When you want to sum yourself up neatly in real life, you hand someone a business card. To do so online, you've got 280 characters to play with in your Twitter bio. But on the road, nothing makes a statement about what other drivers can expect as much as your license plate.
Sure, getting a vanity license plate can come off as a little, well, vain. But they can also be fun and silly, and a great way of putting a smile on the face of the poor schmuck stuck in traffic behind you. Plus, since you've only got 7 letters to play with, and can't use a plate that's already occupied, coming up with a clever and original one can be a real brainteaser.
