LONGWAIT
WORTH-IT

I would go with WORTH-IT or LONGWAIT. Nice and original. Stay away from Mom's anything or HER anything!

By the way, what a nice guy you are...buying Wanda a C4 for your anniversary!!

In part it depends whether she wants to be recognized, recognized as a person or recognized as a mom...

and will you ever drive it alone? and how do feel about the plate and what it says about you?
What is the main statement you want to make... it's hers? It's a toy? it took a long time but you have made it and can afford it?

When I see Her XXX it gives me the connotation that someone gave it to her...
When I see Mom XXX it gives me the connotation of either someone who wants to be thought of as younder than they are...
Unless you know then WANDASC4 is the safest bet, though not the most creative...

Good points. She has wanted a Vette since she was 15 years old. Every time that we have had to buy a car during our marriage she has always wanted a Vette. I was the one who always said they were too expensive or impracticle. One of our best friends bought a '93 new and she has always said that was best looking "body style" to her. This will be our 25th wedding anniversary and I wanted to get her something that she has always wanted.

One more thing...I'd let Wanda pick her own plate! And if not, then go with something more original than her-something or Moms-something or Wandas-something. Just my thought!

I am with "worth it", too. It's my favorite because it is a double mesasge: you know she is, and she's saying it, too. I really like it.
