Default A fun question

So I did a search and there are plenty of threads about the RPO codes. Everything from the suspension packages to the Callaway and beyond. But, I'm just wondering...

What are the RPO codes that your car was ordered under that you like the most, and what are the ones you wish you could slap the original owner for?
For example.
(keep in mind that my 91 was probably built for an old person...)

My favorite was the.... well, nothing really. The best I can think of is that whoever ordered this car was plenty selfish. He sprung for the automatic driver's seat (AC3), but let is wife in the passenger seat fiddle around with the manual one.

I hate NN5. It's the California emissions package. That and FE1, which is the soft suspension. That explains a lot.... dam old people

While you are looking at the RPO codes, see if your sheet has 1AY which indicates the vehicle was part of a dealer stock order.
Stock order cars are typically built with the best selling options at the time, cars ordered for a specific buyer will have RPO code 1AZ and those vehicles will be optioned to the buyers taste.

- works for me too. Thing is that there wasn't much a ZR-1 buyer could have selected. At least for the 95s (my car) once ordering the ZR-1 option itself, there was only ordering dual tops and deciding on color.
