The Gift Has Arrived!!

Jeff flew out to MO last Friday and drove the ZR1 home Saturday. It ran like a charm and gave him no problems. Unfortunately, the gas gauge is inaccurate and the radio doesn't work - 'course who needs a radio when you can listen to the purr of the engine instead???

We got the insurance, emissions, and plates yesterday and "took it for a spin." I was really well behaved and kept it under 70 in the city. *heh heh* What an awesome car to drive!!!

We applied for the license plate "WASDADS" but it has been taken. *sigh* We are noW considering "MONYPIT", "CANTA4D", "MISTAKE" - just kidding!! We are actually thinking about "THX DAD", "MUTTLYS" (Jeff's nickname) or "FUN2DRV." I'll update when we decide on something.

Congratulations on finally getting it resolved. I know it has taken some time, but you can now have plenty of fun with it.

It does not surprise me that your custom plate name was taken. I took a list of 6 names with me to the DMV, and every one had already been taken.

Have fun and keep in touch on the forum.

Congratulations, still looking for mine

Where are the pictures

LeoLily · 10-01-2005

Pictures are forthcoming - first we have to make it "clean and pretty!" The poor thing has been sitting, unused and unloved, for three years in a garage that is the equivalent of a barn, complete with mice sharing the cockpit of our car (we just discovered this).

*yuck* It's really a beaut, though and should "clean up nicely" *heh heh*

For our next trick we need to come up with a really great license plate!

Congrats on the Z!! Good luck coming up with a plate. I made mine simple.
