Come on, John! Let's see the HC that goes with that plate! LOL!
WV did the same, turned me down after 5 months waiting.I tried getting HellCat here in Louisiana, but got turned down by the DMV....
In WV you can check what is taken, not what is available or acceptable.In PA you can check availability online. Can either of you? Maybe using a 3 instead of an E or a set of 1s instead of Ls will pass. I'm sure hell gets flagged no matter what the plate says.
