I think you are safe with that one, waaaaay too esoteric for most of us...

Sorry to frazzle the board...I didn't mean that it had anything to do with speed...just that it's a personalized plate and therefore potentially easier to remember (for someone who isn't happy with my driving) than a mix of numbers and letters.

The word can have a number of meanings, but where I grew up it meant "a little something extra." So for me this car is something I certainly don't have to have, but it's nice to have it at this point in my life (and after some of the things I've gone through in recent years).

So, yes...it's very different than what else you might see on a GT3 but it has a lot of meaning for me.

Oh, didn't read back far enough. I think my black/yellow "DAB OPPO" plate may help with color choices at this point

-yellow car with pccb black wheels
-jet black car with pccb
-white car with black wheels and pccb
