Please tell me I don't need to explain the theme and where I am going with this?

PS, sorry the 17 needs a bath. LOL

So, trying to figure out yer puzzle here, it looks like you just need to buy a C1, a C5, a C6, and a C8... Right???

I'm thinking another $250-300K would get you there in great shape!

Hopefully I can complete the set before 9th generation comes out, if not, new plates all around.

If you didn't catch it, "of" was not available in all the plates, "UV" pronounced phonetically sounds like "of"

OK, I'll admit I missed it. I was putting the "V" with the "8", thus my remark about the very early Vettes which didn't have a V8.

You'd better reserve the other 4, or quick go buy the missing ones, before somebody happens to grab the tags for themself.
