Pump yourself up with a custom plate
Imagine having a car with a number plate like G0 4IT or Y0U R0C. Would that make any difference to you as you approach your car to take that ride to your next sales call? My guess is that it’ll have a positive impact on your mood. People get personalised car number plates for all sorts of reasons: as investments, to express their creativity in some unique way, to express individuality, to stand out from the crowd or just for fun. Whatever rings their bell. So using your own car registration number as a subtle advert to your own psychology is as good a reason as any other. It’s like having a lucky mascot or magic amulet, only bolder and brasher. We all know that many people take car loans to purchase their vehicles. I imagine that for some of them, they get that little voice in the head each time they approach the car: “this is a great vehicle but three years more payments to go or 18 months more to go.” It taints your enjoyment of the car in some way, doesn’t it? What a drag! A personalised car reg number can be a great way to ameliorate those feelings. With a bit of ingenuity and creativity, you can acquire a personalised number plate that can make you smile each time you approach the car. You can give yourself some positive message or signal in some subtle way. You have pride of ownership and you can even make heads turn. You have that inner satisfaction that you’ve created something unique for you, however big or small it looks to others. Come to think of it: you can view that small number plate space for just 5 or 6 numerals and letters of the alphabet as your own blank canvass on which you can paint a pleasing mini-picture. Of course, there are many rules and regulations set by the DVLA regarding personalised plates: for instance, you can’t have more than 4 consecutive letters and numbers, and you can’t make your vehicle look younger than it actually is. But that’s part of what makes the game fun and draws out your creativity and ingenuity. You can find your own style, as unique as your own thumbprint. Whether your starting point for your personalised number play is expressing something about your profession, name, pet’s name, footie club or sweetheart, you can devise a number plate that is meaningful to you and at the same time constitutes a subtle form of advertising to yourself. So it pays to put in a little time and effort to create something lovely – something that can cause you to feel good. So go for it. You rock!
