Nice responses so far.
I like.
Ho, and I forgot to mention a few related to the powertrain:
5POINT0
15GT5.0 and
CYOTEGT
But none of these made it to the short list because I could just see every ricer import, and others, revving their engine next to me in traffic or stalking me on the highway to see if I would react.
An occasional side trip to Mexico is one thing but playing stupid games is another.

Sorry! Long day at work.
I like all the answers.
OK, you guys are pretty good because no one went with CRVNPNY.
That one was the first to be dropped because the Pony connotation is linked to the V6.
You know, Pony Package V6.
Then there were 3.
Sadly for a couple of you, the next one dropped was 15RBYGT.
Good guess though.
It was an appropriate name.
Dropped it basically because, in our collective opinions, it’s easy and obvious.
Like plates with the words SHELBY, SNAKE, BULLITT, BOSS and so on.
Mustang guys know what the cars are.
So the last two were actually difficult to chose between.
My wife got both and didn’t have a favourite.
She defaulted to my son and I.
My son liked CARVNGT.
I was literally back and forth until I stepped into the service NB office.

At the last moment, addressing the clerk at the counter I decided to go with WRKD4IT.
I thought it was different and unique.
So she checked if it was available...
I held my breath while she did.
It was NOT available.
Turns out it’s already taken in NB.
Who knew?
So by default, kind of, CARVNGT was the one.
I like to think it was meant to be or some kind of faith.
I could have gone with either one from the start.

Side note.
From the beginning, I wanted something related to the handling prowess of the car because it is it’s most prominent quality.
When I think of the car, the first words that come to mind are “Corner Carver”.
If NB plates had 8 digits, I would have gone with CRNRCRVR, hands down.
No others considered.
But with 7 digits, the closest I could get was CNRCRVR and I felt it looked a bit funny and vague.
I thought some people might think I have some link to the railroad with the first three letters being CNR, or something like that.
So I’m happy with CARVNGT.

Congrats on the new plate, too bad about WRKD4IT.
Service Ontario has a feature on their website where you can punch in the plate you want and check to see if it's been taken, which is pretty convenient, nothing worse than standing in line and running plate combos at the desk.
You still need approval for the plate from the committee that screens the letter/number combos to ensure it doesn't violate any standards or offends anyone.

Thanks.
That is a cool feature to have.
I understand Ontario is the province where personalized plates are the most popular per capita in the country.
I think I saw that in news before.
Yes, passing public scrutiny is a big deal and certainly not offending anyone is main consideration now.
Those cases have made news several times in recent years.

Yeah, I still remember this one
You ended up with a good choice that suits the car well Marc.

My exact thoughts.
It suits the car very well and my driving personality even better.
A win-win. ?

In Mike’s thread, Aftermarket, the subject of transportation and hauling cars came up a few weeks back.
I mused about the OE ramps for my trailer being too short to load my 2015.
During summer of 2020 I built some ramp extensions out of 2X10’s.
Was still not crazy about those.
A bit sketchy.
Trevor posted pics of his extra long ramps in Mike’s thread.
That got me thinking.
So I had longer ramps made of my own.
Originals are 3 feet long.
The new ones are 7 feet long, and I rigged a rack to hold them at the front of the trailer stacked one over the other on their side and they act as a fairing to protect the car.
Haven’t tried them out yet.
Way too many black flies and mosquitos out there to do so.
Will update when I do put them to the test.
The sheet of aluminium on the deck is my old front fairing.
It was removable.
