Default How do I get this approved? :)

I'm kicking around a few plate ideas for my SC'D Z. I really like URRSLOW which I have seen on another CF members car. However, I'm not sure if it is like this in other states where you have to provide the "meaning" of the plate, but we have to here in CO.

I still can't get past the plate AZZKIKR from the movie Con-Air. That has my car written all over it.

So, I know most of you have some great imaginations and could probably come up with some description for the meaning, besides the obvious.

This is how it would look.

Be imaginative and come up with a definition of a "ZZ".

You could explain that you're not trying to say "*** KICKER", simply A "ZZ" KICKER.

I've been trying! LOL

Is there a football team in AZ that I could claim I was a kicker for?

AZ Zephyrs, or something along the like?

Sounds like a "Polo" term to me, A 'ZZ' Kicker is the position name for the person who scores the goals in Polo. I have never played Polo, and I doubt the person you will be convincing has either...haha Use a sport like Polo or Cricket...no one knows how to play those

Tell them it stands for A Z KICKER (AZZKIKR) meaning you kick Nissan Z's.

Tell 'em it's religious. Most (bad) things in this world are overlooked if they're somehow linked to religion.

If they turn you down, scream persecution.

I know this sounds lame but say it's a sleep kicker with the "ZZ" refering to sleep. Total Velveeta I know.

We have the same thing in my state. Better to say as little as possible and it may sail right through. Here if someone objects to it when they see it they can still pull the plate.

If the polo thing is correct i would probably say "Arizona polo kicker" and see what happens. Who knows where you go or what you do in yout spare time.

The person doing the plates has probably seen a lot and will either think it's ok or not. Don't want to rile them with some stupid explanation of the obvious.

I'm not sure what it's like in Colorado, but in California while you have to explain the meaning, if the DMV (or the fine upstanding gentlemen on the State payroll that actually make the plates) find a different and unacceptable interpretation, they will reject them. I don't think AZZKIKR would make it here.
Pity, though.

Good luck with that. I submitted the plate FNQWIK and at first they approved it, but then about two weeks later, I guess when they went to make the tag, they told me I couldn't have it because that tag was already taken..... I seriously doubt it, but OK, whatever. I hope you have luck if you try for the AZZKIKR. I too wanted that, but figured they wouldn't go for it.

You could always tell them you are a proctologist.......

Seems all states are really cracking down on any plate they deem remotely offensive. Have you looked at the vanity plate listing here on the forum? Bound to be something on there you might like. Good luck.

Tell them you are into genetics and that "ZZ" represents people that suffer with Alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency and this is your tribute to whipping that genetic disorders azz.
