Default Corvette Plates

I have written to my State Senator here in Ohio and have asked him if could get the State DMV to come up with a Vette Plate. Here in Ohio we have dog, horses, lighthouses, retired military, etc.
I told him it would be a good moneymaker (I'm sure that if it's a money maker all pols would love it) if they had plates for exotic cars.

I'd buy them, but would anyone else?

Hey OldDad Whazzzzzzzz Happening?
I did write and tell them that a front plate was a total waste of time on a car. Also told them that if we just had to have them make them the same size as a motorcycle plate so we could mount them down on the air dam.
The plate police will probably be by my house and look at my velcro'd cover. Been stopped three time and have been lucky with the I was at a show or gathering.
I hate these state crappola laws. Revenue enhancement is all it is.

I just ordered one on line for about $30 from The State of Idaho, it's a Souvenir Sample Plate. https://www.accessidaho.org/secure/i...ed/plates.html

I'd buy one... I think that if you just get enough people to sign a petition type form that they can start production, or maybe it is if all those signature agree to purchase one when they do make the decsion, a good subject to check on though. Tennessee probably has literally over 100 different type available plates.
