I have been restoring MY 73 for 14 years and am a WWII nut so I am thinking about:
ROMMELN
After the German Desert Fox.
It can be interpreted as to persevere. |

So what did you end up with? SUMTHNG or WLDTHNG or go backwards with GNIHT. _________________ Change is Opportunity!

It is my belief that Rommel committed suicide via a cyanide pill, at Herr Hitlers urging, to avoid being shot along with his whole family. By doing so the family survived. |

Trying to decide if CMYTHNG is inappropriate... LOL
I'm going to hit up a couple antique stores and see if there are any YOM plates available. If not, then I'll go with some custom tag.
Kansas wants me to have 3 options in case one is taken I guess. You'd think that in this day and age, it could be pretty easily looked up in a database. _________________ Dave Cook

In NY you can look up if a plate is available on the DMV web site. I still have VW THING. _________________ Supposed to be 77käfer, but there are no umlauts on an american keyboard

I had this plate for many years when I lived in San Diego. When I moved to Indiana, I was able to get THINGY as well.
Now I live in Florida, and plan to get a personalized plate that only has 5 letters. I haven't decided yet what to get.

See now you can't just stop at 1. Your plate specifically says " Minnesota THING Collector" _________________ Supposed to be 77käfer, but there are no umlauts on an american keyboard
