Does anyone else think this is funny?

I've always had personalized plates. They've also always had double entendre meanings behind them.

I simply can't find one for the mini.

After driving the H2 for the last few years, complete with supercharger, liftkit and gears, the gas mileage simply sucks. It was okay when gas was 2-3 per gallon but as it goes higher and higher, blah, blah, blah...

Anyway, the reason I mention that is because the gas mileage sucks, I'm thrilled that the gas gauge on the mini never seems to move. Getting 30-40 mpg is PHENOMONAL

So, I was thinking of getting this personalize plate.




Funny?

Or not?

Perhaps no other drivers will drive too closely to your rear, fearful.

Okay, I ordered my plate.... not sure if they'll let it slide but we'll see.

KSSMY-S

I would normally think they would pass it but but here's the one on my H2



And here's one that used to be on my mustang.



So surely if they let that go, I hope they'll let the new one go...

You could always just put the word "RIPPPP" indicating you have too much gas.....

Go for it. I think it's great.

Enjoy the looks you'll get in parking lots and at, um, gas stations.

Much better. Your first suggestion could become increasingly offensive as gas prices continue to rise.

With the latter it'll remain as offensive as it already is.

If they don't accept that choice I would think your " igotgas " would be a great option .
