CR8APL8

Here it is, the true uncensored story of CR8APL8 and its MAD owner - George T Ades - aka The MAD Greek! First about me ... Yes, I have always been MAD! And I've always been a shrewd businessman with an eye to what is hot and what the public wants - then delivered it to them! Over the years I have sold everything - from women's underwear to pieces of the Pope's red carpet when he was at Shea Stadium in 1963 - and numerous other successful business ventures. I've been creating innovative products for over 40 years  but these customized license plates are by far my finest and most popular creation! I've also been on many magazine covers over the years.

The story of how CR8APL8 came into existence begins in 1982, when I purchased a 1960 Cadillac with great potential - and then I spent $25K to restore that puppy!

I ripped out the entire dash board and had a mahogany and rosewood dash put in with roll up louvres. I added a TV, VCR and a very cool - at the time - video game by Atari called PacMan! I had the seats custom upholstered in red leather, added a tounelli cover (it's like a partial convertible - covering the back seat area only) and had Ya-Ya's painted in the back on both quarter panels. Then ripped out the back chrome under the trunk and put in fluorescent lighting with colored stained glass.

And, naturally, after creating such a 'TITS' car, I wanted to get personalized license plates that announced 'ITS TITS' - but, alas, the DMV has no sense of humor or appreciation for hard work and fine vehicles - and wouldn't allow me to get the plates. And there was no one else making car parts or car accessories that had anything like this, and, well, the MAD Greek wasn't having any of that, so I sat down and put my mind to it - and figured out a way to create my OWN personalized, customized vanity plates!! And CR8-APL8 was born!

As soon as my car enthusiast friends saw my custom license plates and heard my story, all those car buffs agreed that I had invented such an awesome product that I should go into business making these personalized license plates so that anyone that wanted 'tits' plates could have them if they wanted them!!

And the rest, of course, as they say ... is history!! All the way to the bank.

Now I'm a modest guy, and I don't like to brag (Ya Think?) but in the interests of full disclosure I feel it is my duty to inform you of one other use I've found for my customized car license plates - for the last 25 years, I have been the #1 supplier of replica license plates to the TV and movie industries. So whenever you see a vehicle in a movie or TV show, we most likely made the license plates! And now, we also provide them with all of their motorcycle, dirt bike, ATV, moped and golf cart license plates too!

Even though CR8-APL8 motorcycle license plates are new to the Internet, I have sold almost 2 million replica license plates for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs since 1982 - via this ad pictured here on the back page of many popular auto magazines - so you are getting a quality proven product, using a method that's been fine tuned and perfected - which guarantees you the highest quality in both our car plates and our new 100% genuine replica motorcycle license plates that are sold exclusively through CR8-APL8! But because I am MAD, I am selling these unbelievably cool personalized motorcycle license plates for only $36.95 each. Price WILL go up in a year, and I even include a bonus frame and the nuts and bolts to attach them to your bike. All this ... and up to NINE characters per line in either ONE or TWO lines of text on each plate - more than the DMV allows!  Wow I must be MAD!!

Many of our customers are even policemen who put our plates on their D.A.R.E. motorcycles and department race motorcycles! And why not or where else they going get one from?
