Default First ever personalized plate

Got my first personalized license plate ever for the vette. After 12 years of marriage, I know damn well who the real boss in the house is. Besides, it was her idea to let me get the Vette as an early Christmas present. So, I figured people should know that 😉

Good for you. 12 years is a good start - I'm at 34 years next week. And yes - my wife was super supportive on the Vette purchase!!

I like that vanity plate. Well done!

I am thinking that "C7 - M7" might be good for my upcoming 2017 Stingray 2LT in Torch Red. Most people who are not 'Vette enthusiasts will understand what that means, though.

I know what you mean....

In the past I always would buy the previous generation corvette. Back in 2005 when the beautiful C6 came out i was beginning my search for a used C5 and my amazing wife talked me into getting a brand new C6!

It was awesome! she said the same thing when the C7 came out...she is the best!

Congrats. 50 years next month. My wife found the C5 for me and was the impetus for the C7. It's nice having a wife who is an enthusiast. We met at an autocross and our first date was a rally.

So if we were to compare that to your relationship, what you're saying is that your wife is the brains and driving force (motor) and you are the work horse (rear tires, driveshaft) that is responsible for making things go where she wants (front tires)? Huh, I guess my wife owns the front half as well 😂
