You missed the Wander Indiana days. Likely the ugliest plate ever. But I don't mean to https://www.in.gov/bmv/2640.htm |

I'm still in California and I love it out here. But the roads in Idaho and up into western Montana are absolutely nuts and are rarely crowded. I used to spend a lot of time in those parts and I'm currently jonzing to take a proper car up that way for a few weeks.
Fantastic drives with beautiful scenery, enjoy it! |

Can anyone tell me what "Pyrat" is??? I've seen this on numerous plates from all over the country. All I associate Pyrat with is the Rum brand.

It's a BMW thing, very few people will get it, outside of this forum. When BMW was designing the 1M, their internal name for it was "Pyrat" which I assumed was a play on the word "Pirate."
The owner of "Pyrat 2" is implying that the M2 is a sequel to the 1M. Hence the name. But "Pyrat" is also a liquor brand. Same word, way different meanings. |

Down at BMW M the folks like liquors. I recall SCOTT26 posting a Kraken liquor picture (July 2017). But likely that was just tongue-in-cheek. Keep cool and enjoy some of the liquors favored by the folks at BMW M:

I've had the FUN 2 DRV plate since 1997. First in a '97 Jetta GLI, then an '01 BMW 330Ci, next an '04 E46 M3, and now in the '15 F82 M4.

If I had to choose...

If I had to choose one car it would definitely be the M4!!! The M2 is a LOT of fun, but the M4 is in a totally different level. I just wish that it would be a little smaller in size. Love the size of the M2. I really want to see how the M2 will behave with the S55 engine in it. |

I've been using JIMS on my cars since 1994. We've had Infiniti QX's for nearly a decade and the tag has been OURQX. My wife's cars have had WEESH on them for years as it's a nickname for Alicia.... Sorry none of those are are BMW or performance related but they are personalized.

That's nice! Only those in the know would know what it means, which makes it a kind of inside joke.
I work in the TV industry, and have spent a lot of time working on the colour science and engineering of HDR colour volume mapping for a pretty big CE company. I really wanted ST 2084, but apparently in California, you're not allowed to have two letters followed by two numbers! I ended up going with:

On a previous car, I used:
AYBABTU Only certain people who remember the late 90s and internet memes will get that one... I had "EPIC FAI" on a previous car as well. Best was when I got a picture of that car being towed, especially since it was for a failure that I told the dealer was coming about 3 days before it actually failed.
