An acquaintance of mine in Minnesota has OHM RUN on their red MS.

Bonus points to anyone who knows not just what MMCXII is, but why I'd put it on a plate
An allusion to Rush -- which is quite appropriate for a speedy car?
2112 by my reckoning, confirmed by an internet calculator.
As to why, I'm not sure.
I'm attracted to palindromes but I presume you chose it as a pop culture reference.
Say ... this song ?
There is also a connection between this song (I think) and an old arcade video game called Llamatron.
My apologies to Google for wasting cycles to track this down.

My X and 3 are matching, both black/black dark tints, and chrome deletes, and the X is lowered and the 3 will be soon. I have two plates on order that should come really soon. BLKMDL3 for Model 3 and BLKMDLX for Model X

I could never think of a good one, but with all the short burning happening, and their constant refrain of "TSLAQ", I though "XOMQ" would be a funny inside joke.

Rush didn't have any car songs on the album 2112, Moving Pictures has Red Barchetta, that's a good driving song, zoom

I've never done the vanity plate thing, but if I decide to it would likely be my screen name - if they allow it.

Bingo. 2112 was my gateway drug to becoming a Rush fan back around 1979. Saw the "album cover" in a "record store" and checked the "liner notes" and bought it immediately without having heard a note or knowing anything about the band. (You kids can look up the words in quotes).
True that "Red Barchetta" was on another album and now I have a fast red car but I'd have to really butcher the name beyond recognition to make it fit in 7 letters.

I ran NOPEC on the Leaf for a few years.
If your DMV wants to know the meaning of your plate, like mine does, say you bought your wife’s wedding ring from fopec.com and this is her car. That site was setup by someone for justification for their license plate. Referenced here on TMC many years back in the Model S license plate thread. I get a chuckle out of the “came to America with only 3 dollars to his name” line in the about us page.
That is good to know as I will definitely be going for that.
I was going to do this... and then California sent me a plate that starts 8DYX. Seriously CA? Now I may have to go personalized plates.
Oops. Surely you can ask for a replacement ?
If the MVD is stubborn, you could just report the plates as stolen

Nope, 2 is at the end. I did learn that plates can be exchanged for $21.
I did see recently on reddit someone in a different state had 8DYX247.
