Custom plate ideas for the RS

I managed to pull a fast one in getting the Trooper registered to today. The title was NC, and NC requires a notary for selling a vehicle. SC does not. The girl behind counter noticed and asked me about it. I told her the story, and she ran the VIN, not reported stolen or anything, so she notarized it for me:)
39 bucks gets you two year registration, plates and title transfer!!! Sweet deal (military does not pay property or sales tax on vehicles)
Custom plates are only an extra 30 bucks, one time fee.
I came up with "ZU4cort" (my wife's name is Courtney, another dot for you that are tracking;) ). I also tried "RLYSHRT" (really short) that is kind of rough I know. I tried "MTNgoat". She said no to that as well. She told me to ask y'all what you think. No matter how good of an idea I come up with, she will say no, only because it came from me.
Come on, you guys come up with some really creative stuff, I am sure I can fish a good one out of you:)

The VX plate is 1of479, for obvious reasons.

I like caboose! She would probably go for that, and it does look like a caboose of course.
Very nice

Man I need to move away from VA, this place is getting as bad as MD and the rest of the northeast. Our registration is $74/year, but the DMV's good enough to discount the price by $1 (no sh1t) if you sign up for two. I think I pay $40 EACH YEAR for my custom plates (both custom lettering and VT custom plate). Throw in the communistic annual "car tax" (whereby you get taxed on your vehicle every year on top of the original sales tax you paid as well as the registration) and the city garaging fee ($20) and there goes $300-400 a year to the state depending on the value of your vehicle (car tax is a % based on year of manufacture).

Ah, too bad you didn't get a second VX, then you could have plated them as HIS and HERS. :)

I will not buy another VX, parts are way too hard to get, at least the trooper shares a lot of the parts as the others...

Oh come on, you know you enjoy hunting through junkyards for VX parts (well at least you did before you became a semi-professional parts liquidator lol). I'd love to have a second one for Sonya, but the baby and poor MPG (which is really important to her) make that a no-go. :(

The key to having a successful vanity plate is not having the need to decipher it by spelling out the meaning. If it isn't easy to figure out by the general public, then it's not worth having. Here you go (using max of 7 characters, including the authorized "hyphen"/"dash"):

RARE-RS
2RARE4U
TRPR-RS
UR2LATE
UR2DML8
AHEADAU
URNBACK
NU-DRMS or NU-DRMZ
YOUWISH
WHATEVR
NT4SALE
2DR-SUV
4WD-4ME
RARE4WD
GOTTAGO
GOT-2GO
ANDTHEN

I like 2rare4U. For what its worth, and I am not sure what this says about my wife's judgement, she is going with Justin's "RareSQR". ROXBOX is her second choice. Well, its her truck...
I got asked if it was a Rover today, it has like 6 Isuzu stickers on it, does it look like a ******* rover? :flame2:
No it does not, it looks like a sweet *** Isuzu...

Yes, 2RARE4U has always been one of my very most favorite's that I created many years ago in my head. Since vanity plates are all in "caps", it's always best to type them out in "caps" to see what they might look like on an actual license plate and to see if they remain still readable. Thus, your Wifey's choice of "RARESQR" is somewhat confusing to decipher because all of the letters just mush together in one big blob......heck, it could mean RARES.....QR if people are trying to read it. People won't know where the gap-point is to make any sense of it.

The gap-points in 2RARE4U are where the number's transition back to letter's and vice-versa, making it really easy to understand and read. "ROXBOX" should be seperated with either a blank space "ROX BOX" or use a hyphen/dash; thus, "ROX-BOX".

If your Wifey is so caught up in the mathimatical square box theme, then perhaps try "2ND PWR" (w/o hyphen), or "CUBED" or "CUBICLE".

Hmmm; after a bit of thought, I came up with a few that have a cute feminine flair perfect for a female driver:

FOX BOX
FXY BXY
FXY&BXY
BXY&FXY
& THEN (an alternative version of ANDTHEN)

EDIT: Curious, I just reviewed the official website of South Carolina DMV regarding personalized license plates and discovered that the only symbol authorized is the "&" symbol (no hyphen/dash is available in S.C.).

Does SC let you check plates on their website? In VA you can type personalized plate messages into a website that shows you what it would look like on the plate and checks to see if that word/phrase/number is already in use (or even if it's banned). If it's not, and this is the really cool part, you can reserve that word/phrase/number for up to 45 days to give you time to go in and get the plate ordered. Very very cool.
