Nice looking ride and you can go online and check for the plate you want. I have a Torch Red '01 6 speed, so my plate is XCELR8.

I too am not a big fan of vanity plates. Most of them I have no idea what they say and look stupid.

But there are exceptions when I do like them, as long as I know what they say, but to a point. Not a fan of desparaging other cars or people. But something like blueC5 or 2KFRC, things like that are cool.
Agree completely with your thoughts on vanity plates. I know that BLUANGL may not be available in a standard plate but with all of the specialty plate options I figured it may be available in one of the variations.

I was admiring that car in the for sale section. I'm a bit biased as mine is Navy Blue also. My favorite!!! I also have a Dakota I ordered new that's about the same color. Got a set of Chrome C6 wheels for mine too but takeoffs from an 07. Congrats!!!!

FYI - None of my plate choices (or any variations of) were available in Florida... too bad

BLUANGL sounds good to me. Love the color combo - blue w/light oak interior, stunning wheels w/gold calipers!! Very sharp.

Thanks a bunch!! I'm definitely very excited about it. BLUANGL was my first choice but it isn't available. JETBLUE isn't available either.

I may end of going with a regular plate. I haven't though of any others I like enough. I'm a tennis professional so I tried to combine something tennis and automotive/corvette but I'm drawing blanks...

1 LUV
ONE LUV
MATCH

Good ones! Probably leading the way now although I am thinking I may just skip the vanity plate thing. I like 1 LOVE. Also maybe 8 LOVE (Referring to the V8 as well as what is known as a Pro-Set in tennis with the score being 8-0). Also maybe 12LOVE (One to Love... and 12-0 in tennis is 6-0, 6-0). Hmmm...

1 LOVE is the best I have so far. Thanks! Unless I come up with a better one then I'll decide between a standard plate or 1 LOVE

Unbelieavable! 1 LOVE got taken in Florida within the last 24 hours.

Unless some new corvette/tennis idea comes to mind then I may go with this plate

http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/specialtyt...ss_Summer.html

I thought the contrast would be good for the blue paint. Or, do you think one that matches better and has less contrast would look better?

This one is not tennis related but my wife wanted me to get "LIV WONZ" since that is my day to day theme and I am a cancer survivor, but my last name is CARR so we decided to stay with the CARR theme instead...
