I think it's pretty funny, but the stupidity of the herd in general never ceases to amaze me, so I'd say be prepared for a lot of "What does that mean?"

A lot of `em won`t get it.I used to have FSHBYT for a vanity plate and always had people reading it as "fish bait" so I changed it to BAITME and now they read it as "bite me"-I gave up correcting them.  :screwy:

It would be unique for sure. But to say that, I'd use a computter soft ware and make one yourself. To me it just seems odd to spend that kind of money on a whimisical showboard. I can't remember but when I had one made 8 years ago it seems to have been like $150.00 or more.   :dunno:

I did mine in PS and had it put on a foam board at Kinko's for $35.00.  Then went ot Hobby Lobby and got a frame and glass. I think it came out pretty good for a home grown show board.

Nice work Ken! I tend to agree that a lot of folks wouldn't get it. I'd stick with Mopar related info even if you do choose to be witty!!  :ylsuper:
