Haven"t yet worked out a vanity licence plate, yet for it, but the following possibilities are on the table already:

"NOBODY"


"PARVENU"


"U WISH"



And an old Ron Cobb bumper sticker: "STARVATION IS GOD"S WAY OF PUNISHING THOSE WHO HAVE NO FAITH IN CAPITALISM"

If you want to have a vanity plate like that, you'd better make sure you have good comprehensive insurance. You'd get keyed a lot and tally a LOT of door dings, I'll bet!

F-Madoff would get your car keyed? I think you'd get a decent number of sympathetic or understanding nods....

Slap that on with a nice big Republican sticker and it would be perfect for CA.


All the free trade hippies would love it, perfect Berkley car.
