    I'm waiting on KICKGAS ... I'm not the first in the country, but it's my favorite.

    My second favorite... EVOLVED

    I was too afraid of getting run off the road by some right-wing nutjob to make a political statement like:
    OILKADA, or WAR4OIL

    Also in contention were

    GOESFAR
    4 EARTH
    ORGANIC
    2SLOW4U (I hypermile, getting 57.2mpg average over the liefetime of my prius)
    GREENER
    PROGRES
    ADVANCE

    B List:
    HUMRH8R (Hummer Hater)
    2GREN4U (Too Green For You)
    LESSOIL, LESSGAS, LESSWAR, LESSCO2
    AIR4US, AIR4U2, 4CLNAIR

    If you use one of these, send me a picture!

    Our Prius came with the standard plate "DGE394"

    We call our Prius 'Dodge' which is a play on a brand of less than economical trucks and how we dodge petrol price increases. :D

    I like the way you think. My personalized plate reads /DEV/HYB

    As an aside, I met somebody in the parking lot a couple of months ago who said she liked my plate. Hers read UID0

    I'm doing great; thanks for asking :)

    That super-geek license plate will be heading back to Durham/Chapel Hill for the weekend tomorrow evening. Unfortunately they wouldn't give us the Friday after Thanksgiving off. :(

    The week after Christmas I am going to have to sell Prissy, and the mere thought of that just about makes me want to cry; it has been by far the best car I have EVER owned and I am really going to miss her. Right after New Year I will be moving to Cotonou in the country of Benin in West-Africa for two years, and unfortunately a Prius is totally unsuitable for the local conditions. I did buy a '93 Toyota SR5 King Cab 4x4 pickup truck from my predecessor; considering that only the main roads in town are paved and there are two rainy seasons during which most other roads essentially turn to mud a four-wheel drive vehicle is pretty much a necessity to get around in any kind of meaningful way. At least it's a Toyota, but is sure is no Prius :(

    Hope you're still doing well in NC!

    - Bill

    My wife and I came up with EMIT THIS which I really loved but is too long for British Columbia. I hope somebody else can use it where they allow that many letters. We are restricted to 6 characters plus one space here so we ended up with CUT CO2. Not nearly as funny but I like the idea that I'm sending out that message wherever we go.

    I saw a good personalized plate on a Prius not too long ago on highway 101 near the San Francisco airport.

    Well? Any Takers?

    Hint . . . There is NO yearly fee for displaying it.

    Everyone loves it, as do I.

    Was a toss up between this one and KIKNGAS. Told my husband that's what we'd put on his when he got his own Prius. :p

    Hint... I do NOT use KE6IYV on my plate. I'm not an E-geek, but I am a... well... user. 73.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Super Muffin Girl @ Jan 24 2007, 03:24 PM) [snapback]380339[/snapback]</div>
    That would be a GREAT one for a car that used NO gas. Almost wasted on a Prius.

    Being quite familiar with the peak oil concept, I decided to take you at your word and went after it with goole. Must have missed the surprise? Do tell.

    When I shop for all my geeky gadgetry (Plasma TV, HD-DVD, SACD, etc.), the first question is, "is this good 'bang for the buck': With the Prius the answer was yes, thus: BNG4DBK.

    Yes! Because being in the Prius is simply not geeky enough ;)

    I've transferred by plate "DYLN DOG" a few times... from my Volvo V70 to a Rover and now to my Prius. I got the plate because my Golden Retriever was in the car all the time (expect hot summer days). Now that she's gone on to doggy heaven, I have a great way to immortalize her and I smile every time I see my plates. Does anyone have cool license plate frames? I have a Surfrider Foundation frame.

    Forgot to add - I saw a Prius in a parking lot, the plate read "HADASUV"... laughed my butt off! :lol:
