Just added this to my car, looking for opinions.

Click on pic to enlarge.

 

it looks like it says krevz fever. It doesn't look bad though.

 

Yeah, I was kinda worried about that myself. I took a word that hardly anyone will understand that use letters that people can't make out.

 

Yea, I see that too, but it does look well done. Looks like a quality job

 

I understand German so I can see it just fine... Nice idea. I wonder how it would look with OEM chrome letters.

 

If I were to do it again I would use simple tall narrow letters, kinda stark looking. Think WW II German style. As for chrome letters, might look cool. I did the white/red theme on a lark, but I like it. BTW, although I can spell it, I don't know how to say it exactly. And I don't know one single German person.

 

I would do it lowercase, with umlauts on the u's. kreüzfeüer

 

I wondered about that, wasn't sure if they were appropriate. When I have looked it up on line it doesn't show them. I can't say I know how or when they are used. I was pretty certain however that they weren't used on caps. I figured I was walking a fine enough line using an online translation of the word as it was. For all I knew it coulda meant I liked little boys. Coulda been beat up by angry German folk and not known why. You never know though, it might still happen. Dirty Germans!

 

Ich mag dieses zusätzlich auf der Rückseite. Gut gemacht!

Jedoch, durch zusätzliche Umlaute, das Wort nicht richtig gesprochen ... nicht gut

 

Der Text ist ein wenig dummes - was war Ihr Punkt?

Genießen Sie nur Ihr Auto und lässt der Übersetzungssorge Sie nicht.’

 

I could read and understand it, but then again I'm incredibly brilliant, as are all XF pilots. However, when you get out there among the great unwashed, driving their generic American or Japanese steel, you've got to expect some quizical looks and scratching of heads from 99% of those folks, considering the low I.Q.'s that are the natural result of an inferior public education system.
For those who have just blundered onto this forum and don't drive an XF, just watch Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. When his "Jay Walking" segment comes on, you'll recognize yourselves.

 

Oh crud...
Translator is smoking, hates my guts. No longer speaks to me. I hope your happy.
My personalised plate reads, LOKNLOD. Unfortunatly that looks german as well to most. Its supposed to mean, lock and load. People think is says lochenlod. Geez, I hope that isn't a bad word. Sorry baby jesus.

 

Haha all I said was that I liked the letters. And the second line I typed was recommending against umlauts because that will change the phonetics of the word.

You're in good shape Komrade, I think it looks cool.

 

Yeah, I know. The translator I use worked pretty well. Actually I would like to speak German. You can say, yes, I would love syrup on my pancakes in such as way as to suggest I might killl you and use your shin bone as a pencil box. Very authoritarian. IF YOU DON"T EAT YOUR MEAT, YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING! HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON"T EAT YOUR MEAT!?
Thanks for all you help BTW. I was a little concerned.

 

A guy with the screenname "rush" quoting Pink Floyd.


Gee.............you've never smoked pot.

 

I can't believe you would suggest I might do drugs. I am truly insulted... Uhmm, why? Do you know where I could score some?
And who is this Pink Floyd you speak of?

 

Pink Floyd is a cross dressing hair dresser from NYC. Hence the Pink in his name.

LOL

 

Holy crap!!! That was a guy!?!? I thought she had a pretty big adams apple. That and a big pair of... Oh, nevermind.

 

It's a fun language to know, but it's not one to use on the ladies, like French. Using German in bed yields poor results, for some reason. The guttural tone, rolled "r"s and the 'hock-a-loogie' accents on "ch" sounds don't bode well for putting them at ease, unless they're into patent leather and air-nailers. And in THAT case, I'm not at ease LMFAO

 

That is not so true... There are a few regional dialects which do not sound so hock-a-loogie. My fiancé is Arabic... now that language is hock-a-loogie, but I love it too... Arabic is very nice. But my grandparents came from München and had that Bavarian/Austrian accent which is a bit homorous to most other German speakers... in fact a lot of Germans do not really consider Bavaria to be part of Germany at all...

You have to be careful with French... ladies might think you are gay lol... no offense. I love French. I never got to learn much, I only took a couple years.
