Definitely like it. Why is it that some people don't want to post their plates on a forum... it's out there for thousands to see every day?

I was pondering that exact thing the other day. Someone could just come to your work or home and snap a pic of it. Not like its priviledged information.

I agree but I think for most it is some big brother thing. I know I had been weiry about stuff in the past cause people talk and when they know what you have in your car, then find out where that car is parked at certain times, it could be a target. I know it sounds far fetched but now days anything is possible.

I have posted my plates so I am not soo concerned but when I post up for the masses I usually try and take it out.

Another thing to remember is that while we are all comfortable with each other, anybody can troll in and go through these threads.

Im not too worried about it either, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be mindful of it.

True.

In the real world, on the freeways, our plates are exposed. However, those spectators do not have our screen names. If someone really wanted to, I am sure they could build a crude dossier of some of us.

I'm not tremendously worried, though.

The only reason I would take my plate off or cover it up (or blur it if pic already taken) is if my car was under warranty and there were pictures of it doing an activity that would potentially void parts of the warranty, such as auto-x or track days. I no longer have that problem as the CPO expired in December.

Otherwise, if you have a picture of yourself doing 150mph on American roads and then next to it is a picture of your license plate, that couldn't go down well either if a law enforcement officer saw it. Same with YouTube.

I was torn about doing it, but when i got mine beside Lance's (pyreguy), he had his debadged and it just looked cleaner. I kept the lettering though, in case i need to go back.

Hmmm...

http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad185/bill_schuster/licplate.jpg

I tried "ZHPMAFIA" and "e46turin" but I'm limited to seven.


Looks good, Bill. The colors remind me of Visa.

You know... now that you said something... I finally realize why the plate seemed odd to me when it came out. Original PA plate colors were the yellow and blue (both were at one time either the background or foreground) but they went to white background for the high visibility.

http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/visa-logo-card.jpg

I think someone should point that out to Visa. Mostly because I'm bitter we don't have black plates anymore.
