The ones I put down as my "alternate" choices were just silly like EMPEG1 for example. I wish I'd thought of that L33T way of spelling it, but I'm glad I didn't need it.

I'm curious. How does the California liscense plate system work? Are you saying you had to submit choices/requests to someone via email or something? Here in Virginia, we just type in the letters/numbers we want and the page automatically tells us whether the plate is available or not. I'm pretty sure if you tried to type in some kind of vulgarity it would tell you you couldn't choose it.

I too picked out a vanity plate for myself (I think I've mentioned it here before). I think it's a great plate considering it's a van and I play the saxophone:
