What do you think?

I've reserved a plate for my MINI that won't be here until this November. It has several meanings, but I'm wondering what you think...

KS MI S

I told the CA DMV that it meant Kristin's Mini S. But as I expect to leave all comers in the dust, it would have other meanings too... would even work as bilingual?

There are a few that I am considering, and one may be considered offensive, but yet I still really like it: SIZEMTRS (I am a girl by the way) What do you all think? Offensive, or no?

Otherwise I'm thinking:

MINCOOP (my bf refers to all MINIs as "mincoops" and says I have "mincoop disease" and has even developed a punch-buggy type game called "mincoop mincoop"...and he thinks I'm the crazy one!)
or
LIL GULP

Yet another difficult decision to make...hmmm.

I changed my plates (KS MY S) which were too difficult for most to "get". My new plates are:

Will motor in my nano sized car and go from 0 to smile in a nanosecond!
...and of course will have my iPod nano secured in its special dock at all times!

PS: I love MININVY! Ain't it the truth!?

Wow. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second. Hard to imagine... but we all know how quickly the MINI S responds...

That's what you get for living in Grafton! The next time you're cruising around Crocker Park in Westlake, keep an eye out for me. I'll be the guy in the chili red JCW with the plate "MY T MAUS".

Depends on the state, and if you're doing it on a specialty or standard plate. Check with your states DMV many are now upgrading webpages to allow you to preview your plate.

Of course no one from NAM would ask that, right?

I'm trying to decide what my plate should be. Maybe you all could help me choose.

I think her name is Luna, and I think the Pepper White looks kind of like the color of the moon when it's a little smoggy. Then to kill some more time online I looked up lunacy and thought the definition fit.
"A lunatic (colloquially: "loony") is commonly used term for a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable, a condition once called lunacy"

mentally ill - I am naming my car, putting a lot of thought into a vanity plate, and planning mods for it, plus spending many hours per night on NAM.
dangerous - some people think it is dangerous to drive a small car.
foolish & unpredictable - sometimes this is brought on my the supercharger whine.

So I was thinking LUNACY or LUNA C, I think I like the 2nd version better.

Any thoughts?

Luna Cooper. I like that. It would also give me an alternate response to "what does your license plate stand for?"

FWIW, I love Luna C. Very clever. It is always nice to get something that gets one guessing, but not totally stumped. Everyone likes to feel like they finally "figured it out" and have a private smile.
