A&Q about Lotus
Q:
My Californian S1 Elise VTEC has "ELISE TR" on it.
Two meanings, its an Integra Type R (ITR) drivetrain, also the head is red, so its a TestaRossa, like the Ferrari TR's. Anyway most of the good Elise derivatives had already gone.
A:
If Massachusetts were not so strict about vanity plates (6 characters max, must start with two letters, can't go letters-numbers-letters), I would get:
35173
A:
Well I enjoy reading vanity plates, though I have never been one to want one- Why make it easier for someone to remember your plates?
Really Osipher, it must have been some other Lotus Elise
Anyhow...
L8 BRKR
NXT APEX
MIS TRES
This is one I thought of for my WRX wagon:
WAYGON (E)

Why not get EL153 then?

certainly possible.
i liked two things about the all-number idea:
1. not at all obvious, and doesn't even look like a vanity plate.
2. pretty much exactly correct when rotated 180, rather than having to reverse single letters or anything..
your suggestion is something to think about though...
A:
How about PNISNV?
A:
how 'bout...
PWR 2 WGT
UHLEEZ
S2 4 ME
TRAK TOY

How about TOYTUS?

Web site listing vanity plates and their owner's interpretation:

A:
EGO15T
The plate has followed me from several Miatas, an S2000 and now the Elise
Several interpretations:
Egoist
OR
Ego 1st
OR
15 tonne Ego
You need to be able to laugh at yourself
A:
Anyone know where I can do a search for a Texas plate?
A:
My wife got me this plate for Christmas. Now I'm waiting for the car...
A:
Tim,
We think too much alike!
I too have a vanity plate waiting at the DMV for my car to arrive.
To see what your plate would look like...
A:
I have one waiting for me too.
Thought about 111 KART
Then I liked COMP CAR but decided maybe it was a little "in your face" for a car like this to boast it is your company car. Like a license plate that said PAID 4.
Since it was a company car, I decided it should be company related. CHASECAM is too long. Shortened versions just did not work. Since the Elise will travel with cameras on it at all times, always recording I settled with ON VIDEO.
A:
Whoever gets the 1st customer car should get this one...
A:
I just sent in my request in GA for; OMGHI2U
A:
How about SER KILR or EATS SER
A:
the 2 best plates I've seen in California have been on Rolls Royces:
On an old 50's classic: SORDARF
On an 80's monstrosity: WTHQPNS
I'm thinking:
APEXL8R
CRVCHSR - my wife says she thinks that's cute and then smacks me.
TYPE 25 - yellow stripes required.
FED111R - I usually don't go for this kind of labeling.
BLKWTCH - but I'm afraid it reads as black witch.
A:
Mine just came in "ELESE" for MA. The correct spelling was already reserved.
A:
For what it's worth, to go along with my ELISE plate, my '72 Elan has had this one for the last 11 years (and I used to have "ELAN S4" when I lived in California - I seem to have a pattern):
