I like the license plate.

That's among my biggest pet peeves.

Rhode Island plates used to default to the owner's initials I believe. Fil is probably drunk right now, but maybe he'll chime in later.

Jesus, really? That's terrible.

It's extremely common in VA, because people are nitwits and vanity plates are too cheap.

The plate on the M3 ends in "FC". I assume that means it needs to be on Fernando's Turbo eventually.

I saw the following plate once... I think it gets an exemption to that pet peave...

It's becoming increasingly hard for me to ignore the new "Virginia is for Lovers" slogan on the bottom of VA plates.

The worst part? I saw one with the prefix VAG the other day.

I find myself having trouble not allowing my blood pressure to go up when I see the Virginia "Don't Tread on Me" plates. It's like people are self-identifying as simple minded assholes.
