What is a cool vanity plate suited for my car?

Lately I've been thinking about getting a specialized (vanity) plate for my supercharged Max. I'm still trying to think of something witty. So far I've came up with random ideas, VQ30SC, SCVQ30, BOOSTED, BOOSTIN, SCINSDE, SCEDA32, SCEDMAX, MAXPWR or MAXPOWR (my cousin recommended those because of this little clip, link) , A329PSI, MAX9PSI, VORTECH, VQ30V2, SCV2MAX, A32SCV2. Right now, I kind of want something only tuners would figure out, or something that only Nissan drivers would probably know. In a way I kind of don't want others to know I have an SC, but then again I want them (tuners) to think pretty hard what my plates mean and eventually come to that conclusion. Do you guys have any ideas? Actually what do most Maximas get? Any input is appreciated.

Yea, that one is cool. Just looking at your sig got me thinking of more ideas but kind of hard to get it to fit in 7 spaces, SHIFTSC, SHIFTV2, wouldn't look right without an _.

Yea, I was also thinking of plates that wouldn't give them a reason to pull me over, though I would like to see the look on their face when they ask me if my SC is legal and I show them the CARB sticker right next to the blower. Hmm...what else?

what about scvqmax, quikmax, tghtmax, or you could put (the # of hp your car has) with hpsc. for example 285hpsc. that might be too obvious though. blownvq.

Yea, the 275HPSC would be something for bigger guys to frown on, haha. BLOWNVQ is cool.

i was watching this truck show and this guy had this plate YBLEGAL. I thought it was funny. You could put YBLOWN. then they would think you are not supercharged. This is a good thread. People should post what the coolest plate they ever saw was.

VQ30DES

Slight deviation of the VQ30DET.

Sometimes I daydream that my license plate will read:VQ35DET!

there are other restrictions, too... in Mass a vanity plate MUST start with a letter. A friend wanted 3VOM (MOVE in the rearview) and the registry guy said "must start with a letter."

Yep. It has to start with TWO letters.

http://www.state.ma.us/rmv/vanity/

"All vanity plates must begin with two letters. The plate can be no more than six characters, or a maximum of five characters for motorcycle plates."

Thanks, I've been looking for something like this for awhile, for some reason the MD MVA site didn't have one.

hmmm...when I got to get my S-10 Blazer I'll probably transfer the plates on my Maxima to that and get new vanity plates that say VQ30NA.

Ben, you should definitely get BLOWNVQ on your plates. that would be pretty tight.
