Kids usually pick what 75% of your ideas are. 30THANN is too confusing for the Layman, and 30THLT1 falls there too. ZUHL8R I just don't get. CU L8R maybe, but still kinda childish. I just find it stupid when people lie about what they have. If you are stock fine, but you're not. My friend does that crap too, when he had his S-10 with the 406 in it. "It's just a 305"..... that lopes and melts tires. BTW you can only have 7 (Unless your state is an exception and allows 8). So, it'd have to be STK LT1 or SLO LT1 since a space is counted. But then, why put down your car? Sell it if you think it's slow.

I did like LS WHO. If your motor was built more, I'd say something like LT-110. Maybe LTX4LYF. It's a shame people are so quick to make a gay joke, or you could do #UR *** (Or AZZ if they won't allow ***). Otherwise that'd be awesome, since you'd leave them scratching their head the whole time they're eating your dust If no one picks up on it, give it time heh

I just think lying about what you have is lame If someone asks, you don't have to lie, just say "What's under the hood, is what's under the hood" But I guess if it makes you feel better when you lose, that they think they beat a "stock" car, alright. Yet, if they are stock and you walk the hell out of them, then you're just an ******* for lying heh I'll race people if they're stock or not. I don't care! So you smoke the hell out of me, gives me something to work twords

It's pretty dumb when basically stock cars have deceiving plates. Those kind of names ("slow") only work with really fast cars because then it's funny. How fast is you car? Mid 12's? I've seen some plates that look like "1ll11l1," which ever order you want. They like to street race .

Merv, thats hilarious

Mine is perfect..straight to the point.
If they still ask I'll tell them it's missing on a couple of Cylinders, and it has an Exhaust leak somewhere..it's not a Cam

It's a 4 Cylinder.... on one side.
I've said it like that before..

Shawn- if someone knows about them Cars, they will know that the 30th's came with that Paint Scheme, and they can tell it's a '97 by the Interior and the Tail Lights, so I would leave it up to them to figure it out and be kinda amazed by it.

that is a good point, and i tried zero's and o's but i couldnt find an availible combo. and yea im only mid 12's for now, but as soon as i rebuild and sell a th400 i have i should have enough for spray, in which case ide hope for 11's.

evryone else: good points also, ill probably stay away from the slow plates, i was just throwin em out there for suggestions. i think its gonan come down to 30THANN, or LS WHO
