We travel a lot by car or should I say by mini-van. I’m also travel by car for my job. I see a lot of vanity plates. In Virginia these plates only cost $10 extra, so there’s a bunch of them. In my opinion, there are only three reasons to use a vanity plate. they are:
- promote family
- allegiance to your sports teams
- devotion to your university/college/juco
That’s it! other than that, there’s absolutely no reason to have a vanity plate. Some of you may disagree and that’s ok. C’mon, if you have to use your license plate to show the rest of us how educated, rich or what type of title you have at your job, you are about as shallow as Nancy Pelosi’s opinions are on national security. Granted, there are some that are funny. However most are about as narcissistic and self-indulgent as Paris Hilton in a mirror factory. Then there are those that I just don’t get. We play a game when we travel, we try to figure some of them out and many times we can’t. Why would anyone pay extra for a vanity plate that only they can figure out, doesn’t make sense to me, go figure. Here are some I’ve seen recently, see if you can figure some of them out:
02BEME
10SNE1 (Tennis, anyone)
2BLND4U (too blonde for you. I hope it doesn’t mean “blind for you”)
AU DIGR (Gold Digger)
ICULAFN
IMA10
Let me know if you find any that are worse …
