Personalized license plates.

I'm looking for ideas for new personalized license plates. 2 to 8 characters (letters and/or numbers).

Keep in mind that the car the plates are going on is a canyon carver sports car.
My #1 pick was 4CURVES, but it's not available.


Thanks

Haha, that's funny.

TBH I wouldn't be surprised if canyon carver is taken. Just seems like it would be a popular choice for sports cars.

Do you want an In your face plate that everyone knows what it says/means or a stealth plate that someone has to think about to understand?

It surprised me when I posted in the Splain your user name how many people didn’t get mine, which happens to be a twist on my plate.

I want a plate that people will understand/know what it means right away, "in your face" kind of plate like you said. I don't want a plate that you have to slow read it, and you still don't know what it means/says.

Your plate I had to slow read it to know what it means. I saw the car it was on, and it clicked in.
It's a very clever plate, and I like it, but non car people will probably not know/understand what it means.

So far I like CNYNCRVR, but not many people will know what it means/says.

I think that CNYNCRVR is pretty straight forward and most people will get it, but like I mentioned earlier, it might already be taken.

If you like it, see if it's available. If it isn't, then it's back to the drawing board. lol

I too think that most who even care enough to look at the plate will get it. At the very least it will be a gas station question from time to time.

The large majority that do not get it will have no idea what a Canyon Carver is even after telling them what it means (let alone why it's fun to go fast in turns), and really, do you care what those that have no idea what a Canyon Carver is even think? I find these things more for the fellow enthusiast that will get it immediately.

With that said, I'll think of some others because, as Esteban mentioned, it is likely already taken.
