Default Another vanity plate thread - please help me decide

Well, several months after a relocation with the family to Austin, things are finally settling down enough to turn attention back to my 993. Moorespeed in Austin will put on my RS Speedlines (still in boxes new), new PS2, PSS10 and a color matched splilt grille.

Also going to add vanity plates. I know many dont like these, but I think that they are kind of fun on our cars, if the cheesy quotient is kept to a minimum. I have narrowed down to a few candidates. What do you think? Which do you like best? To me, a vanity plate is clever, not obvious, but also not impossible to figure out.

AIRKUL (I had this on my last 993 S, I like it)
AIRCLD (another take on it)
NOWATR (yet another take on it)
FLAT-6 (applies to any 911, so maybe a little generic)
ENDERA (maybe ideally reserved for a 98, but I think any 993 could get away with it)
TURKIS (only Germans and die hard p-car fans would get this)
96 C2 (maybe a little boring)

For anyone in Texas, if you steal one of my plate ideas, I will find you!

Edit: FLAT 6 is my second choice of your list.

My suggestion: NO SUB; has political overtones...(and you are in Austin) but a clever play on "no substitute"

Jonathan, do mine in the great state of Texas:

(I also don't drive in the rain, and I am a Chemist by education, so it has a few twists for me)

Another cool plate might be:

AIRKQQL

The "Q's" will look kinda like eyeballs. I almost dids this, because most of the other spellings were already taken in Illinois.

6 spaces only in Texas, and I have checked to see what is available. These are. For instance, NOH2O is not...

There's a guy here who has AIRKOOLD. Looks good. You can see it in the most recent Excellence mag.

For those not familiar, "TURKIS" is German for Turquoise. If I am right, the official Porsche German name of my paint is "Turkis Blau". Any takers?

What about "GASPER"?

Jonathan, I think that there is only one plate for a stunning little blue 993 that makes you feel good every time you drive it....

VIAGRA

I've been saving that one for when my buddy decides to sell me his, though I have no plans to live in TX, so go ahead!
