When I see license plates with "sex" or "hot" or "fast" or "cool" in them, I think, "adolescent." YMMV. Don't appeal to the hot chick on the corner with your plate ... appeal to the person you want to respect you from all corners. Just my

Anyway ... you're in Northern California, n'est-ce pas? TSX 1138 will get some knowing smiles. Maybe you don't know that the main character got away in a high tech race car.

I want something that will give the individual seeing it the "HAHAHA" or "Damn, that's clever". If I am spending the money to have the custom plate, I'd like it to be well thought out, not just something that I put together in a minute.
Although you may consider "OMG TSX" as adolescent-ish, I wouldn't mind having that, since a photo shoot with that plate along with OMG CL (Klepto) and OMG TL (Z3ro) would be pretty cool D:
I think "AI YAHHH" would be pretty funny, for those who are familiar with and or hang out with chinese people

Absolutely right, pick one that really hangs in your mind. Not sure i get OMG TSX beside the obvious. I think AI YAHHH would be cool, actually. I'd grok it just knowing it's an Asian-built car.
The first time I saw OSHI TSX, I thought of this, actually, and wondered what the connection was (until I looked the game up).
I guess if you wanted the double-entendre of TS(e)X, you could do things like
CASUL TSX
CSUAL TSX
BCKSEAT (and TSX is implied)
PREMRTL (ditto)
TSX YALL (might not fit your image; alternative, TSX UAL)
TSX PSTV (pretty sly, I think; YMMV)
I kinda like that last one. Like Mensa, not everyone gets every witty vanity plate ... but those that do can go, "Oh, a-ha, ha-ha-ha, that's clever."
... Wait, are they STILL limited to 7 chars in Calif.? That's ridiculous; it's 2008 fer cripes sake. I've seen 9 or more elsewhere, plus common punctuation marks.

My front license plate cracked in the accident, since I'd have to pay for a new plate anyway, I figured I might as well get a custom one for a extra 20$ and 30$ annual.
Here's what I narrowed them down to:
TE ES EX
OMG TSX (Would be nice to shoot with Klepto/Z3ro [OMG CL, OMG TL]
)
OSHI TSX (If allowed)

Why do you mount your front plate like that. Mount it the other way, so the plate is facing towards the ground, not the sky. (but not so much that you can't see the plate face.)

I relocated it to the bottom that way with a steel plate L bracket. If I had the tools and skill to do it the other way, I would. It doesn't bother me so much though, and I usually only run plates when I have to go to work (SFPD/DPT are assholes about no plates). And I don't like the JDM relocator brackets either.. if I had a choice, I'd run no plates, but there are consequences of that in which I can't afford to pay every week

I disagree. Some are really stupid but... on the way home one day I saw a suit and tie guy in M45x with license plate that said "401K2IRA". He is trying to brand himself. My buddy has one that is "PLN4LIFE" and he is a financial planner.
