Just got my Z06

[BLUBYU]

Well, after several phone calls and countless hours surfing the web, I found my car .... it's a 2003 Electron Blue Z06 with black interior. The car is totally stock and has only 3500 miles on it. I may have paid a bit too much (37K), but a 3K mile Electron Z06 carries a premium price. I pick it up Friday and can't wait !!!!!
.... now I need to come up with a cool vanity license plate ....

My best wishes to you BLUBYU!!!! I hope you have many years of enjoyment with the Z06.

I also think you did well with the price too. Thats about what Z06's in my area are going for with that mileage.

Again, congrats and good luck!!!!!!

Cool. Now I know who to call the next time I stay over in Cincy! Enjoy!

Congratulations Blu!

37k sounds pretty good to me, for a Z06 with miles that low. That's basically brand new.

How many letters does your state allow on vanity plates?

Tammy,

We can have up to seven letters ...

I tried BLUBYU, BLUEBYU ... they are already taken. ... sux

Darn, you wouldn't think they'd be taken. Sounds like an original to me.

How 'bout BLEWBYU ????

Hi Pat, Welcome to CAC! Sweet deal on the Z06! Good luck with the new toy! I think the price would be average for a car with low miles? Anyway who cares, it's your's now just enjoy it and don't look back! I know what you are saying cause I just bought my ZR-1 this past Dec. I questioned myself about the price and if I could have done better. I just told myself I did the best I could & got what I felt was the best I could find for me at that moment! A better deal I'm sure will come along, they always do. You saw your deal and took it cause it fit what you wanted. Be happy & drive the wheels off her! That's what I'm doing with mine!

Save the wave. Tom

[BLUBYU]

I can get IBLUBIU or BLUEUBY... what do you think?

 

[Chrisr]

I like "IBLUBIU". It'll make people stop and think about it. Just my 2 cents.

 

[MsSchroder]

I can get IBLUBIU or BLUEUBY... what do you think?

I like them both.
How about BLUUOFF :L

 

[Z_OH_6]

You might even try: ZBLUBYU or BLUZBYU.

Well, there is my personal fave.... (which is available in OH, it seems)

Now granted, this is the one I got for my nicely lifted and mud-tired Jeep Wrangler, but I suppose it is pretty attitude-laden whatever it's on:

That OH plate website is great. Can you believe that here in socialist IL, you have to send in a postcard with 3 choices for vanity plates, and the High Minister of License Plate Choices will decide which, if any, of your requests are acceptable, and will return a verdict to you in 4 to 6 weeks. 4 to 6 weeks! After which, you can send your funds back to the aforementioned il duce and he will try to get your plates to you in another 4 to 6 weeks. Another example of the fine IL bureaucracy in "action." I wonder sometimes why I still live here...

 

[BLUBYU]

I made it !!!

Well, I got it yesterday !!! I flew up to Chicago yesterday morning and drove it back to Cincinnati .... watching my rearview mirror the whole time for that nasty snowstorm scheduled to hit Chicago yesterday afternoon. I made it home with time to spare. 4hrs 30min from west side of Chicago to Cincinnati ... not too bad.

I did get to experience the fuel guage issue where the guage goes to E all of a sudden. I stopped, filled the tank again and everything was fine. I guess I will take it to the dealer and get the sending units replaced since it should still be under warranty.

The thing is like being in an F14 ... light years away from my 95 LT1 6 speed I sold to get this one.

 

[MsSchroder]

You got it just in time!
Excellent news... congratulations.

As a "gun guy", Illinois does not have the best rep in the circles I run in.
