It's a submariner thing. AAIII is the abbreviation for All Ahead Flank, which is the maximum bell that you can ring up on a ship. The 'C' on the end is the submariner part, and stands for "cavitate!" Normally you don't want to cavitate, because it's noisy, but if you need to speed up right ******* now, you order a cavitate bell. So AAIIIC is basically, "max power, right now!" Of course, the V doesn't have quite the 30,000+ horsepower of an SSN, but I still think it's a pretty good fit.

When the time comes to sell you car, You should make the main pic in the thread/post/ad that picture with all of the crap all over it. lol

Glad to see you can just take a shot of the car, unlike some who need to make it on a full on photo shoot.

When I was stationed in Virginia my plates said PSYCHO V. Texas vanity plates are too expensive for my tastes lol. I did get sick of people asking me what "psycho five" meant though.

Vanity Plates – per year
$50.00

Taken from http://www.mva.maryland.gov/About-MV...leRegistration

So each 2 year renewal is 100 bucks. Stupid to me because it costs them NOTHING after the initial stmaping/printing.
