SQ5 plate ideas?

[Lord_Shenk]

Hey guys! Just picked up a 2014 SQ5 and am considering a vanity plate. Anyone here have any good ideas? Or have vanity plates on yours? Post them up! I’m in Maryland so limited to 7 characters.

Not into vanity plates, but curious to see what creative suggestions emerge. Self-deprecating humor is always a nice touch in such things.

Hopefully there will be no pretentious suggestions that would denigrate those of us with "mere" Q5s, regardless of how quick we may be. I tend to go the high horsepower sleeper route, personally.

I've never had a vanity plate, but ever since a bought my first Outback (and this could apply to the Q as well) I've wanted to do some play on the Family Truckster from Vacation. Thought about FTRUXTA, FTRKSTR, etc., but never felt it worked quite well enough to bother with the process.

I first read that as "squeeze me" ha

I prefer the sleeper route as well. First thing I did was debadge the car haha. Hoping for some fun suggestions having to do with being perceived as a “dad car” or a sleeper. Anything that uses SQ is pretty cool too but obviously limited options

Mine is not as cool (I didn't get the creative gene). It just says "whine". A lot of people ask me why I wrote whine on my license plate. I say "because supercharger noises". Car people get it while non car people look at me confused and think there is something terribly wrong with my car as I whip it around.

One of the only good things about living in Illinois! -- Black license plates available for the White Sox... Is that a route you have available in Maryland? Maybe not a vanity plate, but a really low key plate that cleans things up?

Unfortunately not, we have blue bay plates and orange farm plates then the standard Maryland flag plate.

FWIW... The vanity plates I find cool are the ones that speak about the person, not the car. Spend that $$ on something you'll move along with you. In my case, not a plate, but my license plate frame - "Women and rhythm section first" - has been with me since my first car in 1989. (It's a Jaco Pastorius quote.)

Since you didn't ask...heh.... Vanity plates I despise are ones that are blatant in their obvious link to the vehicle. For example, I once detailed a '67 Corvette with a 327 engine. Along with badging which told the world it was a Corvette with a 327 engine, it wore the license plate 327Vett, with a license plate frame that read, "1967 327 Corvette." I did manage to save my smart-assed feedback until after I got paid.

I debadge all of my cars so luckily don’t have any of that repetitive obvious stuff. My old plate frame just had the S4 logo and because I was debadged looked good and made thenrear end symmetrical I just last night gave that plate frame to a buddy who has an S4 badge and instantly made fun of him for having a badge and plate frame that said S4 so I can definitely agree with you on that aspect. As for the plates, in Maryland you can transfer them over to any car so I can definitely keep it with me should I choose something not vehicle specific. It’s also only $50 unlike some states who charge an insane amount.

Unfortunately I sold my B8 SQ5 and pickup a B9 SQ5. And without aftermarket exhaust it does not sound like "WAAAA" LOL Just waiting for my DMV appointment to transfer plates to it.

Yeah... I'm on the same boat if I decide get a new SUV. No new SUV out there, besides Jag and Land Rover, has a supercharger.

In Mississippi we have only the single rear plate, so people can get creative in front without having to pony up for a true vanity plate.

If the 327 Corvette guy ever got an SQ5, I'd want to sneak a fake vanity plate on front when detailing the car:

ASSQ5

It would be fun to see how many days he'd drive around before noticing.

Returning to the subject, saw this one on another board, similar to one suggestion above:

[Treeskier]

i have a bit of a thing for vanity plates and have had numerous over the years as I moved from state to state. I've always tried to keep them fun or personal in some way:

On my old WRX
- TREESKI
- SKISVT
- BELIAL

At one point, our 2 cars had:

- HMMMMM (WRX)
- MMHMMM (S2k)

...when parked together somewhere if my wife and I both drove, these got a lot of fun looks


- LOOPHLE (after getting a few too many tickets and quickly moving my registration to a new state that didn't recognize those tickets)


Now, we have:

- SIRACHA (wife's SQ5)
- UGH-TRFC (my RS5)
- ZIG-ZAG (S2k)

plates are really only limited to your creativity and the letters allowed by the state!

[Whinny SQ5]

So something funny happened the other week... This guy from the car club asked me what the "AD" on my plate meant. I said "Army something". He said "I thought it was Whine And Dine". I thought that was really clever! IMAG2346.jpg
