On my way home from work yesterday, a car from a side street pulled out in front of me very slooooooowly. I hate that shit, because I was forced to slow down really quickly. It was a gigantic geriatric-looking Cadillac, so I assumed it was some old Grandma on her way to the beauty parlor or Gramps on the way to the VFW. Not so. It was a guy of about 19. Whatever, maybe he was given the car, or maybe that’s just his thing. Then I saw the license plate. In Alabama, we have what’s called a “Helping Schools” plate that is about $15 more than a normal license plate, and that money allegedly goes to help schools. It’s usually a favorite of the soccer moms, but maybe this guy has a soft spot for education. Then I read the plate….

I nearly shot my coffee out of my nose. Not quite, pal. Better luck next time.
Classy. Not enough people try to create custom plate matchings like that.
I have a friend in New Hampshire that planned to get the nature plate (in NH it has a moose) and get it customized with “IM HUGE!” But then he found out that would cost about $80 a year.
Yeah, in Alabama, it’s only an extra $50 (I think…could be less), so every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets a customized plate around here. One of the worst I’ve seen recently was a gigantic Expedition (and I’m sure you know how much I like those) with a tag that said “NDEBT.” Last I checked, it wasn’t something you brag about.
