I blogged yesterday about maybe getting a personalized plate, but I’ve already had a chance at one, it came on the CTBNL. David said I could keep it if I wanted and I thought about it, but in the end it was a personalized plate and he picked it personally, so it would have felt weird to keep it. My answer might have been different if I had thought it up without any outside influence, tried to get it for the Emperor, but couldn’t because it was already taken by David.
You sort of have to be a Miata enthusiast or a reader of Jalopnik to get the meaning of the plate. Maybe it did start with the Jalopnik piece, but the phrase it represents is all over the car related internet now and has spawned at least a half dozen Blipshift T-shirts (of which I own a couple.)
