LIcense plate decision

OK fellow Week 23ers, I'll post this here to be more "stealthy" in the hopes that someone ELSE in Illinois doesn't steal my idea before I get my choice (I KNOW that one of my fellow Week 23ers wouldn't steal my ideas!)

What do you think of the following plates? (limit of 7 characters in IL, all of these are currently available)

I originally had a list of about 30 ideas, many found on this forum, many created by friends, family or me.

The top 3....

EENYMNI
GERMINI
LTS MTR 3 (not available without a #).

One of these is my favorite...let's see if you all choose it!

But which do you like?

Can't mix letters/numbers in IL. Someone already must have LETS MTR, LTS MTR and LTS MTR 2 so that's why I had to have a 3 on the end.

I am finally home from motoring around this evening! SOOOOO Happy to have Baxter at last! I don't know what number this makes me, except for number 1 in forgetting to bring my cell phone or camera to at least show you guys a pretty picture... Sorry, maybe tomorrow... Also, my fiancee asked me what I would possibly do now after the car came home... no more NAM? i don't think so!

So I went tonight and bought my MINI!!! I wasn't supposed to get her until Thursday but went and did all the paperwork tonight and will pick her up on Thursday night after the windows are tinted and the sport stripes installed.

Here are a few pics of her in the service bay (Service was closed so I couldn't take her down for a quick drive... bummer!)

Someone suggested the dealership getting my Mini sent to one closer to the port- I asked if they could have it sent to the one in MI and still be processed through them (OH) and they said no, it has to be out of Ohio. I will be calling my MA first thing when he gets in tomorrow. Now we've got a holiday weekend approaching and I still don't know when I get my MINI!

DanceForMINI, I'm really sorry for your trouble. It must be really frustrating to hear about everyone else getting their MINIs. Don't feel abandoned. Better yet, send your MA a link to the W23 forum and tell the dealership to look at how many NAM members are watching to see them "do the right thing".

of the three listed my favorite is GERMINI. I would never steal another railsplitter's vanity plate idea. I would be answering to Honest Abe if I did. :)

Congratultions to all the new "wingmen" ... and "wingwomen" to be PC. What's a good word to express both sheer joy for someone else and extreme jealousy as well?
