Canon, Canon1, & Canon2 are taken (the #1 & 2 ones are by someone with the last name Canon - the plain one is taken by someone in Wichita Falls)

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.

a8a8 is available, as is robtf6

That's why I said Legend... and the original legend I remember.. dating back into the 70s.. was 8s over Aces.

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.

Someone back in the 80s managed to sneak through with TIHS HO, which in a rearview mirror reads...

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
