All you need is a sympathetic cop from California. Used to be it was easy to make up a little excuse and run a plate. Now it's a bit more complicated and they notify the guy.

TriGirl 268 #8 January 23, 2012 I remember visiting another, small DZ (which shall remain nameless), and noticing that just about EVERY car had a skydive vanity plate! It takes some creativity to figure out yet another way to arrange the letters/numbers for something no one else has yet. I will say I was impressed by the variety.

Krip 2 #9 January 23, 2012 Quote If you pronounce it "diva", it might just be a bitchy flight attendant. I'm guessing it's a DZ sweet young thing female that likes the odds on the DZ. Just like the skychickies that post on DZ.com with their female gender screen names FWIW we belonged to USPA 30+ yr's used to get the USPA /pca sticker every yea. Some folks posted them on their cars. Some of us didn't. When we passed one of those USPA stickered cars on the road we'd give them "the look" to see if it was anyone we knew. Never saw anyone we knewNever saw a reason to strut our stuff.Different strokes for different folks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sacex250 0 #11 January 23, 2012 The middle "Y" could be Spanish for "and" in which case you get initials for "SKY" and "DVA".It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #12 January 23, 2012 Quote Never saw a reason to strut our stuff.Different strokes for different folks. Same here, 20+ years in the SCUBA industry and never once had a dive sticker on my car, Near 10 years in skydiving and still don't have a skydive sticker either.

Yup, a big orange sign that says "break into my car and still all my expensive stuff. I know you'll cut the lines off my reserve and use it for a car cover, but at least you got a GoPro out of it all..."--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

It takes some creativity to figure out yet another way to arrange the letters/numbers for something no one else has yet. I will say I was impressed by the variety. Virginia has more vanity plates than any other state. It was almost unusual to see a normal one. One of the coolest plates I've seen was on a VERY expensive Mercedes sports car. The plate read, "PIK"D 6".Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

JerryBaumchen 1,046 #24 January 23, 2012 Hi Nic, QuoteIs there a limit to the quantity of letters and numbers on US license plates ? It varies by state. Here in Oregon we have 6 letter/number limit. I seem to remember that North Carolina or maybe South Carolina can go up to 9. JerryBaumchen PS) In Oregon the state DMV has control of the plates & can disallow certain combinations; a State Supreme Court decision of a few years ago.
