Named my MINI, vanity plates?

Hi,

My Mini is getting shipped to me still with the dealer plate on it (temporary), and im thinking about getting Vanity plates.

I also think ive found a name for my MINI.

Shoebox.

Thats what the plates will say.

What do you think?

Ive always been a pretty random guy, and shoebox seems to fit.

i got the name because i let my dad drive it to work, and he said "i dont wanna drive that lil shoebox around" (He has an 06 Mustang GT, i like to call it the stoplight stomper, so he didnt like it)

SHOEBOX is available at the DMV.

Around here, i've heard the MINI chooses it's gender and name; i guess you'll find out if it'll like your chosen name

I'll go out on a limb and predict your Dad may change his mind about driving the "shoebox" once he has gone for a test drive! I like the name choice.

Shoebox is a neutral name, could be for mens or womens shoes!

I think my Zuggy has turned out to be a guy Clubby.
