05/10/2007: "Really Personal"

The Audi TT is so fun to drive and gets such a great reaction from people that I thought I would work on ideas for a personalized license plate. Since this option has been available to people for years, there are not a lot of clever ones still left. So since this is a German car and Jeanette and I have had occasion to speak German, I thought I would explore some German words.

The German word for drive or ride is, "fahrt." So that opened all kinds of possibilities as you can imagine. The one above is my favorite and actually is available (Can you believe it?). In an excited exclamation this morning, I shared the idea with Jeanette.

Seems we won’t be getting this plate for the car. There is a general consensus that not enough of the local population speaks German and may misinterpret. So the search continues…

Yes I would have to agree with Jeanette and veto this one! Definitely subject to misinterpretation!
