**o2_designs** · 09-20-2008, 08:58 PM

I got my new plates... :shock:

**hEaT** · 09-20-2008, 09:01 PM

Your car and my car need to get together. Gold EAP's and yellow fogs. Don't see it too often.

Looks great bro!

**Phacade** · 09-20-2008, 09:07 PM

I like the subtle Nürburgring on the back of your car!

**BenP** · 09-20-2008, 09:28 PM

HA! I can't believe you got that plate!!! My friend just got turned down on "RTFM" and "OMGWTF" plates because they were "obscene" to the DMV

Dude, I love that wagon more and more every time I see it. The lamin-x slits over the HLs, the gold EAPs, the lip... ghhakk.. mm.. must..

That thing is a real beauty

**DereQ** · 09-20-2008, 09:41 PM

nice. just curious...do they make you write down a brief meaning of what your plate means for it to be approved? haha i could only imagine what bs you'd write down if you did.

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 09-20-2008, 10:25 PM

STFU isn't obscene, It stands for St. Francis University. Riiiiiiiight

I think it's the greatest plate I've ever seen.

**BenP** · 09-20-2008, 10:52 PM

Wait a minute!!!

What is that heart-looking decal on the edge of your hood? I never noticed it in your other threads.

**FocusSTGuy** · 09-21-2008, 01:20 AM

nice

... i love your wagon

i just noticed i hit 1,000 post

**glowin3232** · 09-21-2008, 01:26 AM

i cant be quoted for other states, but here in Missouri, no. when i had personal tags on my old ranger you just fill out your #1 choice, #2 ... etc. just in case they dont approve it or if someone else has it

either way, im shocked you got it. still funny as hell though. isnt your euro plate the same?

**o2_designs** · 09-21-2008, 08:54 AM

Thats a interesting story with getting those plates. I've order 2 other sets of plates, my Chromed plates for my other Focus, and the Catsup plates for my dad's Ketchup runner...and I've never had to list a reason for the plates. So I went in and ordered the plates, and she springs this, fill this out including the reason for plates and definition. I've never had to do that before...I had to make up something...I put down the 666 is because the car is all black...and the STFU, well, what could that be? So while the lady is starring at me while I fill this out, I think ST.Franscis University! HAHA. so I put it down...she looked at, and just kept going.

And yes, the euro plate is the same. I made that one to see if I'd like the tag numbers, and did...so I ordered them from the DMV.

**sanzx360** · 09-21-2008, 09:44 AM

Nice story, but you have to much money. Now give me some wheels dammit... haha jk

**SVTADAM** · 09-21-2008, 12:16 PM

That is a plate that could actually get you out of a ticket when you get pulled over. Nice!

**glowin3232** · 09-21-2008, 12:21 PM

hahaha well done then, well done.

**ponypower** · 09-21-2008, 12:56 PM

what does it say on your hood?

**o2_designs** · 09-21-2008, 02:07 PM

Wheel Whore...

Or something like that

**sonicblu3zx3** · 09-21-2008, 06:11 PM

I can tell the last word is .com .... or so I think ...

It looks nice that's for sure! I've wanted to do a personalized plate, but it costs more money, and I don't really have any good ideas lol. That and I've heard people with personalized plates get targeted for vandalism more, whether or not that's true, I have no clue.

**SVT3658** · 09-21-2008, 09:49 PM

the best plate EVER!!!!

**redmond669** · 09-21-2008, 10:26 PM

**jinstall** · 09-22-2008, 03:04 PM

**chavezx2** · 09-26-2008, 12:32 AM
