Why would anyone want a personalized plate, its easier to remember if you gotta bounce from a sticky situation.

Tesla folks love them to show their superiority!

I notice most if not all expensive cars around me don't have one either. They must know. The minute I graduated, my wife said, "it's time you took your license frame off."

yea you're a special kind of selfish if you buy one of those and then drive everywhere at exactly the speed limit

it was great if i was running a bit late to work... people would move over so quickly after i aggressively pulled up behind them lmao

also i can't lie it never got old when someone did go to pass me, and them always looking in to see if it was a cop or not

i only got the idea to get one after my hooligan friend picked one up, after getting a few rides in it i concluded it had the highest comedy per dollar ratio of any car

Sounds like we could use some more of those Crown Vics on the road. Too many speeders who think the road is theirs.
