Title: Arcade inspired license plate
Post by: GameOver on June 22, 2005, 10:19:37 pm: I wanna get something on my license plate that shows I'm a classic arcade enthusiast. Any ideas? I tried different variations of GameOver (GmeOver, GameOvr, Game0vr, ...) but they were all taken. Pac Man is also gone. Pac Dad isn't taken :P. Also 80s Gmer or 80s Gamr. Any other ideas?

Post by: GameOver on June 22, 2005, 10:51:32 pm: VA's DMV website allows it. Check this link out & select 'passenger standard issue' (I think that gives you max spaces on the plate). After you plug in your plate, it'll tell you if it's available or not.

Post by: GameOver on June 22, 2005, 11:02:10 pm: :D

I 'plugged' in 'ASSMAN' on the website, and it said it wasn't available. Neither was '1up'. But, '1upASS' is available. :-X
Title: Re: Arcade inspired license plate
Post by: crashwg on June 22, 2005, 11:03:50 pm: PAC MEN is available... :P

FKTARD is too. :o can you imagine the looks

All available:
IHAV 2P
GIME 25
RTFM
IVNIK8 (fornicate)
UU D 44 (use the force) US D 4S works too I guess...

Too bad about the "space or dash" rule otherwise
1000101

I'd love to get that one but we have to have at least one letter...

Post by: NY_in_TX on June 24, 2005, 03:40:18 pm: not arcade related, but this is the greatest license plate ever. Genius, and would only work in Florida...or some other state with a big round object in the middle of the plate

I wanted "WakaWaka" but it's too many letters

put "MAME" on there and see if Foley trys to repo your car.

This is the best one so far. You get a subtle PacMan reference, without being too much of a dork.

I just got that one, shmokes. Right on! Very cool. BUT - not accepted by the DMV thing-a-ma-hoochie. Don't think all those dashes will fly. Great idea, tho.

SPC INDER

Ummm.....WTF? I dunno what the heck an "INDER" is, and no one else will either. He'll have to be explaining that one to everyone who sees his plates! That's one of them there words that REQUIRES you to spin the wheel one more time to guess a letter.
