RAFS TOY (my name is Rafael...) or ITSMINE, my gf suggested that because I was going on about how pissed I get when I see some young guy driving a bimmer, I always figure its his/her dad's. I'm in my 20s, so I reckon some people may think that about me, but ITSMINE would clraify things.

As far as personalized plates go, I currently have an alumni plate on my car and might go for a BMWCCA plate for the 1er. I'm really not much into the personalized saying thing, but I appear to be very much in the minority in the Washington DC area so YMMV. |

I just generally think that its not the best idea to hand over the keys to an expensive or powerful car to someone who may not be ready to drive it. |

As far as teens and nice cars go, there was a local high school that handed out a student award for the best car. It seems silly, but evidently it was a pretty big deal and the students acted like it was some great achievement. :frown: In the past year there have been several fatal car accidents with teenagers behind the wheel, but they are far from being the only offenders on the road. They are joined by the "Greenies" in hybrids that always seem to want to show me how fast their cars can go, the little women in huge SUVs that make up for their lack of stature by their aggressive driving, the lost tourists that think that backing up on the interstate because they missed their exit is a good idea, the local power brokers making deals on cell phones instead of watching where they are driving, and of course the diplomats with M cars that have immunity from tickets and jail time and think that they are starring in a BMW film. :biggrin: Anyway, the list goes on and on. So yes I've most certainly noticed, but I just try to deal with it without raising my blood presssure too much. :wink: |

You're right, the list goes on. Raging minivan drivers, madmen in raised F-350 trucks, people texting while driving, there were two guys smoking up in a Jeep behind me on Thursday... etc etc... :-)
There are a couple schools around here where you can find Maseratis in the parking lot. Must be nice hey? |

Then you must not be vain like the rest of us. In my state the fee for a vanity plate goes to a good civic cause and they are just, well, fun.
