Does that mean something specific? Am I pronouncing it like I think it should be?

Fizz-co?

It's really cool to have your forum name on your car...I'll be getting personalized plates for mine too.

I'm with you DB, it doesn't spell "psycho", I understand about state laws, but don't think that the mispelling conveys the perceived intent. Likewise, it doesn't help to ease the unfortunate stigma related to mental health in this country.

Anyway, I'm glad he got the plates he wanted.

Glad the state issued you what you wanted. Not sure too many 'true' psychos want to advertise so prominently on a sweet looking Corvette.

Enjoy and Have fun!

I knew what it referred to when I read it the first time. But then I wondered if it meant something else.
How about this ( you have to be real old to get it and willing to answer lots of questions)... BATES ... that's the name of the motel and the murderer.

Now just start a super high caffeinated power drink company called Physco and you'll be rollin' in the dough "The drink that makes you psycho!"

Some times I don't understand the state rules. I first tried "FNFAST1" for "Fathers New Fast One" but they frowned on it and ended up with "1FAST79". Go figure.

Take care, and keep that sense of humor....for my sake.

Mine won't fit, so I'll just use my common nickname of DB.

My neighbors motorcycle had "FNAHOLE" though he was also a cop, maybe pulled a few strings.

I would need the whoel bumper to fit 'foxymophandlpapa' on there.

See, I think the problem here is, that's not right either.

It's "PSYcho," not pyscho. I understand state rules, but your plates just simply say "Fizz-Co." I think you should fix it. So does your CF screen name, which could also use some work.

If you wanted to get the point across, you could write Cycko or Psycko or something like that, but that plate does not in any way say what you think it does.

PS, I had "PSYCHO 2" (after the movie sequel) on my custom '80 back in the 80's, but too many people thought it was short for "psychodelic" (which isn't a word) because of the custom paint. I took them off, but someone bought them because they liked them so much. Wonder how long IL would have let me keep them.
