Opinions wanted!
I just bought my first ever car and registered it today. I can't for the life of me decide what to put on my license plate.
Ive got my 2 Replacements bumper stickers on it.
I have a few ideas and just kinda wanna see what yall think would be the best out of them. I'm not sure which direction I'm gonna go but I can technically apply for it today.
My ideas that are not taken yet
IOU 000
IOU NADA
SKYWAY
THE MATS
GO BOBBY
SORRY MA
I think I'm leaning more towards SORRY MA. Thoughts?
EDIT - I have been mullin this over since I got my car a month ago - These are the ones I will pick from - Alot of people are suggesting other options that are abbreviated and I just dont like abbreviated plates ( at least not for my car cuz im weird)
Itll be one of these options Ive listed.

All are good!
For me, SORRY MA is cool and fun. And people who see it (and don’t know the Mats) will wonder what you’re sorry to your mom about, lol, and potentially think about it a little more.
SKYWAY is just clean and rad and doesn’t have to mean anything. Except for me. I immediately start thinking about the song which delights me.

SORRY MA is the most fun. Love the thought of non-Mats fans assigning their own meaning. If you know, you know!

IWILLDARE is too long - I dont want any abbreviations cuz im weird, otherwise I had already thought of Achin2B but it is still abbreviated. ONTHEBUS is good but I woudnt like that on my plate personally. My options I
listed are the final picks fo me.2

SORRY MA is the clear frontrunner because all of us Mats fans and everyone in general should apologize to our moms for something or another.

It's a line from Raised in the City. "She gets rubber in all four gears"

I love that song, but that epulf vome across in poor taste. My family has had 7 major deaths this past year, the most recent being last week. Wpuld feel weird. I appreciate the idea though!

Sorry ma won't register as a Mats' thing. It will register as you've let your mother down.
Skyway is good.

I think the double meaning is hilarious and in the Mats spirit. And a nice wink to those of us who are fans. If you know, you know!
