I want a vanity plate for my car. I know there are a lot of creative people here to help. The car is a blue Mini Cooper convertible. I have thought of a few but I know some of you can come up with a lot better! In WI you can choose up to 7 characters, but no special symbols. Capital letters or numbers only. I don’t want anything sexual or suggestive; they don’t allow that anyway. So far I’ve come up with: 1. MINIAC (stolen idea from another MINI’s plate in another state) 2. P\_MINI (my name is Patti) 3. TOP\_DWN ('cause it is a convertible) ---

Thanks! The \_ in mine above represents a space…it won’t really be in there. I just copied them off my sheet and I added the underscore so I’d remember to put a space on the form. ---

GOT2COOP Why was it changing these to lower case? Bizarre. I’d type caps then it would change to Got2coop. ---

BLUBERY hard to give you a suggestion without knowing anything about you, but i think a blue mini cooper is about the size of a blueberry 🙂 ---

that would be confusing to half the people - since you have to have front plates in WI. ---

I’m sure it taken, but PACKERS or PKERPAT And if you’re not a packers fan, what are you doing in Wi? ---

Thanks everyone! I really like CHEERIO, too. I am definitely not a Packer fan. I live on the border w/MN so I don’t feel in the minority rooting for the Vikes (most people here are transplants from the Cities). I’m just afraid my first few choices (MINIAC, TOP\_DWN) will be taken already. You guys are so creative! ---
