My kids have been trying to name my truck but we can't seem to come up with anything. I'd like it to fit on the plates if possible. Here's a couple pictures..

Coppertop

69trk · 11-08-2009, 10:21 PM

Speedy? I wouldn't suggest the name I have for my truck. I call it the Oogly Truck.

UltraBlue71 · 11-09-2009, 01:41 AM

I always wanted to call mine MISTRESS because I spend all my free time and money on her....

westofb · 11-09-2009, 03:07 AM

CPR-6T9, CPR-7TE, or CPR-C10 not sure of it's year and not sure how many digits you are allowed on plates there, here in MO you can only have 6!
