Only in Oz... When vanity plates first became available here a lawyer friend of a friend applied for, and got, "REKNAW". Things were great for a while and then I guess there must have been a few complaints so "they" decided it was inappropriate and tried to take it back. It turned out that the law gave them the right to decline a combination but no ability to claw one back. It took three years, a change to the law and a modest payout before he had to give it up.
A little context: Union Pacific tried some gas turbine locomotives in the '50s. They were far more powerful than anything else but were also prone to roasting flocks of pigeons and melting blacktop off of overpasses and were louder than hell. But what really killed them was when the petrochemical industry found uses for Bunker C fuel oil, which they burned in abundance, and the price shot up and made them uneconomical to operate.

You forgot to tell them the nickname. If they can restore a Big Boy, I hope like hell they restore a Big Blow.
