"MNEEME" is Retiring... (Plates that is)

Well if you read my other story here, you kinda know whats all going on!

HERE: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=127284

I recently got pulled over for having stolen plates. But the plates were mine! And on the right vehicle. Well I contacted the Police Department and they are unable to remove the "STOLEN" status on my plates... Needless to say I have to retire "MNEEME" and come up with something else.... I'm extremely pissed due to the fact these are the plates I've had forever! Now the game begins of find something similar to "MNEEME" Right now I'm thinking

Looking to get MINI ME out of it. (I can only have 6 letters/numbers)

M1N1M3
MN33M3

Any other suggestions please chime in! Maybe I should get "NT STLN"
Feel free to try here if you are bored:

https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/dmvnet/...asp?PLT=&PLTNO=

(And if you are in VA please be considerate and not steal these ideas for plates... )

FAREWELL MNEEME

Added benefit to "HANDS UP"... when you wave, people might wave back at you, even from non-MINIs.

Both taken but M1NYM3 is available. But then seems like I'm saying Mini M3 to me.

Added to my list

MNEEM3 (Kinda like M1NYM3)

Most people won't understand the 3 is supposed to be a backwards E... I would stay away from that.

But I do like the 1's as I's, So I say go with M1N1ME.

I agree mate.

Well M1N1ME is taken... I swear it's just my luck. I think I just might go towards "XSMA11" or "XXSMAL" or maybe "HANSUP"

Man this is a pain... I would really love to keep the Mini Me part but its becoming a hassle...

3M INIM

It's been a year since it was turned in to DMV and I promise no felonies were committed that can be traced to it.

I've always loved the irony in this plate:

LIVNLRG

And there's always it's partner:

DMV says it is... Bummer! I really liked it. Thanks bud.

But I'm going to DMV to order cause they are going to pay for my new plates. (I'm going to make them.) So I'll ask if its free.

Says 3M1N1M is available

Thanks all! I'll be adding it to my list to think about. Even though I really shouldn't be debating as much as I am. Cause I still have MNEEME currently which is still stolen....

I have "H3Z GONE" on my cooper and alot of people dont get that the 3 is supposed to be an E.....and if your wondering it's a reference to a Grateful Dead song called "he's gone" and also the fact that Jerry Garcia is no longer with us :(.....yea I'm a major Dead Head

You have probably already tried this but I dont see it. If you mix up the 1's and I's sometimes you can find a combination that works...

MIN1ME
M1NIME

As of last March these were available in VA. Many are for a red car but many not, and others might find something here useful so here we go.

Do try the obvious. Sometimes people let good ones expire, move etc. I just got THE MINI last March when many more obscure ones were taken.

That's funny. I just ordered my new plates: Der Mini. Of course, that would be 'The Mini' auf Deutsch.

We need a picture of Der MINI, THE MINI, and MINI THE lined up

How about Le MINI, etc.

You need a sticker for your window, Ich bin ein Motorer...

There is a Das Mini out there as well--I checked on DMV's website. However, Der Mini is actually correct.

I like the Ich bin ein Motorer sticker idea!
