Default License plate ideas/help?

We got our 'generic' plates for the car today but we'd like to have a personalized plate before we hit the road this summer. Everything I put into the pick-a-plate system is already taken. Anybody have and ideas for something befitting a 1969 Can-Am white stingray convertible? We can have a combination of 7 numbers and letters or all letters, our state doesn't allow numbers to be first on the plate.

Do a search for Vanity Plate and you should come up with something. That thread resurfaces every couple of years with new additions from new members. It will give you an idea of something anyway and is listed by state. Actually, I added it for ya.

L4T6CAM?

sorry, I was never good at that. Delaware has all numbers as regular tags and anything on vanity. I was lucky enough to get the year of my car as the actual tag. Not real exciting.

Hey.......how about "TRBOJET".... ( referring to your tank sticker post)

I like that one. We are allowed 7 letters or a combination of letters and numbers (within their rules of course) but we can't mix them, the letters have to come first or you can only have all numbers but only from 1 to 999. I was about brain dead after typing in about 100 or so possible plates only to be told they weren't valid or they weren't available We have a friend who keeps asking us to buy the car so, just for giggles, I tried 'No Tim' and it was available!

Pollutn was available but all of the others were already taken, pearly was actually available as pearly8. I think my husband has a new list for me to check later but I better have some coffee first!

Since GR8 WHITE doesn't work, how about GRT WHT, or GRAT WHT?

Although this won't help you determine what is available in your state, it's still fun to see how it will look.

Thanks, we have a similar site here and that's what I've been using but every time I try one it says it's not available. The only ones that have been available are the ones I try but would only 'settle' for.
