Hmmm...Ok here are my vanity plates:

Pony Boy – B10 4EVR – Beaten Forever = I used this because his relationship is not that strong with Darry and Darry hit him so...

SodaPop – QIK PWR – Quick Power = What can I say? He's strong, everyone likes him, and he is pretty fast.

Darry – GR8 FXION – Great affection = Darry likes Sodapop, PonyBoy and the gang and doesn't want them to the get hurt. That is why he uses anger and punishments as a way to keep them safe.

Johnny – WYT RETD – White Retired = He's pretty much dead so...

Dally – CRAY SEE - Crazy = Dally is crazy, insane, causes crimes, so this is how I described him.

Darry: PROUDGRSR
Proud Greaser-I give Darry this license plate because he is a proud greaser. He isn’t ashamed about it sometimes like Ponyboy. He is also the unofficial leader of the greasers.

Sodapop :LIVINITUP
Living it up- Sodapop loves life, and living life to the fullest. He lives for the moment and he’s not afraid to dare to do crazy things.

Dally: TUFASSTEAL
Tough as steal-I give Dally this name because he is a very tough character. He has been in gangs in New York City, and also in jail. He is considered one of the more dangerous greasers.

Ponyboy. DEVELOPING
Ponyboy is developing for most of the book. He doesn’t understand everything automatically and doesn’t use common sense very often. However, he learns many things during the book like the fact that’s all Soc’s lives are not perfect as he imagined.

Johhny: BRVASALION
Brave as a lion- Johnny is very brave during the time that he is in the book. He stands up to Dally(most people wouldn’t) and he even dies because of how courageous he was.

O.k. heres we goooo!

Pony= UNEEK 4EVR = unique forever I chose this because he is and always will be different than the rest of his gang.

Dally= R8ED R =Rated R I chose this because you don't want to hang around him, especially if your young.

Darry= 1NC A BOY =Once a boy
I chose this because now even though he still is at a pretty young age he has to support his two younger brothers. And we never really see a childish side to him or hear about it.

Soda= LUVN MAN = loving man I chose this because he loves Pony and Darry both very much and tries to make sure that they are happy.

Johnny= LEVN L =leaving hell I chose this because by dieing he left his mom and Dad behind who made his word a hell on earth.

Darry

INEEDMNY-I need money, as in MONEY, to support his brothers.
