:shock: Why would someone steel an antenna top?! LOL wow.

I only have Purdue plates on my cars (I know that will surprise many) :) Years back when I owned my Jetta, I had Mickey ears on the antenna and they were stolen! I felt so violated! I allow no stickers of any kind on my Mustang (just wouldn't be right) and on my everyday car, my Sante Fe, at Christmas time, I put the Mickey antenna topper that's like an ornament. It has a loop on the top, so I'm able to loop a rubber band through there and hang it on my rear view mirror! This way, no way can steal it! :D

[quote="Amy"]My car sports "DIZNEE" and I got my Mom "F1GMENT" It is only $15 extra per year in Michigan for personalized plates. Well worth it since it makes me smile every time I see them.

Where in MI I think I have seen your moms plate.

I personally think the Mustang could use a little bit of the mouse in it :D

It is terrible that people have started to steal the Mickey antenna topper. I feel bad for everybody who has lost their ears.

I had a mouse topper that I loved, but then I bought a Subaru. I didn't even notice that it had no antenna until I tried to transfer the mouse topper. I was actually sad....now I'll have to get a plate frame or something the next time I go.

Now that I look at it, I think I mistyped it...MCKEMSE might have been more like it...we went past it too quickly but it stood out like a sore thumb to me :)

Mamabaminjamin - we're in southwestern Michigan, land of snow and arctic chill :mrgreen: Since you are located in Colorado according to your profile stamp, were you passing thru Michigan lately?

MmeLeota - I love looking at people's plates and seeing what they have thought of - one of the best I can remember right now was L8R G8R on a vette. Anything related to Disney gets a honk and a wave if I can do it without disrupting traffic :mickey:

I must say I am surprised more of my fellow subsonic's don't have more disney-fied cars. I actually want to find a good license plate frame but haven't found any online. Looking forward to finding one at one of the parks sometime in the future. :figment:

That is on the east side of the state right? You might have seen us at some point I suppose. We've had the plates for about 2 years.

I don't recall ever seeing a customized plate that is a hidden Disney message. However, Disney license plate frames are pretty common. I usually will see at least one a week on the road IF I paid attention.

So we had to break down and buy a new *read new to us* car. Now my DH wants to put personalized plates on it but we're having a hard time deciding on what it should be...any suggestions?
