why do people pay for these plates???
Everyone knows what vanity plates are. You get a new Z car and get
vanity plates that say Z ONE or something. But every so often I see a car, lets say a NISSAN, where the owner has shelled out the bucks for a vanity plate that says NISSAN. Or they have a Ford F-150 and get plates that say F-150. What's the point???? -- Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts: "What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789 |

The few I do are usually the person's name spelled out somehow creative or Dr. (something). I have noticed more cars with stickers of either the make/model on the upper part of the front windshield. In Michigan this is usually seen on the Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Pix. I did see someone with a canary yellow Ford Ranger that had a Honda sticker though.. |

I was behind a car that had the license plate 111-AAA the other day (or was it AAA-111?)...It was on a Cavalier (or something similarly uninteresting). I'm still wondering if that was a vanity plate. |

Well, two old sayings come to mind on the reasoning for people getting vanity plates period, and ones like the tags you describe: "A fool and his money are soon parted." and "There is a sucker born every minute." |
