Default web site of vanites

Does anyone wish to display my list of Corvette vanity plate readings/sayings on a web site? It lists the reading and state that issued the plate. I have them on an email. There are 15,000 or so acquired over 22 years at car shows, in magazines, personal emails, pc lists.

Link us up, Bob! Your collection is legendary!!

Hang on... I just re-read and realized you're looking for a host; you don't have a website. Neither do I, Bob. That's why I hang around here...

Bob,

I don't have a website but if no one comes forward in the near future we'll put our heads together and see if we can come up with an alternative idea.

BTW... are they listed or arranged in a spreadsheet format or something similar?

Microsft word is the main list and a copy is in email form.
And of course there are addtions on a regular basis. Then whatever the update would entail if indeed there is an update.
Search Corvette vanity plates About.com or such has a list of Ariz only plates which is couple years old.

If someone, anyone, everyone would just list the fact that I have the list on their site it would be much appreciated. List my email address and I would forward them the list.

Couple adjustments needed first.
The column lines are offset in spots. The lines go down so many entries and then is offset 1/4 inch and so on thruout.

There are some duplicates which I do know how to rectify. Yeah Yeah

Default A concern...

I've never been comfortable posting license plates.

When I take photos, I very carefully go into a photo editor and white out the plates that are visible, and possibly readable.

I worry that some person of low morals might use the information of the plates and states for purposes that would make the owners of the listed plates rather unhappy.

I guess anything is possible. There is always several versions of a situation. Most likey if they want U they will find U.
License plate collectors would like 4 plates registered to each car, so they could have 2. Corvette drivers only want one and most would be happy with none.

Number could be embossed in the rear window and behind the grille that would light up when the law would shine a special lite on it.

Default What if they're behind you?

Well, if they're behind you, then I can't do a thing about that.

But, I can do something about the photos I take.

And, I feel, if I don't do something where I can, then it's my fault. Maybe not my responsibility, but my fault.

If you know where to look, and I don't, with a license plate you may as well post your home address, name and the ID number from your license. With that, all they have to do is watch for their opportunity.

Call me crazy, call me paranoid, but I say, you aren't paranoid if they're really out to get you.
