After thinking it through, and as delivery of my Taycan GTS is getting close, I have decided to take the plunge and reserve a private (vanity) plate, for the following reasons:
1. the car will be registered in Belgium, and any available combination of up to 8 letters and number can be reserved...

Cars are very different now compared to 25 years ago, and I was blown away by the handling...
