Oops - correction - Canon is available - he has not renewed it in over 3 years, thus it's back in circulation.
Nikon is available also -last person that had it was in 2001 in Houston.

And, both the Canon and Nikon tags come with a cute little license plate cover that reads "why yes, I do have expensive camera equipment inside, so please break into my car and steal it."
Thanks, but no thanks.  | | | |

Only one I've actually seen photo-related was PHOTOM.
I've also checked on PWN3D and O RLY. Both are taken. Back in high school, my CB handle was "Anorexic." (I know...not PC at all, but I was a semi-rebellious teen) The State allowed me to get ANRXIC. I doubt that would pass muster today.
EDIT: NTITAI, if I'm getting 'Stros plates, B G O would fit.

What about PC-O-SHT? That'd work on my truck.

I am glad and sad I live in OK...you get more letters for a personalized license plate but we aren't required to have a license plate on the front of the car so the backwards ones don't work  I had "Z24CHIC" on my Z24 Cavalier back in highschool. I might need to think up somethin' for my new car  | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
