What 6 letters for a Diesel Vanity License Plate?

I found out that vanity License Plates out here are like $60 vice $150 back on the West Coast so I just maybe get some. I have a restored, repainted Midnight Blue 1985 300D. I need some help for some Diesel Oriented Vanity Plates.
I have kicked over:
"FIXEDUP" (too many letters)
"IMBLUE" ( my 85 300D is midnight blue)
"DIESEL" ( probably grabbed long ago)
"DEISEL" or "DIESAL" ( looks like Diesel)

but I need help!

OM617. Only the real MB geeks would figure that one out.

I have 2 of 'em with vanity plates:

OL BENZ

and

OEL MTR

I don't think OM 617 would fly in Texas. Too much like a regular alphanumeric plate.

D-Cell...now that's just way too cool!! I just put vanity plates on my SEC. Here in Cali only $49 extra. The 9 week wait,though, was tough.

Um...

I've heard of "sooting" someone, preferably when their windows are open, but spooge is actually a word, at least one I've heard a good few times before, referring to a bodily fluid.


I like the SOOT4U plate, I might just have to see if it's available where I live! I just wince at the cost of the vanity plates here!

Hmmm, I just realised that nobody mentioned this...

Make whatever license plate saying you want and see how it really looks on the plate before you decide which one to get. Or just make pics of the funny ones you know will never pass inspection.

I'm thinking now that Michigan is going to the white plates with blue lettering of just getting a vanity that matches my front German Euro Plate.....
