    Vanity Car Tag. I'm stumped

    i enjoy trying to decipher vanity car tags. Some are very creative but obscure. Saw this today and I can't make sense of it. "7SE7EN7". It was on a late model Corvette so maybe it is some kind of specific car reference? Dunno. SIL opined it might be a geocaching reference whatever that is. Tried substituting letters for the 7's but nothing made sense. Anyone?

    Looks like "777" to me. Isn't there a commercial jet called a 777? Could he be a pilot?

    I'd guess 777, as in "lucky". Probably couldn't get 7SEVEN7.

    Like above, my first thought was lucky number 7. Could be he likes slot machines "777", or a pilot as said.

    I think there is some casino card game that if get three 7's in a row you win a bunch of money. Forget the game but walking through to the restaurants there is a bunch of signs for it. If I remember correctly it is a common card game, but if you happen to get 3 sevens you win big.

    We would have bought tools, he bought a car. I'm glad people do, I like to look at corvettes, but they are horrible for hauling lumber.

    Thanks, I did not see that the letters with the middle 7 spelled seven. I can stop thinking about it now. Who knows what it's in reference to. Probably considers himself lucky or himself or car perfection.

    That's what I was thinking... Was it on a C7 Corvette?

    Maybe he is a 777 pilot that won the car playing slots and is a big fan of the band 7se7en7.
