VANITY PLATE CONTEST
Created November 8, 2004, at 1:29 pm by Anonymous
Enter your ideas for the best Hybrid Car vanity license plate. On December 15, the ten most creative and funniest entries will be selected.
Hybridcars.com will offer a free download copy of "An Insiders Look at Hybrid Cars" for the winners. Here are a few ideas to get started:
HIGH MPG
GRNMCHN
QIK FIL
My '04 Prius is DBL 07. It's such a James Bond-like car!
how about: NV MY MPG
Mine isn't very creative, but I like it -- XBREED.
Ooh, nice. I had suggested HIGH MPG in a different thread a while back, and I'm happy to say that I have successfully reserved that plate in Illinois and am awaiting its arrival. That's my entry!
I had also considered 51 MPG, HALF GAS, and, to commemorate the name my girlfriend gave to my car, HYBIE. I look forward to hearing more ideas.
For those of us hybrid owners who like sports and outdoors, and frequently have gear strapped to our roof racks . . . . . . ."IMNSUV!"
how about LO CO2GO
How about:
CLN AIR
GOT GAS?
(heart emblem)2BRETH
BYE GAS
We already have the following California plate on our '02 Prius:
DBL MPG
I like this one: HI BREED
Regarding my response HI BREED - I should add that I live in Hawaii, so it's a play on words for Hybrid and HI.....
Here are two of my favorites;
GAS MISR
PASS GAS
My California plate is:
PRIA GRL
Another one I considered:
FUTR NOW
Perhaps the past-tense of HI BREED ... try HI BRED or HI-BRED
I can share the plate my wife actually has on her 2003 Toyota Prius: KAYZZZT
The idea was to have it read "Kay's IT" or it can also be read as "Kay zzzt" as if she is giving you a spark with her finger after scuffing her feet on a rug!
By the way, we love our Prius!!
Third option [from above] is HY-BRED.
Third option [from above] is HY-BRED.
"SMOGLTE" - Smog Light
or "LNGFRND" - Lung Friend
LIL GAS
ZEROGAS
GRN PWR
LESSGAS
GASLESS
GO HYBRID
HYBRID USA
IMAQT
IMEZ
RN ON MT - "Runnin on Empty"
VAPOURS - can run on just the vapours
EMS BENZ - the actual plate my daughter has for the
black Smart Car she wants as her first vehicle!
NEW AGE - says it all !
PLUGITIN - a new way of fuiling up !
My "GR8ONGAS" plate has got lots of attention here in Toronto.
Happy Hybriding....
Barry Chute
Caledon, Ontario
How about NO PLUG (dispel the myth!)
or NO OIL (stick it to the man!)
PDLN FST
TUMS WRK
SVN AIR
My plate just says GREEN, which on a silver/purple Prius is kind of funny in its own right. It was funnier when I went on an Army base, had to fill out a form identifying the vehicle, and very much confused the Sgt in charge - he thought I'd put the Color in the Lic# space.
How about CLEANMCHN ?
I saw one, on a Prius, here in Los Angeles, from the window of my Prius that said OHMLESS. Still considering my own...
We've ordered "LITELY" for our new Prius, as in, tread lightly on earth.
We've had our '02 Prius since 10/03 with HAF GAS on the tag. In 2/04 we got our '04 Prius and promptly put on HAF ELEC tags.
Love to leave both cars in the driveway... or the garage door open!
Helene & Jim in Tampa, FL - driving mostly around town, only some hwy...
'04 (HAF ELEC)w/7,527 mi - 50.130 lmpg calc.= total miles/lifetime mpg
'02 (HAF GAS)w/26,964 mi - 47.689 lmpg calc.= as above
GAS SIPR
(gas sipper)
"NOPEC"
CLN AIR
Not funny, but true
55 4 55
NOGSGZZLR
(NO GAS GUZZLER)
ATPCL-AMRCN
(ATYPICAL AMERICAN)
NO4NOIL
Am considering this for my Escape HEV...
I've seen GASSIPR on a Prius in LA, terrific!
EZONGAZ
My Brother-In-Law (Jorgen Vos) has "TAX OIL" on his car:):):)
MYBRID
HYBREW (I'm Israeli driving a Hybrid)
HEBRWD (A converted Hybrid)
My present plate is SIPS GAS. I wanted GAS SIPR but it was already taken in Virginia. Another idea: I LVU GAS.
My plate gets lots of comments, all positive, and many questions about how I like the car (I love it!).
Bob (Virginia)
how about SIPPER
ANOREXIC
PITTANCE
SQEAKER
our 2002 Prius has 2gob4 (the latin word "prius" means "to go before"
My plate is:
MAX MPG (Utah plate)
I get 62 mpg in my VW (highway, 65 mph), but figure I haven't reached the max yet. See pictures at www.max-mpg.com
MRBLUSKY
GR8 MPG
I've been having a blast reading this thread, but I must admit NOPEC grabbed my attention the most ;) Keep the plates coming!
Hey i thought of a sorta cute one...let me know what you think? " nomo gas" or "elktrfy" (electrify)
CLNAIR
PURAIR
ARODYN
HYBRID
SMART
HRD2GT (that was a joke about how long it takes to get one. I am told I will have to wait 60 days to not even get what I want. It's not funny)
So, if I had one of these highly sought after mobiles, I would have something to say. So far all I can say is that I am one of the many who can't wait to be a part of this movement. It is progressive, logical, and completely necessary in my opinion.
Just so you know, there is an independant film coming out soon called End of Suburbia which is supposed to talk about the oil crisis in the world. I heard it was supposed to be very informative and most-likely disturbing for those who don't take the end of oil into consideration when they are filling up their hummers.
My 2004 Prius in California is

I just registered the very first American made Hybrid (also First 4x4 Hybrid) in the entire State of Colorado yesterday. My 2005 Green Ford Escape Hybrid (silver bumpers and lower body cladding) will have the regular Colorado License plate, Green letters on White backround & silver Mountains and will read
B-GREEN
I can hardly believe that combination wasn't already taken! Whooohooo!
drivers, start your slide rules
7SQDMPG
My 2003 Civic Hybrid plate here in Utah: "GASNKWH" for gas 'n electric (kwh=kilowatt hours)
Just saw this one on a prius recently in So. California:
NO OPEC
My 2004 Prius Hybrid vanity plate reads:

I have mailed a picture of the plate to you.
What a great car!

My 2001 Prius has the plate LORAX. My wife has a Buick Rundevous, for those times we need to haul the boy scouts and a christmas tree. Her plate is Onceler. These will make perfect sense to all Dr. Suess fans. If you don't get it, read the Lorax.
my plate reads
KIKNGAS
to be read as kickn' gas (or kicking a** if you don't get it)
Joel Silverman
1994 Chevrolet S10 Electric Truck (312V, no gas)
Puck OFEC
BEst milage I've gotten in my Insight was 72mpg. So my plate will shortly read:
72 MPG
Although that is not my usual mpg it does make people start when I tell them that's the best I've done!
LO GAS
LOW GAS
NO SMOG
Comment: does anyone feel that there is a chance of being "keyed" or vandalized with a plate like this?
When I fianlly get a hybrid minivan (when will they be available?) I want my vanity plate to be
No2Gas
(I prefer "SayNo2Gas" but we are only allowed 6 characters)
My Insight plate has FRMSPCE (from space). Although the guys at the office thought it said "farm spice" LOL
My 2001 Prius license plate reads "SULEV" and my husband's 2004 reads "PZEV".
How about >.......DRIVE HY!
"heart" sighn MY HYBRID

My wife and I both own Prius 04. Mine is a Silver, her's is a salsa.
My Oregon Plate is FREE US
I've had it since Oct, 2003. We got one the very 1st.
I like it for all the messages that come with it
It rhymes with Prius
I intended it as a message to FREE US from Gas dependence.
During the election, some imagined that it meant FREE US from the current administration
For my friends on the other side of the spectrum - the message could considered patriotic.
For my Jewish friends - it could mean "Let my people go"
My wife's current plates say BE GRN. But she thinks it's too direct
But she has on order H3D WG - Kinda goes with her subversive sense of humor and hybrids.
"GR8 SCOT" would be excellent for a silver Prius as a little nod to the DeLorean in Back to the Future. If I had one, that's what my plate would say.
I saw a plate in the Bay Area on a Honda Civic and it said CVC DTY - Civic Duty - I thought that was clever :)
How about "HyDrive" ,or "HyDread"
"HyDred" works too. Perhaps "HyBuy"
Here are some more:
HyDriven

My favorite is "NO4NOIL" by Joan. :-) Foreign oil is a problem.

Hello.
You may see my 2000 Honda Insight running around San Diego,with plates JETSUNZ.
On my space age vehicle.
My HIGH MPG plate arrived and I installed it last weekend. Regarding the comment about being keyed or vandalized ... yes, I do feel a little self-conscious now ... although it's similar to a political bumper sticker, really ... fortunately, all the comments I've had about the car are positive. Then again, I live in a liberal area and have cool friends. (smile)
)I have not got My prius yet but already have teh license plate on order
ECO NMCL

My California plate on my 2000 Insight is BIGOIL O

I have a Civic HX (VTEC-E) That gets 44mpg
And it is all gas with 110HP.
[Simply broken down it means elite hacker]
I just registered NIMHROD in California.
Nimrod means hunter, NiMH is the type of battery in the prius Nickel Metal Hydride. Rod is the obvious short for car.
Either everyone will think I'm very clever or that I personify the informal meaning of nimrod which was Elmer Fudd in Bugs Bunny... :-)
Love my Prius.
ok so what 10 were picked to win??

My Insight is:
MPGXMPH
miles per gallon, not miles per hour.
Or it could also be miles per gallon x miles per hour. The Insight easily gets 60x60=3600, can you beat that?
My 05 Prius is MORPWR
I plan on getting a new plate for my 2002 Prius soon..... SELDMMT (seldom empty!)
I have owned a PRIUS since OCT 2000.
That Model 2001 carried the Georgia Tag 2GOB4
as does my 2004. I think I thought of it first.
I shall make that claim until proven wrong.
My prius's vanity plate says:
24 Volt
I owned my new '05 Prius for 4 months before having it totaled last week in an accident (the other driver was at fault). My vanity plate was "NIXOPEC", which I have removed and am holding onto until I find my next hybrid (maybe a Prius, maybe not!).
My Highlander Hybrid Ltd has the plates "DRUNK"
"DRUNK"
I don't get it.... I wonder if the cops will.
With the speciality license plates in Virginia, I only have six letters.

My '05 HCH simply says "HYBR1D". Good ones all around here though. Too bad I cant get more characters.
just got IV EARTH on my 2005 prius. peace

Why limit yourself to what fits on a license plate?
Make it clear to the world that you are driving
a very special and different car! Here's what I did:
http://www.logicalpoetry.com/transport
I see this list continues well past the contest cessation. Cool. My plate says "Y GUZZLE". I think it a fair question.

I read about this vanity plate on an article online.
MO MILES (more miles)
We made the move to vanity plates when we bought our Toyota Highlander Hybrid because the Toyota marking on the back of the car is way too small and we wanted others to know we were driving a hybrid that is at least sort of easy on the gas...our Ca. plates read...LITEGAS
I was on the Toyota Higlander Hybrid waitlist for over a year so I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted. Here were some I liked:
- Mybrid
- Hy-bred (as in good breeding)
- 1CLNSUV (but it was taken here in WA)
- PC SUV (my friend thought of that one)
- 1GRNSUV
- OHM RUN (but too many people thought it was about yoga.)
- I finally chose HY-NRG because I am am a pretty high energy person myself.
I'm surprised that I didn't see GAS SVR anywhere in this discussion - my CT Insight plate since 2001 - any others out there?

Personally, If I were Henry Ford's Great Grandson, I would line up all my Exec's, tell them that the first guy that designs a 100 MPG vehicle get's my office, the rest of you are fired. You have 1 week. The problem would be solved.
How about this one?

My Plate for my 06 Civic Hybrid simply reads, "HYBRIDS". However, I had a plate frame made that reads,
(Top of Plate Frame)
We Pass Gas...
(Bottom of Plate Frame)
Stations, That Is! 45MPG
Most are amused when they read it, some are disgusted. We love our Hybrid and love passing gas!
I'm thinking of RED LORAX for my Prius. How many letters can I use?

9 E16 J on my vanity plate.
This is the answer to Einstein's famous Energy equation: E=mc2, which works out to be (for 1 kg of mass) = 90 petajoules, or 90 E15 J, or in my case simplified to E= 9 E16 J, which is "9 raised to the sixteenth power in Joules". I'm in California, but have no copyrignt on any other states. :)

We also have a bumper sticker that says hybrids kick gas which you can get from greendeeds.com
as far as getting vandalized for your plate.. come on folks.. enough about not sticking up for what you beleive.. besides you would get vandalized for the car if that's how you feel.. nobody has touched mine and in this day and age.. just maybe people are finally waking up like the rest of the world.. this country is so clueless.. we've been so dummed down by our own country you know
