Great read thanks for rehashing the thread i never saw it before , as a new owner of a Nighmist blue Parchment 67 gt500 its definitely been on my radar & one of the reasons i sought out that color combo.I actually just tried to get that same plate # VRD 389 through the CA Dmv but it's not available , i guess they don't reissue them or some one already grabbed it.Even tried for a couple other combo's like BLULADY & MOJORSN & LIZRDKG but everything was taken so just going with a black CA plate random 3 letters & 3 #'S
