That said... S2K FTW!!

Ha ha, that would be cool to do a poster for S2000's of the US and have all personalized s2k plates in the pictures...

I use mine as my avatar so I'm not too worried about it. In higher crime areas, it's certainly a possible way to find and steal a car. I definitely wouldn't do it in California, Florida, or a few other places...

I would have to say that there are a lot of freaks in the world on these boards (myself included).

i remember some idiot "S2000Chris" on this board who wanted to meet me for a fight about 6 years ago..... had he been super weird (instead of just plain weird) he could get a buddy to run my plate and show up at my house.... i have kids, etc....

so I don't think I ever post my license....people can probably figure out enough about me but why make it easier....

People who want to meet for a fight over ANYTHING discussed on an internet forum have serious issues.

I still feel like I'm more likely to be targeted by someone who sees me out in the "real world". If I drive on I-4 for just a few minutes there's probably 10,000 people that see my license plate on any given day and I can't hide it from them, so screw it.

Very tue, but you also don't curse them out on a daily basis either. Internet forums have become a haven for smart asses who like to hide behind the screen. I can't go to ANY forum anymore without people cursing each other out, making racist comments, or just being plain ugly. It's getting rather redicilous.

I find it funny when folks really go out of their way to cover their plate...I've never bothered. It's almost like this Google shit that's going on now where people can put your address and see your house (Street Level View)...seriously, who gives a fawk?

I've always figured if someone really, really wanted to find me...they would. Shit, my address is posted here on s2ki.com for Tech Days we've held...and if you're a patient person...you can find me on the Dragon 4 times a year...LMAO!
