RE: I NEED HELP PICKING A PERSONAL PLATE
I would say that cryptic plates which take time to 'decode' don't work well at all. I've sat behind cars in traffic and racked my 3 brain cells trying to decipher the plate in front, often without success

What I'm getting at is take your time, there's no need to rush in and compromise too much, I see loads of plates which simply mean nothing to anybody else but the owner who's obviously pursued his desired word too far, which kinds defeats the idea I think.
When I picked mine I had a list of real words I wanted and simply went down the list until one was available. It's amazing how many cool words are taken, even obscure ones, but you'll get one in the end. The one I ended up withwas like the 12th on my list :-( But hey, it's a word and everybody knows it's meaning...... Sure, it hacked me off that I couldn't have "Blown GT" but I wasn't going to throw a fit and settle for "B10wn GT" instead.
