I've seen several that always make me smile, including SUM VET, ILUVETT, UR2SLOW, 400 HP and 5 MPG (saw yours in Smithville JW3101).

But my suggestion is doing something with your year. 69 RAY, 69 VETT, 6T9 RAY, 6T9 VET, SIXT9VT, or any other variation that lets a non-vette owner know your year.

Again these suggestions that we give you are just that, suggestions. I didn't figure out your vanity tag suggestion and I consider myself an expert tag interpreter (if there is such a thing). However, the decision is yours regardless of what we suggest.

BUT please let us know what you decide!

I would try to have something with the year. I tried with mine, but everything was taken with '69 or a variation. I am going to get a license frame with 1969 on it as everyone asks me what year it is.

PRNDL, do you drive a slate-blue/gray 74-77? I was in the Concord area around Easter and saw a real beauty being washed on a nice day...had to slow to gawk a bit.

Andrea, I like the bush-pilot angle; your original one was way to obscure, although I did figure it out after a few.

Now (and I can't believe it hasn't already been requested), let' see the pix!

I like the idea of putting the year in somewhere, people are always asking. This year I have "82 XFIRE" Last year I had "82 CROSF", so they know what year, than they ask what's the XFire means. Can't win

I think you have to read it backwards in a mirror to get it.

Didn't you guys ever see the Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets the wrong vanity plates (ASSMAN)? The true owner was a proctologist.



I got a temporary sticker today, so that gives 40 days to decide on a vanity plate. I couldn't figure out how to add pictures to my post, there are some in my album in my profile. You guys given me a lot of good ideas, thank you, keep em coming.

Until now, I thought I caught them all. Musta missed that one. Makes sense now with the NY plate though.
