I'm not saying that it's good or bad, just kind of interesting and bizarre.
The first day I had mine I got accosted by two teenage girls in a beat-up accord who wanted to talk about the plates. An elderly black woman at a gas station struck up a conversation about it and when I explained it she wished us luck (clearly she didn't get it).

The people waving on the way to and from Topeka broke up the monotony of the drive... which was appreciated.

What was not appreciated was the woman in the minivan who gave us the finger and shouted something before trying to cut us off.
