I'm getting a car. I'm thinking of getting vanity plates. I looked on the Nebraska DMV plate availability site, and tried a few of the ideas I had. NE plates allow 7 characters.

Here are the results:

LADYJ is unavailable
LADY J is unavailable
NEWYORK is unavailable

YO JOE is available, and is currently in the lead. It is, of course, what GI Joes (like Lady Jaye) say when they run into laser fire that never touches them. I dunno if I love it enough to pay $30 a year for it.

AYBABTU is available, but the only people who would get it would probably also key my car for having it. The up side is that it would drive 99% of the people who see it batty on their way to work in the morning, trying to figure out what it means.

NOOYORK is available, and is also the name of one of my vanity domains, but a reminder that I'm paying to maintain a domain with which I'm doing nothing constructive.

I'd love some other ideas.

Hoo boy. This should be interesting.

The smoking gun is currently running info on vanity plates that have received complaints in Wisconsin and Florida. Some entries are:

YOMAMMA
PUTICA (means "little whore")
4NIKATE
FOKEW
ONDRUGS
FUCT247
GETNSUM
EMWOLB (reads "blow me" in rearview mirror)
FAAHKU
FL8ME
COPUL8
4UHOES
6Q - 2Q (equals 4Q)
IH8GOP
HODAWG
MUFDYV (maybe not your style?)
RUHRNY
IMHRNY

But if I had to make one up I would suggest: DOMN8 U

All classics. I heard a few that got rejected by DMV in California...

RCH PHKR
XLNTSX (He was a saxophone player.)
GODZGUD

Yes, that last one was rejected. There's a 'No dieties' rule on vanity plates in CA.

I'm gonna have to remember that "fellate me" plate, though.

Sure.

Or it could mean you have a hardon for those who spin records.

Or it could mean "lay me, I spin records."

OK, then how about:

Surely that wouldn't arouse anyone's ire.

Maybe a bit obvious (and I haven't checked for availability) but what about LADYJAY?

Other permutations, off the top of my head...
LAYDEEJ (LAYDEE-J if you can include the dash, or a space)
LAYDJAY

Other possibilities...
JDOTNET
JESICAR (Terrible pun, I apologise profusely)
JESSNET
LDYJNET (LDYJ-NET possibly)

...and completely unrelated ones that are popping into my head...
CNSORED
NOOYAWK (how the words "New York" sound to most people when said by a local)
NOIDEAS

ladyjdotnet August 2, 2001 11:08 AM	I think I've decided that enough time has lapsed that AYBABTU is not as annoying as I would have once thought. That will be my first choice. After that, I guess my second choice will be one of the laydeej type dealies. I hate that, though. My altnick on irc is LadyJeigh, but 9 characters is too long for a plate.

ladyjdotnet August 2, 2001 12:24 PM	I'm just hoping the DMV will let me have it. Once I get my mind set on something, it MUST come to pass.
Post #11114	link

gabe_billings August 2, 2001 12:29 PM	Once they realize AYBABTU is really the name of a demon from the ninth circle of hell they'll probably decide not to let you have it.

I just bought an 82 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance. It has no rust and has 75,000 original miles. The engine was replaced at 45,000 miles. I'm getting it repainted, the interior re-done, and some stuff like a new A/C compressor, shocks, and a power steering pump. It's my 68th titled vehicle and my 8th Caddy. It's a bit expensive to restore, but I figure that for $4,500.00, I could have a car that I enjoy in close to factory condition, or own 1/3 of a Saturn. If you shop around, you can find some dope wheels for low bucks.

Love,

bunner

Yeah, perhaps... but my main concerns are convenience and comfort.

I need it asap, not whenever I can scrape up the cash to get repairs done.

I need a/c, because I will not suffer without it in another car.

I need an automatic, because I get frantic and start crying when I repeatedly stall out at stoplights, which makes me mess up more. By the time 3 stoplight changes happen, I'll be ready to abandon the car.

The way it looks is fairly far down on the list. I just want reliable transportation.

When I was 18 or so, me and my gay best friend had a fantasy plan to buy a school bus, remodel it for weather and comfort, paint the outside all wacky, and drive across country picking up all our IRC friends, a la muppet movie.

We were planning to hit Minnesota, where there was a math professor I had been chatting with for a while. He was also a Universal Life Church minister. I was going to have him perform the ceremony so my gay best friend and I could get married. Then we'd take him along with us. Then we would have a scandal a few days later because I'd "find out" that my husband was gay and he'd "find out" I was having an affair with the minister, and we'd get an annulment.

We just wanted to have interesting stories about our past to tell our grandkids.

Fuck.

We got to Hastings and picked up my car and took Sam's dad out to dinner. Then we got on I-80 back toward Lincoln, and the car made a shuddering noise and started smelling weird. Then the check engine light came on. I pulled off at the exit which was coming up, and Sam pulled off behind me. The car was spewing white smoke out from under the hood. The smell was a nasty-sweet burning coolant type smell.

Sam's dad is picking it up tomorrow. I dunno if that will be fixed and I'll keep this car, or the car will be returned under some lemon law or another.

I'm bummed. I'm going to go sleep off my disappointment now.
