Vanity License Plates ideas???

[mwalsh]

Oh, I tried that 800 number but it put me in robo answer hell. I asked for the operator and was on hold 45 minutes before I gave up. I did this several times and gave up for good. I wanted to tell them too that on line said Culver was closed!

Oh, OK. I had a feeling that it might be that way. I actually have an appointment for the 18th...the first day I can go....I'll just show up and play dumb.

They told me that they have to notify you 3 times, at least 2 weeks apart, but that it often ends up being 30-day intervals. After that, the plates are returned and destroyed.

So, the best is to go get the plates put on your currently-registered car, else the DMV will NOT give them to you. Go to the DMV office that you had the special plates sent to.

Then, if you do not really want them on your current car, go back (at least a week later) and say that you want regular plates for that car, and that you want to "Retain" the special plates. You now get to keep the plates, awaiting your new car.

Both should be no-charge transactions.

If you have troubles, there is a state "complaint"? DMV office, with a phone number that connects to humans, in Sacraento, CA.

Found my form. Didn't put it in my briefcase....left it sitting on my desk at home. WooHoo! Unfortunately, the phone number on it is that same dumb call center. GAAH! :?

Thanks, Gary. I followed your advice and it worked just as you described. I went back to AAA for the final switch. They weren't busy. Literally, took me 5 minutes at AAA.

Finally!

Finally!

Cool.

I'm still debating ...

0-EMSSN
CO2FREE
OILFREE
...

Unfortunately my original idea of NO2OIL is not ok - because "K, W, or N followed by 1 letter, 1 number and 3 letters (used for HAM plates)" is not allowed.

Those are good. Hard to fit some ideas into seven letters. In the end, I punted and used the license plate frame to help.

My second choice was REVOLTN, a double entendre: 1) re-VOLTing (EV pun), or 2) revolution...which I hope we're starting here.

One obscure idea considered & rejected was KAERU, a Japanese word that means both "frog" and "change". Seemed to fit but no one but my friends from Japan would get it.

NO GAS 00 to 99, or some such?

 

[TRONZ]

Very Nice! Grab em while they last cuz it seems like alot of the "electric" themed plates are getting snatched up here in CA. This is a good sign I think.

 

[evnow]

Tronz, what does it mean ? Short for Eletrons ?
