ErinC1973 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ok, everyone. My mom bought a Mazda RX8 a year and a half ago. For those of you who don't know what this car looks like, here is a picture: (it is this color also) http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/display ... leCode=RX8 She called this her "midlife crisis" car. I said to her, "I thought we already did that with the last car (she had a red Pontiac Sunfire). She said, "Oh, that car wasn't sporty enough." This car was rarely driven and it only has about 2000 miles on it, and now it is mine. I just can't part with it knowing how much she loved this car. We just signed all of the necessary paperwork this week. So here's my question: We have to change the plates on the car, and my husband and I were talking about putting something on them to honor my mom. Here are some things to consider: I am her only child, and I have b/g twins who are 4 and were her entire world. I gave birth to her third grandbaby, a boy, 3 weeks after she died. I believe we are allowed 7 spaces on the plate. I considered something like "Momscar" or something simple like that. My husband suggested "gramyou." Ok, there is a story behind this. Before my twins were born my mom kept saying she wanted to be called something other than "grandma" to distinguish between the two grandmas. She suggested "Grammie." I really didn't like this, but when the kids were born, she kept signing cards "Grammie." (eventually we wound up calling her Grandma anyway) She moved in with us when the kids were almost 2, so really just starting to talk. One day my husband said "give Grandma a kiss." My mom said, "not Grandma, Grammie" (emphsizing the "mee" syllable.) My husband said, "Ok, Gramyou! ...I guess you had to be there. Anyway, that's the reason why he suggested this. I don't really like it--don't know exactly what I want but something clever to remember her by. Anyone have any fabulous suggestions?? Thankyou for your help!

Littlegirl Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 How about MISSUMA ? for miss you mom (or grandma). Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebsSky Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 How about 3MSGRAM? To indicate you missing her, her being a grandmother, and how may grandchildren she has from you. Just a thought, good luck with it, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I would have gone for the Miata myself, but to answer your question: Zoommom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
