Personlized License Plate

My plates say "SU ROOT"
Any computer geeks / systems administrators out there will know what it means -- everyone else is probably lost.
I will probably change them next year, as it seems that an unexpected side effect of those plates is that people assume it's Spanish for something... and it's not. I barely speak a word.
For the curious -- "su root" is the command to become the superuser, known as "root", on a Unix / Linux / BSD / etc. operating system.
Ok, now I feel silly.

I was always up in the air about a personalized plate... but this Murano I feel deserves it. The plate also sticks out in the back smake eye level of other cars. I think it would look great if I knew what to get.
What is everyone's opinion on this choice....
I grew up in New York but live in Jersey now... so I was thinking of getting... NYER or NWYKER
If that isn't available, maybe I could just go with.... AWCRAP .
I think that would make me smile every time I see it.... since I always say it instead of cursing. But I'm not sure if the rest of the world would think it as funny.
Let me get some honest criticism please... suggestions are welcome also.

Well, at one time I asked about MSAGRO and they said it was available, but I figured it was too much explaining. Looks good in a rear view mirror though.
So back in the spring of '03, when I hardly ever saw another Murano on the road, I got my present plate.
I dropped into a computer store today and picked up a couple of things. I get to the cash desk and the cashier had written it down, to tell her friends. At first I thought maybe I parked somewhere I shouldn't, but then she explained when I asked why my plate was written down on her pad.
Would have been a good opportunity if I wasn't married and she wasn't 20 years younger than me!

Honestly, I think putting the wrong personalized plate on a nice car is about the same as slapping a "Git R Done" bumper sticker or a "Calvin urinating on a Ford/Chevy/Dodge logo" sticker on the back. No matter how nice the car is, the classiness seems to take an instant nose dive.

HEY,
You were thinking the same thing I was last nite. I thought about posting this.
My tag says BYEBYE. I've had it since 1983. It did get stolen that year and I had to wait 5 years before I could get it again. The next year I got BYE2U2. Then, after the metal tags were available again. I got BYEBYE back.
In Georgia, new Metal tags come out every 5-6 years, we have to buy a new sticker every year. I love my tag. I get lots of kids waving at me and when you look in your rearview mirror, you can see people laugh and say byebye.
They're 25 dollars to get one which you have to fill out the form a year before. You get 3 choices and they can censor it if they think its dirty or something. Then you have to pay $25 every year for the prestige tag on top of the advelorum taxes. When I had the quest that I traded for this, they were 389 dollars, don't know how much the murano will be.
I also thought of CUL8TR but someone beat me to it. the other day I saw one that said URNZWAY
You are in the way.
There are lots of good ones out there.

My Brother in Law has WOAA YA as his and originally got it for his Bright Red Avenger. Looked great. A couple years after, I'm driving about a hour west of Toronto and I see a Red Avenger, a year newer with the plate OHHH YA and phoned him immediately, as it just made me laugh!
But this isn't the first time this has been asked....

With the talk about Japanese vs. Domestic vehicles, this might be appropriate!

Jaak,
Yeah, I think that's our Governor's plate. His way of telling Missourians what he really thinks of them after making 2400+ layoffs, position, and program cuts during his first few weeks in office.

:moon: Here's to you, Governor!
Apologies for the hijack. I'm just bitter today.
