Personal plate

Just looking for some feedback on some personal plates for my SS. They all mean something to me, but if they don't make sense on a plate when others see it, then what's the point? Our state allows 7 characters. All 3 of these are currently "available". Let me know what you think.

BTW I drive an IOM SS/RS convertible

1. CRUSSH (as in orange crush)
2. SSTMUL8
3. HEDRSSH. (as in top down, wind in the hair)

Thanks for the help

You have to go with what you like, but #2 & #3 are a little difficult in my book, at least for a quick read and comprehension to those who see it. But at the end of the day only you need to know what it represents and why it's special to you. My advice is toss some more around before pulling the trigger, unless you already love one of these ones.

Part of the fun of personal plates for me (from the viewer's perspective) is seeing how quickly I can decipher them - but I like them to be challenging.

I prefer #2 - "stimulate". It's clever but not a gimme. Plus, I like the SS in the front. Very good.

"Crush" (I got it without your explanation) - isn't your car red?

"Head rush" is too corny, IMO. Come on now.

Got it. I was thinking the color was "Inferno Red", but I looked it up and it is "Inferno Orange". My bad - but I'm color blind and it looks red to me.

"CRUSSH" fit nicely then.

NP Palmer. I'm color blind too and unless you see IOM in person, computer graphics usually render closer or red.

I have a question on your mods. What does an oil catch can do?

Not to put you off but I will refer you to this thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ighlight=catch which is just one of several on the subject.

If you go to the search function and enter catch can for the thread topic you will find tons of info on them. So many topics have been discussed over and over on this forum, it's good to use the search function first.
