1TMYMPG – pronounced "Want my miles per gallon?.

This was on a license plate from a South Park episode entitled "Smug Alert!"

The question I have is, would it make a good slogan for a tee-shirt to be worn while gliding?

Or would more folks associate it with the "smug" attitude parodied on the South Park episode?

One could spell out the words "Want my miles per gallon?" in big letters.

Or to keep things cryptic, put the "1TMYMPG" on the front and "450, baby!" in oversized letters on the back.

Maybe not as good as the "Make 7" / "Up Yours" tee shirt campaign, but almost as obnoxious, eh?

P.S. vbulletin changed the case to all lower on the title! - I guess it's programmed to discourage shouting.
