    Default stupid vanity plates

    so i was waiting on the stop light today. then, suddenly this spanking new ford mustang pulled beside me with "dub" wheels and a big 'ol "dub" sticker in his rear window, and a super loud exhaust. i looked over and there were two twenty something guys looking cool, of course, their car had the loudest exhaust in the stoplight. when the light turned green, the mustang pulled away fast and i saw the plate it shows LALO GT. "hmmm that should be LOLA GT", i said to myself. i just laughed until my tears came out, and just hope they don't encounter old school race enthusiasts to tell them that their vanity plate have a typo. that would be so embarassing.

    Vanity plates are lame, even though I've had them.

    You can't make fun (or make yourself look like an ass) of a random group of numbers and letters,

    i like my plate... just one, all numbers. attention is thereby attracted to the car itself, not to a piece of state-issued jewelry

    Private/Vanity plates i can live with, it's the loud exhausts I can't cope with. It's always 1 litre Citroen Saxo's and Vauxhall Corsa's with stupid stickers in the windows and on the front wings and really, really oversized exhaust backboxes. There should be a law defining the maximum size of the pipe as ratio of its engine capacity. No more than 1" pipe diameter per litre should do it.
