Cool plates, dude

Well, I hadn't thought to post this but this past week I asked about one idea for my Cad's new plates... vanity plates to replace the old impounded ones. I found using the phrase
88devil might not be allowed, because, like Satan it would be upsetting to fanatic religious zealots I imagine, even though I am raised Christian.
Anyway, For my 89 Formy I want to go with just, plain simple to the point FORMULA on my plate...anyone here using that in Minnesota??? I'm serious here.
Also, because I LOVE the PS2 game Grand Theft Auto, I'd also love to use GTA RULZ if they would possibly allow that. the stats on vanity/personalized plates are 12 weeks to process and a fee of $107 currently. They say in the meantime I need to refurnish my impounded ones even though my Cad is parked and the Bird is being driven. tough call. I need the plates.
Anyway, For my Cad, decided 88CADDY would be the second choice and 1NICE88 as another. For my bird TPI 350 would be one. It's a bit of a challenge, just wondering if for my Deville I changed the I to a 1 so it read '88DEV1L' instead.
Anyone want to share some ideas they have tried or plates they are using now. I think unless you renew it after a time, it can be claimed by someone else. You also have the option to move to another vehicle, so in some cases...make it the same year and model hehe

Maybe 89FORMY then, although, wish you could play with the full word. It's crazy to think what you could do if you had 8 spaces to utilize. Shame Formula is used already...dammit
Anyway, keep the ideas coming, I'd planned to get plates like this off and on for a few years, but hadn't devoted the cash.

I see one on the way to work every so often - T/AS FLY. Of course the "/" part is a sticker making it slightly illiegal. Brave soul I guess.

I've never seen a self modified plate like that, I imagine it's blank under the sticker then
hehe

I want mine to be Stekman when my car is mobile again.

Think of mixing names with the car profile?

I have ideas for both of mine (Cad and Pontiac) and another choice for my Midwestern 'Bird is SNOBIRD. Likely that one has been used too though
