Personalized license plates

Some time ago, a discussion on personalized plates didn’t quite get off the ground in the forums. Personally, I wanted a personalized plate immediately after I got my feature car. Although, I was a little hesitant to get something too specific to my car. As unlikely as it seems at this point in time I was afraid of getting something like “93 TWF” where later it just wouldn’t work on another car (another car?). For example, at my workplace around the time I was considering this there was a Subaru Outback with a plate “RONS Z”. Every time I saw it I couldn’t help but think that Ron’s previous car must have been a Nissan.

I struggled and struggled until one day I was meeting with my boss and she concluded our pep talk by saying “giddy up”. And, that was it! I found a variation of that available in my state and the rest is history. I also like that saying because my favorite show of all time is Seinfeld and the character Kramer on the show would occasionally use that saying.

What started this whole stream of thought was a 7-up car I just spotted on ebay. The plate is “MY 401K”.

Not that the car is not a good investment but that’s one of funniest and most original I have seen in a while.

UPDATE: A thread on personalized plates has started in the forums.
