Ideas for Custom Liscence Plates?

Hey guys,
I just got my '89 Formula WS6 about a month ago and its about time to get plates. I wanna get cusom ones, but I dont know what I should get them to say.
Any Ideas???

I was thinkin' somethin' like: BADWS6, 89 WS6, BLKBRD (the car is black)

Its a stupid post, but I figured this was the best place to ask for opinions, thanx

I would spend some money on making the car go faster than worrying about "vanity" plates...

"Yeah but like I heard that vanity plates add like 100 horsepower"

Well if you MUST have vanity plates I would suggest selecting something that is expressive of the performance of the almighty LO3. I humbly offer the follwing:

IAMSLO
POSER V8
WANNAB
SNAIL V8
CANTHNG (CAN'T HANG)

Sorry if you can't take a joke... all kidding aside get used to the ball busting until you build that turd up...

htat's pretty rough man....damn funny, but still pretty rough
i just ordered my plates NJ SPDER
i wonder if i am gonna get pulled over even more now
the other plate i was considering if i couldn't get mine and before i decided to do teh 400 build up was JSTA305 (just a 305).
personalized plates always seem liek they are the best when not everyone wil understand them, like a "street legal" drag car i saw once had 8SAT150 (8 @ 150mph) or INDA9S (in the 9's)
that way they are more for people who you watn to knwo about you or your car instead of just any schmuck on the road.
like the one i chose, who the hell is gonna know what an NJ SPEEDER is if they are into f-bodies
i wish we had a bs/office space board liek some of the otehr sites, this thread would do well there.

later

i won't have teh 400 ready til next season. it is gonna be built this summer and fall and i will install it after i redo a bunch oif stuff in the car. i want the car adn the engine to both be magazine feature quality basically. so i have a lot fo other concerns before the motor ever gets to rest in the car.
hey man, come east, i'll race anyone maybe if i go out to the NFRA thing in august we can race out there.

Well guys, I decided to go with regular, non-vanity plates. Now I can use the extra $9.00 (what the vanity plates would have costed) to build a 383stroker, NOT! Good thing I did't waste that $9.00, hugh!!!! The WS6 is my daily driver, I use my '99 Hawk at the track and at streetlights.
But thanx 4 yer opinionz anyway!

-'89 Formula WS6
-'99 Firehawk SLP

'99 Firehawk Yeah OK Bring that turd up to Union Grove or Byron I got an old third gen you can try... Hell when the NSCA/NMCA rolls into Columbus on Sept 27-29 bring that Hawk and we can run each other EFI eliminator.

Vanity plates is Illinois cost almost 100 bucks not to mention the renewal fee is higher, I guess they are a dime a dozen in Akron.
