Vanity Plates Arrived.....

[Zooks527]

I just noticed something strange. In every other thread, the majority of pics have the license plates photo-shopped out. Yet none in this thread do.

I have never understood the "Photoshop out the plates!" contingent. Are they worried someone is going to track them down for a comment on the web?

She has a name!

Clever plate. I find it interesting that we frequently refer to our cars using the female gender. My daughter even named my former ‘68 GTO “Betsy” and she cried when I sold “her” and “she” got hauled away on a flatbed. I told her Bestsy was going to be resurrected and back on the road someday, but she still cried. Does anyone know if there is a historical reasoning for the female reference. In the old days cars were often unpredictable and required a lot of attention - maybe. I won’t hazard any other guesses and risk belabeled a sexist or called politically incorrect. We do respect and treat them well as we would any female, right? Do any lady owners name their cars? I recall a movie with a car named “Christine” but we won’t go there. I personally never use the word “love” when referring to an inanimate object such as a car or house, but accept that others do. Just food for thought... Bruce

I like that one a lot.

Ships, as far back as the beginning of the British Navy, have been referred to as "She".

People have been stalked for less.

We don’t live in the same world in which our parents grew up.

That being said, come at me, bro.

Do you need a count?

Heres mine!!

 

[CAL Captain]

Heres mine!!

That's going to look good in the crew lot!

I wish I could get something like that out here. Instead, I settled for an obscure movie reference.

Heres mine!!

I still can't believe that was available. You got REAL lucky. Looks great!

Also, still surprised no one got JJZ 019. (as opposed to JJZ 109)
And hey there's always ZZJ 109, lol.

Somehow I suspected that gorgeous car would never see the airport lot!

The car is very photogenic....It has some really nice lines that work with the light.....So I get to enjoy two passions at the same time...Photography and cars....

Here is another one taken the first week I got it, in the early morning. Really tight shot but really shows how the lines work with the light.....

Thanks Voo Doo. No, I'm quite happy with the stock Bullitt, plus USD21,000, so with tax CAD31,000, makes the Steeda Bullitt a CAD95,000 car.

Didn't get to a GVMA meeting. Weather crapped out and it is a fair weather car. Only driven it about 7 times since mid October. I actually emailed them in September with a few questions, and I never got a response (they must have too many members). So I may head to a meeting in the Spring just to check it out.

You've luckily missed our "El Nino" winter. Nine days of snow in February and counting. Going to be cold until at least the first week of March, but not expecting normal temps until at least the middle of the month.

Cheers
