I have been thinking of some. We are only allowed 6 charecters so I have:
BLANKU
URMUM
UPURS
SPCAGT (almost NO one will get this one)
HA! The last one is SPECIAL AGENT, yes??? I kinda doubt they'd go for "BLANKU" only because it's "offensive"...unless you have an "alternate" explanation for it...like, perhaps, you're deciding on which university to attend, but in a jesting school spirit have BLANK U to stand for BLANK University!
OK... I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought, or you're just really clever. But, do you get the reference? We can only submit three choices at once so I would nix URMUM on the first round and add a note of explanation. But, any of the 3 would be awesome and I doubt anyone has them here.

Well, I'd like to think I was really clever....I"ve posted my story about my own vanity plates at least twice in this thread! (I think I'm funny, even if nobody else does. )
Do I / we get the reference to which one? The Special Agent idea? Well...I'd have to say, no, not without a few more clues. BLANKU? Oh, ya, I totally get that!!
In the early 90's ABC showed one of the coolest, IMHO, series, Twin Peaks. The show centered around an FBI agent investigating the death of a girl in a Northwest town. His name was Special Agent.....wait for it...... COOPER. BAM!!!

Ok, I'll concede that clever bit. I wasn't a fan, and I think my brain was elsewhere during that time. You win.
My plates finally came!!! However they showed up the day I left for Import Alliance '09 in Nashville TN :( I was already in Indianapolis when I got the call they were at my house :(

For you fellow NAM Texans, the new plates being released will allow for 7 characters.
FAQs for the new 7-digit plate currently say....
Can I personalize the Lone Star Texas plate?
No. The general-issue plate is manufactured in mass quantities and uses pre-determined plate patterns.
And, regarding them being stamped/raised:
Will the new general-issue plate still have stamped letters and numbers?
No, and that’s a good thing. The stamped (or raised) license plate numbers required a lot more energy and environmentally harmful chemicals. The digital process eliminates using 484 gallons of paint thinners and 396 gallons of petroleum-based ink annually, and the energy needed to power huge ovens that dried the plate ink. Not only is the new general-issue plate more environmentally friendly, but the flat numbers and letters make it much easier to clean.

That seems to be the new answer whenever a company or government cuts back.
They are doing it for the enviroment and to save the earth.
So since they have saved so much on costs and paint then I think they should
pass the savings on to the consumer.
My license plate cleans off really well as long as I am paying for it, I should
have the final say as to how they are made.

I hope I can figure out how to add my photo! This was on our '05 S back in '05 but I thought it might still be relevant. Read the script on the back window and the little decal up top as we also had a BRG Classic Mini at the time.
