True.

Yes, most definitely JanetMermaid,
we need pics of Dory!

Sorry for not posting back sooner -- yesterday was crazy. Anyway, nope, not an orphan. I signed up on Nov. 8 last year! Originally I ordered a blue one. Then when we test drove the yellow at Smart Center Round Rock we decided the yellow was really cool. Then I rewatched Finding Nemo

and I realized her grin and bug eyes made her look like a Smart. Plus her black swirl pattern looked like the tridion cell. So I added an extra set of blue panels onto the order.

I'll be adding the vinyl letters on the back bumper that says "Just keep swimming". (A good motto for me, considering yesterday.... long story.)

I'm stuck on license plates, though. I wanted DORY, but it's not available. I can get TXDORY or MYDORY or DORY42 or 42DORY. I'm open to suggestions. Which do you think would look coolest (and whose meaning would best "click") if you saw the car going down the road?

What about __DORY_? Thats how it would look online. Have you tried that? I know my R2D2 is taken so I have to figure out a different way.

Dory42 sounds like a winner

Can't do _DORY_.

I like the idea of DORY42, when it is mentally translated to be "Dory Smart FourTwo" -- but lots of people who see it will think of the number 42, and not the name FourTwo.

Then again, 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything..... so maybe that works too!

Oh, I was refering to a different site. I went to txdot and 1DORY1 is also available.

**jediknight36** · 10-19-2008, 08:32 AM

It also used to be 7 spaces, now its six?

**jediknight36** · 10-19-2008, 08:42 AM

Janet, if you go through TXDOT http://www.dot.state.tx.us/services/...es/default.htm
They will send you to My Plates. Have you been there yet?

**jediknight36** · 10-19-2008, 08:47 AM
