Thanks for that (Spinal Tap) but, not having seen the movie, I’m still at a loss as to what they’re trying to convey. ---

That particular WI plate style (Sesquicentennial?) is really hard to read. I['m surprised that they approved it (or that anyone requested it). I was behind one the other day at a stoplight and was struck by what a visual mess they are. ---

I’m still amazed at the one I saw the other day, at a Popeye’s Chicken in San Jose, CA: **2GRL 1CP** I’m not kidding. I can’t \*believe \*they let that one through. I would have snapped a camera phone pic of it, but there was a guy sitting in it so I didn’t think it would be wise. ---
