Default Vanity plate letdown

For months I've checked this site and others for vanity plate ideas and have come up with nothing. Many are b-o-r-i-n-g (anything with an '8' in it), exceedingly obvious (variations of 'my c5') or invites to morons (variations of 'faster than you'). Anything profound that I did come up with has already been taken.

I'm burned out.

So, I have no choice but to come up with my own plate to register my frustration. Here it is in Paintshop mode -

I gotta tread carefully here as this is our car so a plate with my name or initials on it would never get past She Who Must Be Obeyed (Mrs Z).

i agree - it took almost 4 years for me to come up with mine and then my 14 year old daughter came up with it
EATRUBR

but you can use several variations of the same plate
EATRBER
ETRUBBR
ETRUBER
etc etc

not so much on the forum but i often pull up behind someones car and say to myself "what does that plate say" or they are so stupid ie i say a BMW X5 with the plate "X5" duh or the other was "WONG1" driven by an oriental lady

Sometimes it takes a long time to come up with the right plate. Hang in there, it will eventually happen.

Get creative. Mine is BOTYNV1 the Ford dealer I bought my first one from just chuckled when I handed them the paperwork. You have time , but NO MSG, I get it , how many will?? Most people do not get my plates either . I have heard booty envy, you think you have a nice butt ?? I just prefer the ones that make you think for a minute. For example one of my friends has 1 IDWORM, how that made it through SOS I'll never know.
