First of all, let me say that I am very glad that you came through such a serious accident okay and still interested in cars.

Second, I think they are really cool plates and you should keep them.

Third, in a way (I hope you take this in the way it is intended), you can now say that you have earned them and that they apply now more than ever. I assume that they used to refer to your Vette being a convertable, and you being a lady. Now they can have an additional meaning to you.

P.S. My plates, "DSTURBD" refer to my friends saying that my intense love for Vettes cannot be entirely healthy, ha ha!

Its a great plate and now it is bullet proof. While the plate had nothing to do with the crash, it took incredible good fortune to survive that ordeal. The plate can be representitive of that awesome good fortune. I would certainly use it. All the Best...

Unless you think they are jinxed and caused the accident, I'd put them back on.
