Alas poor car....I have a different convertible now--a frost green Sebring, and when I moved to New York State, had to switch license plates because someone already has AMAROK. Had I known that, I'd have not moved here.  That would have been it! (Just kidding...I think.) So now, the license plate is ORABIDOO. Half the time I think it is OMMADAWN, and even started explaining, when asked by my daughter's math tutor, the meaning of OMMADAWN before remembering that she wanted to know about ORABIDOO. Also had a carload of women stop me at a rest area to ask about it. The car is fun to drive on the highway in good weather, which we certainly got to do on holiday last week and the week before. Handles well in the snow, gets good gas mileage for a non-hybrid, as well.
Mix--Re: the movie....I wish they'd avail it elsewhere, too. We have a great independent film theatre in Ithaca that would be the perfect venue for it.  |
Well, Orabidoo is cool too!!! (one of my favourites too). How do people respond when you tell them that it actually has no meaning and is a song by Mike Oldfield? (probably something like "who?")
It's so funny... we don't have this system here in the Netherlands at all, where one can choose a name for his/her license plate. We only have numbers and digits, which are chosen when the car is imported / manufactured. Where do you go if you want to choose a name?
