Default Ye Ole Personalized Plate Thread

Ok, I'm planning on getting a personal plate for the Z in Oklahoma (planning WAY ahead here). Assuming they will allow plates using a foreign language (Japanese, in this case) with up to eight letters, these are the ideas so far:

Hashiru - to run
Iko - Lets go
Hayai - quick, fast, swift
Aisha - beloved car
Hayaku - quickly
Hokori - pride
Kyougou - pride, arrogance
Ouhei - arrogance, insolance
and, of course,
Namagomi - raw garbage

well obviously VERY few people will know what your plate says... and plates are not free. but I guess you know what it means, and thats what counts.

I liked pride personally, the meaning, and the spelling. you know people are gonna look at your plate and be like

cars arn't free, either =D but anyways, I figure nobody will know unless i tell them. it's really just for me, something to make a car a little more personal than "FDB 592" It would also be a stop-light converstaion piece ;D

once again, it's kinda the point. I'm not a big fan of the alphabet soup that comes along with many personal plates. besides, i'd rather not have something caustic, or something that could be seen as boasting, as i'd like to keep as much paint on the car as possible

Default IKO ZZZ

How about your original "IKO" for "let's go" and then "ZZZ"? People are used to seeing licenses in many states with a combination of 3 and 3, so just use:

IKO ZZZ

It will still generate interest, plus people can see the Z's on the plate. (Hopefully, they won't think you're asleep at the wheel! ).

Oklahoma won't have any problem with Japanese words, I don't think. My plate says SOOOOIE! Maybe that's Chinese like CHOP SOOOEY.
