Sorry about your dad.

I have a cancer related vanity plate "race for cure", in this case for those that are still battling it.

Dell, first of all I must tell you that I'm sorry for your loss. My father died 2 months ago due to a brain cancer... so I can understand how you do feel.

I voted for your father's tribute


Best regards from Spain

Joaquin

5. F117#251 --->A tribute to my father's (who lost a battle recently to cancer) last plane and tail number. It's also my DE/Club Race number.

6. Standard Issue

I'm not itching to get a vanity plate but figured I'd look into it as it's only $30 for my plates.

I agree, sometimes they are a little much. Just toying with the idea. It's just a weekend car anyway.



Fantastic

Joaquin, great to hear from you mi hermano!

Very sorry to hear about your loss as well. Thank you for the kind words. Seems like we all are affected by cancer at some point in our lives

Dell...#5 for sure. Lost my dad to brain cancer the end of January. We ended up doing in home hospice with him, so I got to spend a lot of time with him his last six months. He never cared for his own well being...but he did ask me weekly when I was going to get my a$$ to VIR. Now back in the saddle and looking or a faster car..

Damn Ted! So sorry to hear. That is just horrible. Great that you got to spend so much time with him. What a blessing.

By the way, aren't we always looking for a faster car? What's on your radar???

Self employed Ph.D., building large causal models for clients to help them better understand and manage their workforce. But it won't fit on a license plate.
