You like to argue. This thread is about OP's vanity plates yet you had to bring up Virginia radar detector laws.
To you, any difference of opinion is considered an argument. That shows intolerance. If there is a "problem" it lies with your being rankled by my opinion.

Aspects of the state of Virginia are part of the discussion in this thread and I'm stating my opinion. The traffic laws there are irregular (hence their singular, unconstitutional law about radar detectors, contrary to the other 49 states) and Virginia license plates DO have a weird typeface, unlike any other state's plates. IMO it's a weird state and I wouldn't want to live there.

That's not an argument. It's merely an opinion.

I hope you love the plate, btw. We gotta love what we drive. Hell I spent at least 10 or 20 bucks on stickers this summer! Haha.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Vanity plates are 1000 euro in Belgium.
(only payable once though)

That equates to enough CNG for 30.000 km - or nearly 19.000 miles .

I'll pass !

To me it's worth it personally. There are some things in this world that I find worth spending a few bucks on. A custom license plate with words I will not utter here, that will bring a smile to my face, is worth it.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the fee is. It's priceless.

Don't know. I suppose I'll find out soon enough though. Even if that's not on there, I've wanted a way to explain the car to more people without talking to them.

I'm sure a lot of people on here have people staring and taking pictures of their cars too, right?
