You could post the letters on the plate and describe the car.

not exactly. When we were looking for the ZR1 we ran across a really good deal on last year's Z06 which we seriously considered. When she suggested that I would be forever kicking myself in the *** if I didn't get the ZR1, I new I had to make it up to her.
First we bought a 05 coupe as a sacraficial vette (read that as save the ZR1) and her daily driver - we were waiting for the C7 at the time. Earlier this year, we sold the coupe as part of the C7 planning.

So that's what "and they lived happily ever after" means.

JT was kind enough to point out something that wasn't terribly obvious. I had posted the picture in an album that was not "public".
Let me know if the pic doesn't show.
