Okay, I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm going to get a vanity plate. For whatever reason I'm NEVER able to remember my plate number, so I'm using this as an excuse to get a vanity plate. Come on inside for the details!

The details are as follows: Car: 2004 Honda Civic EX, Fiji Blue [seen here] Me: 34, female, semi-androgynous dyke [seen here] Limitations: 7 characters, spaces count as characters. Dashes (-) and apostrophes (') are allowed as are zia symbols (I'm in New Mexico, give me a break!). As much as I'd like to try to sneak something deviant by the DMV I don't want to risk the wrath of some small-minded asshat on my new car. I've been thinking of something with 'BLU': BLUMENE, BLU HVN, BLU DVL, etc. But I'm open to many other options. Monkeys, your mission, should you decide to accept it: Help me vanitize!

  • How did you get it up onto that roof?
  • I think the answer is obvious. MONKEY. Or perhaps, MoFiCar.
  • HUGESUV
  • BLUVLVT That would be so fucking suave.
  • BBF - didn't I tell you all? I bought one of those LoftCubes and they hoist my car to the roof for FREE! On preview: homunculus - you're good!
  • Nice helipad ;)
  • MANH8R
  • TRU BLU.
  • I'm not against vanity plates, but you mention that you can never remember your licence plate number. How often do you need to know it? I can't remember the last time I needed it (and that I couldn't just go outside and look). Not trolling, just curious.
  • I always have such a crush on femme-ish dykes. This is my cross. MNKY4LIF
  • what homunc said!
  • LEZDUIT
  • jccalhoun: For a variety of reasons actually. Whenever I travel, which admittedly isn't frequent of late, I have to list it on the registration form for many hotels/motels. Where ever there is a parking permit requirement (school, work, significant other's work, etc.). Then there is the horror of being in a large facility and having "Will the owner of a blue Honda Civic with the license plate number xxxyyy please remove your car, it's about to be towed" come over the loud speaker. But, as I mentioned, it's mostly an excuse.
  • forks: What are ya trying to say??
  • BLUZCLU Because yes, I'm 12.
  • How about the plate number XXXYYY?
  • And why's it a number if it's clearly a sequence of letters?
  • I've always wanted VNTYPL8. It's like that bumper sticker that says "Bumper Sticker".
  • BBF - I'm still working out why I drive on a parkway and park on a driveway, so don't get me started about the plate number issue!
  • Hlewagast is brilliant.
  • Way = path to somewhere, so parkway = path to where you park driveway = path to where you drive My favorite "vanity" plate is this one.
  • "Monkey for life," of course.
  • How about EZ2 RMBR ?
  • BLU4IA
  • The best I've seen is 3M TA3 Works best when seen in the rear-view mirror, though.
  • KABLUEE ? BLUTHRU ? Crap, there's no way I can compete with The Homunc! He's smoooooooth.
  • You may have seen this before, but you can make your own vanity plate here before a convict in your state stamps it out for you.
  • IgnorantSlut, are you familiar with thesmokinggun's installments of banned license plates? Pure hilarity. General tomfoolery found here, in addition to New York and Florida.
  • He's smoooooooth. And so fucking suave!
  • naxosaxur: indeed - I was checking those out earlier today. Hilarity squared.
  • I bet they're just saving all the best ones for themselves, the asses.
  • One mildly lewd plate that has already gotten by the DMV censors in at least one state is "LEZ MIZ". Other than that, if we're going to possibly top homunculus's suggestion, we're going to need to know more about what kind of lewdness you'd like to smuggle into these 7 characters...
  • oh dear. now i can't whether to vote for hlewagast or homunc. hmmm. both are brilliant! i think i'll have to go with VNTYPL8. that's pretty damn inspired. not to mention ironic and fun.
  • Or go for something really random, like PROST8T or CTRLESC or DOUGLAS.
  • DOUGLAS is great - that could be the name of your car.
  • Good stuff all around. This is when/where more options makes everything just that much more difficult. jacobw - I'm shying away from the lewd, just to avoid frustration and possible vandalism to the car.
  • "VROOOM" would be pretty cool.
  • I
  • Hmmm. That didn't come out right. Try one more time: I♥MOFI
  • Or what about BUSHH8R? I think I'll knock this off now.
  • AAAAUGH would be excellent.
  • Um... about VROOOM... A few years ago there was a pic in the local paper (or on the net? can't remember) of some guy's car with a 'LV2XLR8' plate. Or rather, what was left of the car. He had XLR8'ed into some other car, and killed himself. I think the lesson here is, don't tempt irony.
  • One mildly lewd plate that has already gotten by the DMV censors in at least one state is "LEZ MIZ". Eh, I'm dubious on that one. The owner could just have been a fan of overwrought musical theater.
  • BLEWBYU (possibly tempting fate), BLUE4ME,2BLU4U, BLUEDAZ, SKYBLUE,AZURE,INDIGO... really trying hard to come up with something combining SAPPHO and FIRE... I saw my favorite plate of all time a few years ago when I lived in LA ...PRAY4LA
  • NM LEZI BONDAGE
  • i saw a rather flashy and well made-up blonde one day, driving a new red corvette, with a plate that said TRICK. / wondering how she makes her living.
