As this town is a driving town we needed a car. We had the good fortune (?) to inherit a 1999 Lincoln Town Car! It is a boat, a boat with four wheels, painted maroon with tan leather interior and a ride as soft as cotton candy. I'm slowly getting used to parking it but there's a problem. It still has Kansas plates and we need your help to choose a nice personalized one.</p> <p>A quick aside, there is actually a funny story about how the car got from Kansas to Phoenix, but I'll let the wife tell that one as I had to fly directly with the cat.</p> <p>AZDOT has a nice little online thing where you can check if your choice is available <a href="https://servicearizona.com/webapp/vehicle/plates/startChoice.do">here<br /></a></p> <p>We came up with some ideas and need you guys to vote or suggest alternatives (up to 7 letters):</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">What should Sir Eccles and Gritsnyc get for their license plate?</h5> <div id="poll_container_48107_77288141" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">12%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>KCWOLF</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">7</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">21%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>MMMRIBS</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">12</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">16%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>ARRWHED</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">9</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">27%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>AROWHED</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">15</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">14%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>KCCHEF</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">8</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">7%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>I'll suggest one in the comments</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">4</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>55</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_48107_77288141').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset> http://www.podiumcafe.com/2009/7/10/944877/question-from-the-wife sir eccles Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:32:11 -0000 <h2><a href="http://www.podiumcafe.com/2009/7/10/944877/question-from-the-wife">Question from the&nbsp;wife</a></h2> <blockquote class="chat"> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p>Is Astana going for a 1, 2, 3 on the podium in Paris?
