Default On a serious note...

Having tired of the endless sniping over whether the Corvette or Porsches are better (obvious answer: yes), or whether the yet-unseen car is pretty, I turned my thoughts to the burning issue of C8 vanity plates. I'm torn between my perennial Floriduh favorite, and my model-specific phonics theme.

If it's available, putting a plate that says FERRARI on a red C8 would be priceless

I don't care for vanity plates, but if I were doing it for C8, I think ZORA would be tops.

May have Vette badges, but that isn't a corvette.

The LAST thing I would want is a vanity plate (that is easy to remember) on one of my cars, but to each their own.

A guy down the road has a Viper with a plate that says "NO VETTE", so maybe "NO VIPER"?

But yeah, never been a personal plate fan.

Well, you can form your own judgement on the Vette vs. Porsche bickering -- My point was that the debate was pointless (hence my sarcastic "yes" as to which is better), so I was just trying to lighten things up, Obviously, that was a waste of effort. Sometimes I just hate the frigging internet.

My personal opinion is to be creative or at least not so obvious, i.e. “BLK Z06” or “MY C7- really? no kidding.

If you’re going to spend the money ($150 per year in TX) for vanity/specialty plates at least put some thought into it.

That would confuse the heck out of people! I had a friend who recently passed. His last name was Ford, and his plate was FORDVET

Exactly, I own and love both myself. I suppose the plate POORSHA on a C8 would flummox fanboys of either make.

Best vanity plate I ever saw was years ago on a C4 convertible. Beautiful blonde driving. Plate read "NO WAY"
