Default Many Thanks!!

Just a short note to thank all of the forum members who welcomed me to this site. I drove the C6 about 300 miles yesterday and it performed as expected. I guess all of you know how hard it is to keep the speed under 55mph, but managed the best I could. I did hit 60-65 a couple times however. The clock now reads 468 so one more trip and Im in. I have personally owned over 100 cars in my life and my Corvettes have always been my favoite . If I may request a favor it would be greatly appreciated. I checked with the DMV and the plate 06C6Z51 is available. Do think it is COOL or over the top? Opinions please!

The plate is OK. I had "2K3 Z06" on my '03 Z06 and it caused a lot of comment. Only problem is it is car specific. If you switch cars later you can't really take the plate to the new car like a "normal" vanity plate. Now I have "1M F457" and it can go on any car I'll ever own.

Personalized tags are just that, personal, so don't give a second thought to what others might think about it.

Up to 468 miles and you are sitting in front of your computer instead of driving your Vette, hmmm.
I think your choice of the plate is cool , go grab'em before it's too late.

Default Plate is good to go!

Hello BigEarl56!

Great news on the car and the plate is great. Defintely not over the top, just showing your pride in ownership.

Good Driving!
