I am thinking of getting Vanity Plates for my 70 SX. Let me know what you think of these suggestions:

BESTSX – Best SX (am I bragging?)
AWSSX – Awesome SX ( am I bragging again?)
SXFRVR – SX For Ever ( OK, I am bragging)
SXFEVR – SX Fever ( I have that)
GOTSX – Got SX ( I have that too)
1970SX – 1970 SX (too boring?)
YNOTSX – Why not SX ( too needy?)
OLDSSX – Olds SX (accurate, but am I appealing to the wrong audience?)

Thanks, Peter

LOL Peter.
You should post this with an on line poll and also have an 'other' option.

Sorry I can't vote for any of those. I'd be more inclined to suggest CLSACT (Class Act). After all, the CS and CS/SX are class acts and also have to reflect the classiness of their driver....

BTW, how did you get color font on your post?

Peter
Al maybe on the right tack
class + sx =

CLASSX or CLASSSX

Oldskeeper

I like BESTSX after all it's the best one you have....right!

Allan R

It's also the ONLY one he has...

How about another one? SX4EVR. Pretty easy to figure that out.

navvet

I saw a plate today as a matter of fact it read EZ-69

pcard

Yes, and the car is the only SX I have

I like SX4EVR and CLASSX. (Limited to 6 characters I believe)

Al - the font was a cut and paste from my word processor. How does the poll function work?

Cheers, Peter

Allan R

Peter, I believe you have to do that when the thread is created.

After you've titled the thread and added the general message, there are 4 boxes below with options, before you hit 'submit new thread' as seen on this screenshot. I've used it before and it's really easy, plus fun. Once you get into the poll options you list your choices and also have to specify an ending date. The poll results will be listed for you (at the top of the thread header) each time you visit it.
Looks like this:

my neighbor has a 71 conv sx & was able to get RARESX on his plate ,so whenever people see it the minds goes to the gutter, as you know many folks have no idea what these cars is all about

pcard

Thanks Allan - I will do that next time! I do not want to loose the good feedback so far.

RARESX is good too.

If the observer knows Olds, he will smile.
If the observer's mind goes to the gutter and he has a sense of humour, he will smile.
If the observer does not have a sense of humour and has gone to the gutter, he probably has experience with being there.
Bringing a smile for two out of three is good.

Cheers, Peter

NVRBTR (never better),
SXSROK (SX's Rock)
70CSSX,
GOTFUN, (better than Got Milk..)
TOPDWN (top down)
ISLESX (Bermuda's an Island, so Island SX?)
TPLSSX (topless SX aka vert)

Al Graaf

OH Allan you are so full of your self tonite!

pcard

Allan - now you have really made it hard for me to make choice!! That made me laugh.
I ran these by my daughter and we both agree that TPLSSX is on top right now!

Cheers, Peter

Run to Rund

I like 1970SX. If others can't easily understand it, the plate does nothing for you and the car.

oldcutlass

The police will think your a prostitute, and others may think your gay. The Olds people, who knows what they will think based on all the previous comments, lol.

pcard

They may think I am a Gay Prostitute! Too bad I do not have a 1969 - the options are mindless!

Allan R

Could be, but nowadays most people don't even know what an Oldsmobile is, let alone SX.

When I was (much) younger my buddies and I were walking to an afternoon movie past the Chev Olds Dealer on Whyte Ave and there was a car in the drive waiting for us to go past so he could enter traffic. His front plate read "1066". Anyone??

Well being the ever brilliant Grade 12 student I was at the time, I boldly walked up to the side of his car (window was open) and said, "Mr. Hastings I presume?". He looked startled for a second then laughed. What he said next was "Yes, and you're the first one who's ever made that connection".

Reference: 1066 - Battle of HASTINGS

Personalizing plates is, well ....personal.

This is a true story. I came home from work back in 92 and parked the car. Right about then Blonde jokes were all the rage. You know where this is going, don't you. My wife is blonde and she's smart, sweet and loving. But gullible.

Me: *mmwah!* (kiss) Hi Sweetheart!
Her: *mmwhah!* (you know). Hiiiiiiiiiii Sweeeetttieeeee!!
Me: Did you hear about the Blonde who had her name legally changed to LRX912?
Her: Puzzled look, then "Hey, Isn't that my car plate?"
Me: See, not all Blondes are dumb! (ducking)

Great story about 1066 Allan.
I told your joke to my wife - she did not get it (and I did substitute our license number).
My wife just told me the vanity plate is going to be "NOSX"

I think that's the automatic thing that happens after kids. Every woman I had the nerve to broach the subject re: sex/kids? NO WAY I'M GOING THROUGH THAT HELL AGAIN!!! (until it turns out they are going to go through hell again) But we all know how much fun it is to place the order....

Umm, just talking with friends/colleagues - I'm not a philanderer.

Peter,
just thought of another 1 ANTIPRS(anti-prius)

To me, it all depends on your philosophy concerning "vanity" plates.
Personally, I don't think "vanity" plates have to be about vanity.
They can be about information.

The first thing that occurred to me was that when someone sees my car,
the first thing they think is "What is that?" and/or "What year is that?"
since the average person doesn't know our cars as well as we do.
I have a couple of vanity plates-"67OLDS" and "OLD442".
When I had "W" cars, I had plates that read "69W30" and "69W31".
That's why I don't find "1970SX" to be boring. Maybe "70CTLSSX"

Using "MY" on a vanity plate is a waste of characters and kinda dumb.
It's fair to assume it's yours since you're driving it.

Also, don't make the message so vague that someone has to spend the rest of the afternoon
trying to "decode" your plate.

Jamesbo

I had one years ago that just said 'None" Think about it????

pcard

Ok - so my cousin says I should go with ANALSX ( he is kind of out there).
My California friend says SXSXSX

Let s keep this going.

Allan R

Your friend from Kalli four nya sounds like he stutters...SXSXSX LOL

ESSEKS - Long winded way of saying 'SX' and a good conversation starter
LUVVIT- As in I love it!
KLRUNR - Cool Runner
DRSXCS - spin on Dr. Olds (Dr. SX Cutlass Supreme)
DRMCAR - Dream Car
PCARD - The ultimate personalized plate. No one will know if it's you or the Captain of the Enterprise. Watch out for autograph hounds.

pcard

Believe me - after the amount of wine we drank last night we were all stuttering.

Tom

My 71 Cutlass (Hurst clone) says "UWANT12"

Mine is DADS65
A tribute to my dad who has passed
And of course now I am dad!

Allan R

So what did you finally decide Peter?

pcard

Allan,
I am going to go for TPLSSX (credit goes to you), but just found out that I have to keep my current plates until 2014.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions - it was fun!

tecar442

How about 7TSX?

pcard

Good one.

Peter

mike's88

How about SXLNT or XLNTSX

pcard

My top choices so far:
TPLSSX
XLNTSX
1970SX

72 Supreme

I have this on my Supreme and I still get asked "What year is your Chevy?" so what you put is up to you. Just a little side note is here in Jersey you have to submit 3 or 4 different ones and if they are taken then you have to start over and I'm not sure about other states.
Just my 2 cents.

docolds456

How about "FINEY79"? Y79 being the option code for the SX pkg. That will make them think!!

pcard

They keep getting better! If 79 had been a good year for wine it would also be an excellent double entendre.
