Both of these are funny. I've thought about getting something similar but worry that it would add to the perception of Prius owners as a bunch of self-satisfied jerks.
Drive happy,
Moo :)
I like those license plates, too, but please remember, as all knowledgable skippers know, "The Tonnage Rule is always in effect." :)

The tonnage rule. Is that "Sailboats have the right of way but oil tankers have more momentum."?
I was thinking of choosing HUMTHIS but then decided a Hummer would actually use my aerodynamic car as a launch ramp. Oh wait, won't happent b/c I don't have the car yet!
When I do get my car, I'll post the plate I have chosen! 8)

You've got the idea, daniel, though there are times when a sailboat does not have right of way over a motor vessel. Basically, it's always safer to yield right of way to the larger vessel.......
JWSTERN: Hope I am wrong but seems to me that with that plate you are asking for owners of SUVs to key your new Prius Big Time!!! :roll:
Vanity plates/keying

I'm driving my MINI until my Prius comes in. My plate (same as my screen name) doesn't imply anything about my SUV/environmental stance, but I carry a stash of bumper stickers from http://www.cartalk.com that reads "live larger, drive smaller...not everyone needs an SUV". If a Hummer or some other monstrosity is parked near my MINI, I place one on the windshield using the wiper to hold it on. I don't use the adhesive side; or at least, haven't yet. My aim is not to piss off the owner of that vehicle, but to perhaps enlighten him/her, and hopefully, lighten up the ecological footprint we all leave behind.
We have a license plate holder bought from Cafe Press that says:

"Your SUV sucks" on top and..."My hybrid sips" on bottom.

As gas prices climb to a theoretical $3/gallon, we go to war [in part] for oil, and our president reduces tax benefits for cleaner vehicles, I'll be sticking it in the face of all those SUV owners any chance I get...key my Prius all you want, it doesn't cause that much drag!
yep, you can get those plate frames here, classic!:

Another approach

Instead of some SUV-baiting plate, I'd prefer what a friend has as a plate holder:

Got Aloha?
How 'bout:

Gulping........GONE!
Sipping on............
Drive a hybrid and
Join the fun!
I have a bumber sticker on my Corolla (still deciding on the hybrid) that says
"One less SUV"
I also have tickets to place on SUV windshield that look exactly like Boston parking tickets.
The can be purchased here http://www.earthonempty.com
The tickets better than tagging (stickers) since they are vandalism free.
:D
personal plate/stickers...

First time post and I'll try a pic too. Got my personal plate and made some bumper sitckers as well! Love my Prius!! Anyone know about a compass/mirror for the #7 package?
I just ordered mine today too. I went with:

GR8 MPG
No Plug, usually first question
Mine should be coming soon, too. "ZAPME".

Hope I don't get tazed!
