Mine's... you guessed it!

GREY

color of the car (not technically, I know), my ID & [ not so ] coincidentally my last name.

I almost got:

M A PEEL
M APPEAL
(I named my car 'Emma' after Emma Peel from the Avengers in the '60s)

I love the creativity that goes into personalized plates -- Ohio (home state) and Virginia (current location) are both HUGE on personalized plates...it's like a brain teaser game to figure them out. Keeps my driving time interesting!

I almost got that one! I also thought about "WAHOO" for the same thrill reasons....

One of the greats! That would have been a great plate! Emma Peel was the bomb! (As a side comment, did you know she was the SECOND of Steed's partners??? I had no idea until I got the whole set of DVDs...)

Hate to say it, but I'm old enough to remember watching the original shows with Kathy Gale.
BUT she was no Emma Peel!

Indeed I did! Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman <-- another cool name!) was the first.

Being a HUGE fan, my plates are TH3 WHO.

I had to replace the "E" with a "3" since THE WHO was already taken

My persoalized plate takes some explaining. The plate is 100 HRS. When asked my reply is it took me hundreds of hours to convince my wife I really
needed...wanted this car.

DBL HAUL on my Toyota Land Crusher, and 7X on my Mini. It's a fly fishing thing. :-)

Man, I fully understand and get it, I think after reading all 5 pages, this is absolutely the funniest. Tell me your not in Illinois? I'm moving there in Aug and want it....

I promise I will not run you over or push you out of the lane with my SUV if I see you (if I see you). Does this mean I need to get one of those bicycle saftey flags bright orange for my MINI? That would be pretty funny, then I could get "RMT CNTRL".

Oh, some previous ones I've used:
THX HUN - Corvette Stingray
HER 67 - Wifes convertible mustang
EMTAE - read it backwards, lasted 3 months before was behind po=po and forget about the plate, came off that night.
ONEMPTY - 96 Fleetwood Class A motorhome

N.D. was $25 a year for personal plates, everyone had them. Normally don't recommend them now, too easy to remember if you cut someone off or with 5-O.

I was hoping it didn't have something to do with a Community Service sentence...

I'm in Wisconsin, so it's yours if it's not taken! I own an SUV too, but I couldn't resist on the MINI plate...
