My opinions on vanity plates (more)

A vanity plate is a very personal thing...whether you want something obscure to the public (GRIFFIN) or really obscure (GRIFFON) is up to you.
My own feelings are that a plate should be self explanatory, at least after a little head scratching. I am not sure that many people know what a griffon is in the first place, and very few associate it with a car. I do not want to spend a lot of time trying to explain my plate to strangers.
I have a list of 7 letter possibles for a fast Saab - my favorite is HOT SOB, since it has many different interpretations. With 8 letters available you have extra creative freedom.
Here are some others:
95 AERO
9 5 SOB
AEROS
AEROTIC
FASTSOB
KWIKSOB
HOTAERO
HOT 9 5
SOB
and some more that are more general:
ANTISUV
BLEWBIU - or variations (blew by you)
HOT BOX - My wife hates this one!
HOTWGN
NOTASUV
L8 APEX - or variations (late apex)
MMNMNNM - because it is so confusing - I doubt you could get it approved.
PUFFER - this was the name of my wife's late Mazda 323 GTX Turbo.
REDSHFT (red shift)
SLEEPER
WARPDRV - if you are a Trekkie
WARPSPD - ditto
The plate I would most like to see on my wife's chipped Audi A4 1.8T (she won't agree) is BOOOOST, since it has the Audi rings in it.
