With some vanity plate ideas. Indiana is FINALLY bringing back their personalized plate program as of April 1 this year.

I used to have "NDR PSI" (under pressure) on my car in IL before I sold it. Not going for that again unless it's "UNDR PSI."

Some initial thoughts I have:

PSI CKR (Pressure Cooker)
DONTTRY (two T's for Twin Turbo)
TT99C5
FAST VET
SLOW VET
SLOW C5
BSTD BLU (boosted blue but could easily be seen as busted blue)


Just looking for some 7 letter ideas. Car is Nassau Blue, Twin Turbo, around 850 RWHP.

Sorry, couldn't resist the set up. I guarantee if someone hit my car you'd hear me yelling, wherever you are, lol.

Of those, TT99C5 sounds the best to me.

REDSHFT has to be the best plate I've ever seen.

Why not 850RWHP? Ought to do it.

Scared me too when I saw post!!! You little stinker you!! Lol.

I like the 850RWHP that Rue came up with first. Second choice would be DONTTRY, or my change up of JSTRYIT or JUSTTRY. I think those give them more reason TO try! Lol

Good luck! Let us know your decision!l

My thoughts were "not another one" when I read your post. Will have to think about the plate idea after I recover from the shock. Still looking for you when I'm in town.

I don't get it out too much. When I do have it out....I'm usually making high speed passes on 30 just west of town giving friends rides. May try to make the FWCM Meet tomorrow if I'm up to it....I'm on nights right now. Patiently waiting for the halls crowd to start coming out.

Why not use PURE STOCK and enjoy the expression on their face as you pass them.
