When I got my CTR back in July, I decided to get a personalized license plate. This was my first time ever doing this. I never wanted to spend the extra money for them. Anyway when my tags come in, I go to the NC DMV to pay my taxes & put in for my personalized plate. I asked for " FK8TYPER " . Nothing stupid, nothing needing deciphering, just a straight forward description of the car that other Honda enthusiasts would understand.
Now for my rant. today I get a letter from the NC DMV telling me that my plate cannot be issued & I quote " because it may be considered in poor taste". What the hell??? I am so sick of this political correctness BS. So I call Raleigh. I explain to the lady ( very nicely) that the FK8 isn't in reference to the F-bomb but it is the Type R series designator. She is looking at my information & I point out that FK8 is in the VIN #. I then explain that Type R is the particular version of the Honda Civic. I explained that I'm 52, married, & have a soon to be 16 yr old son. That I was not trying to have the F-bomb on my plate. So now it is being taken to the manager for re-evaluation. What a crock of horse s%@t. Anyway that is the end of my rant.
