Change the license plate?

[Aurora40]

Well it's been two years and I have to renew my car's registration. So I'm wondering if I should take this opportunity to get a new license plate, or stick with what I got? I thought the one I had might be a bit too esoteric, but I've had people comment positively on it a few times:

That one certainly lets everyone know what is under the hood. It will look good on the garage wall when you decide to replace it with something new.

I like it personally. :thumbsup:

We ZR1 owners know exactly what it means. Unforturnately, no one else does. It is in the same catagory of "Keys On" plates that I have seen. Nobody has a clue what it represents other than ourselves.

My vote: Don't change it, I love it...or, if you want a change how about "LT5 32V" :mrgreen:

Personally I think your current one is great.

Very true, though I'm not that bothered if no one else "get's it" - I just ordered plates for mine, if they come through it will be "DREAMZR1" which is exactly what it is for me.

No doubt lots of people are going to spend time wondering about the pholosophy is behind DREAMZ(dreams)-R-ONE is supposed to mean :)

I think that one is a keeper myself.=D>

[guinnessdood]

How about LOTU5 (I've never seen one of those) Of course only we fellow ZR-1ers will have a clue what the hell it means.

[Aurora40]

I did think "LOTUS-V8" would have been cool. But it's taken. I could do "LOTU5-V8" or "LOTU5 V8" probably.

[Aurora40]

A co-worker had this suggestion. I actually think it's pretty good, sort of funny and also a bit esoteric for the ZR-1 faithful:

[guinnessdood]

That's kinda cute-n-funny...much better than something like BOAT ANCR

[1990 quasar blue]

I like it and would probably keep it. Here's a few I've been thinking about.

1 S 2 1 8 0

1 8 0 S E Z

C F I LU Z (saw it on a Mustang) Yeah I know.

The thing I enjoy and find interesting about presonalized plates is they're as different as their owners. We each want to convey a message about the car, some in your face and others a bit more complex. To me that is cool.

Aurora40 I like your 32V LT5.

My old plate was GOZ 180, my current plate is THRLR Z.:cheers:

That's a great one and one you probably won't see on another. We'll know what it means though. I have called the motor that for a while now. :hello:

My current plate is SNKSKNR

[guinnessdood]

Mine is EZR1DER I think it suits me...

[tomtom72]

Bob, I like that new one....and no one outside of a few will get it. Maybe some boat gear heads from the early 90's will get it too...if they were into the go fast scene.....but I liked your original plate choice also.

It seems to me that only other vette owners and kids from the video game era even get what our ZR-1 emblem means, let alone any of our plates. In NYC traffic I get a kick out of watching the Dad in the mini-van behind me look at the emblem, look up, look at the emblem again, look up & somehow get along side and say "nice looking vette, what's ZR-1 mean?" I get a chuckle everytime...I guess we all do in those circumstances.

Another suggestion from a friend:

[zr-1assassin]

keep what u got!!!! edumacate the world! mine is U'DLOS and no-one gets that either:icon_scra for some reason??? the ladies at the DMV thought it was a mexican word!:mad: its a good thing they got vaginas!:mrgreen:

[Z Factor]

I see someone suggested Lotus as a possibility but personally I don't care for it.

As to yours I like it, and think another along the same line that would be good 4 Cam 32v or 4 Cam LT5.

I like the LT5 reference, but anymore 32 v and 4 cams doesnt mean much... a lot of v8's now have that same configuration. We all know how special it was and still is to us, but to the public, to the guy driving a Titan, "he says cool, just like my truck".

Just my opinion

[Aurora40]

Well I went ahead and got it. Should be here in a month or so. In VA it doesn't cost any extra to change the plate every time the reg is due, so I might rotate them every two years.

I agree on the 4cam and 32v references. This is fairly common on non-vettes, though I wanted something to go with the LT5. I'm also not a fan of having a plate say something the car says, like "ZR1" or "Corvette" when there are badges right there on the rear (though I like your "ezr1der" Uly).

And the 180mph ones, the DMV tends to reject them. No speeding related plates are allowed. Plus with 180 vs say 175 or 185 or some other speed, 180 sounds like rotating the car, not a speed, or does to me.

So for the next two years at least it'll be "BOAT MTR".
