special
Another idea (inspired by an item I picked at Drive Electric Week event last September):

Where (heart)='single heart shaped symbol'. Assuming your state allows special characters in license plates.

Meet "Voodoo", Our S75 & "Solo Cup", Our Model 3
We have YBUYOIL on our MS and NO4NOIL on our hybrid Camry which will be transferred to the M3 upon delivery.
Finally got my personalized license plates (California) after waiting 16 weeks! Had to get my congressman involved to find out where they were. After all, I can build a house in less than 90 days once permitted. Even the DMV states 8-12 weeks on their website.
I also had a discussion with the local AAA Club about this issue, and they told me the prison that makes these plates was on "lock down" quite a bit during the fall, preventing license plate manufacturing. The State cashed my check four months earlier. So in California, the delivery of personalized plates depends on how happy the convicts are........
