Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
I'm surprised nobody has paid Pontiac homage in this thread. I'll stick with 7 characters since that's all we get in TN...

And for those with Pontiac motor swaps...
NDN SPD
NDN PWR

Oh, and LOLFORD to add to the token blue oval bashing

Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
Before my parents got divorced, the plates on their '87 IROC said "IROCDOU" A.K.A "IROC DO YOU?" i think it is pretty clever.

I always thought this was clever. Not sure how it got approved.
I've always wanted to put 87iroc as my plate. But I'm not sure how that whole system works.

I've got DRTYBRD (dirty bird) on my plates. She's a bit of a sleeper and I don't wash 'er as much as I should so it seemed to fit nicely.

Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
I'm thinking
FRMFLMS (from flames) for my bird. Before I started rebuilding it, it had a minor fire, so kinda a dual purpose as the Phoenix (firebird) is reborn strong and new from fire.
Or 2wykid (too wicked) in honor of Carl's obvious third gen merging on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. (Adult Swim Cartoon)

Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
I toyed with getting "ITSREAL" for the Formula to differentiate against the clones, but someone in Michigan already registered it. When I get a Mustang, (FUGM) I'll try to get "--FBIRD" (ie 09FBIRD).

Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
And if it slips past them, if one person complains about your plate being offensive (like the abortionists about "prolife"), they'll complain to the DMV and you could have your plate invalidated - YES - this scenario happened to someone).

Re: NAME YOUR BEST VANITY PLATES
Ideally, if you worked for the DMV, you could search for the regular plates before they get assigned, until you found a unique plate, so you don't have to pay extra fees for (like "000 AAA" or 3 letters that form simple words: "123 FUN"). At least my new plate ends with "F50".
Or get a plate that's hard to read : like a random mixture of "O" and "0" (oh and zero) or "M" and "N"
