Default I got a vanity plate for my S2

Sometime back, someone out there in the often times vast wasteland of the rest of the S2KI site, ran a thread about the "best" vanity plate (although, I'm sure he called it a "personalized" plate instead).

I found myself going through way too many of the submissions, many of which sounded too much like emissions (not necessarily of the exhaust variety) or references to wailing engine sounds.

I decided that there might be a plate in the future for my car, but only if I could capture the essence of the car with the plate. I actually wrote down the word "essence" and stared at it for about 22 seconds before I realized that a very slight tweak of the word made up of a very important element of what I enjoy about the car; close linked turns or, TA TA, esses.

My car now sports a plate with the following; "ESSES2K".

I like it.

I've always wanted "BYTE 1" but thought it would probably be a cop magnet.

But I like yours.

Bob, congrats on finally getting your new plates. Took them a long time to get here from Siberia, or where ever they were made. Looking forward to seeing them next week.

California does take a while. I ordered mine before I bought the car on Nov. 6th, but didn't get the S2k R until late December.

Vanity plates are fun...my screen name has permeated my car, too. The +1 ordered plates about six months ago (2nd Life - which I think is ...Carmen could have those, too) and they ended up being sent to some old address in FL. So dean, Vic, Grant, DrC et al - if you see them anywhere down there, you will know where they came from! They have to be reordered.
