Mark, can't say I don't blame the OP...instead of picking a fight by saying all the names are gay...why don't you enlighten us all with what you feel is a good name? Not sure if your having a bad day or what...sounds like perhaps the OP hit your nerve? I would say...lets keep to the OP question & poll and stop the bashing. We are all vettes on here....lets try to act civilized.

Seriously! Sixty4, Bucwheat; OUT OF THE POOL!

To the OP, what does the first one mean?
TORCHED would be nice, but wouldn't mean much to onlookers who don't know the color names of your Vette.

For instance, mine is WP URMTH (WiPe yoURMouTH). People in traffic or out in parking lots when they finally get it, but I when they ask me, trying to guess... "Does it mean "We Pee in Your Mouth?"
or
"Okay, I guessed the first part, WP is for West Point. What's the rest mean?"

If it's for the vehicle in your avatar photo, then "JDGRN" might be appropriate.

If for your 'Vette, go with what your happiest with.

FYI, I had a vanity plate on my C5 for awhile...seemed to attract ricers who wanted to race me on public hwys, cops who liked to tail me for a while and misc road debris …now have the std issue plate from the state, no extra yearly fees and don't seem to attract any attitude cowboys.

Good luck on what you decide and maybe I might have ignited something here (no pun intended) and perhaps people might instead of saying all the names I have provided are also gay, just might provide a few of their own and you will like one and go with it.
Umm, probably not a good one..

Thanks wit2pz and extremevette:

1OF543...543 Red FRC's made in 2000...I found out today I have until my new registration card arrives to come up with the name. (Already have a plate on the car from a local dealer). I do appreciate all of the comments!

Regards,

Rossi
