I find these things more for the fellow enthusiast that will get it immediately.

With that said, I'll think of some others because, as Esteban mentioned, it is likely already taken.

Would be nice if he could get it, though. And the only letters it's missing are the vowels so most car guys should get it.

Good choice, Minacious.

How about: BLEWBYU

I have no comment on this topic, since the personalized license plate on my race car was actually the subject of an article in "Sportscar" magazine many moons ago. No way could I ever come up with something better.....

I came up with a couple different ones.
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but here they are.
GOT2RUN......G2G CYA.

I really wanted 4CURVES and now it's going to be hard for me to find one that I'll be happy with. We'll see. I am not in a rush.

It's a very clever plate, and I like it, but non car people will probably not know/understand what it means.

You mean like the cop that was behind me in the car wash years ago and told me he knew it was a vanity plate but couldn't figure it out. I told him I'd tell him if he promised he wouldn't hold it against me. We laughed, and laughed....

4curve5
4 curvs

Mine is PHLAT6IX, sometimes you need to get creative with the numbers.

Lol, that's funny.

I think you posted in a thread that your username was your personalized license plate. That's how I figured out what it meant

Not quite, I have a little twist to it.

Awesome

That's why I asked for different ideas for a personalized plate on the forum.
What's the one famous saying "Great minds discuss ideas" or something like that

I will check tonight if 4CURVS is available.

Alfisti · 10-11-2023, 01:20 PM

4CURVZ

Alfisti · 10-11-2023, 01:21 PM

4KURVS

I'm glad you like the plate idea (BLEWBYU). I was inspired by an old Linda Ronstadt song.

Absolutely not.

I'm not blasting my plate number on the net.

Pauly Wauly · 10-12-2023, 08:25 AM

I didn`t have time last night to check if 4CURVS was available, so this morning I looked up a bunch of different plate ideas/suggestions, and of course, 4CURVS is not available

. Also, these are not available. BLEWBYU, G2GCYA, GOT2RUN, MOVEOVER, SEEYA, CUL8R, CMEGO.
4TWISTY, CNYNCRVR, MOVEBYE are available.

These ones are all available, 4CURVVES, 4CURVEES, 4CURVVS, 4KURVES, 4KURVS, 4CURVZ, but the only one that kind of speaks to me is 4CURVVS.

Edit; I also like 4CURVZ, so it could be one of those two.....I forgot to add 4CURVZES to the available ones.

Minacious · 10-12-2023, 09:47 AM

You could keep it very simple and go with: IT TURNS.

Pauly Wauly · 10-12-2023, 09:49 AM

4CURVZS is also available.

Which one of these three (4CURVZ, 4CURVVS, 4CURVZS) would you pick?

That's a nice too

I was surprised that CNYNCRVR is available. I like it, but like I mentioned to cmyx6go, I would like a plate that people will know/understand what it says/means right away.

I still like this one the best and think people (car people) will get it.

4CURVZ

This one, no contest.

Any time I see a vanity plate, my assumptions about the driver are usually correct.
