Not a vanity plate, but how does a Department of State vehicle get repossessed?

those are people who would willingly work for a president. clearly they’re not great at making decisions

I was always under the impression that vehicles tagged like that were owned federally, like the Department of State, in this instance. I ended up having to jump through so many extra hoops and verifications to secure that account, because you can’t exactly check off a federal tag in a system with only 50 states and Canada’s provinces. For what it’s worth, there was no debtor listed on it either, it went straight to DoS.

I'd work for the money and benefits. It's not like I'd have the power to change anything here or there.

Couldn’t have been that great if the department as a whole had vehicles up for repossession. Normally, they buy in fleets, financing was a sign of the times for them, I guess.

Dumbasses live in all levels of our society. And as uncle Sam pays for their car, who cares if they leave it somewhere and take a flight home instead. Or they just parked it stupid. You'd know better.

Ain’t that the truth. That’s one of the first things I learned about that business… it doesn’t matter what you do for a living, I’ve seen people from all walks of life on the run sheets.

I don't have a picture but I've seen a Dodge Avenger adorned in Marvel stuff. I can't recall exactly, but I think the plate said Assemble or something like that. I saw it twice on separate occasions on my commute home. I'm not consistent with my route or time so seeing the same car twice is surprising.

At some point when I get it road worthy again, I intend to get my Mustang's plate to read 325 HP as a reference to Ford's false HP claim that got the line recalled.

The first and favorite car I've owned.

I never really got into Warhammer 40k, but the Orcs "da red wunz go fasta" theme was always cool. I'd made myself a custom bumper-sticker with that, to go along with the WAAAGH plate.

so, is he saying he has a great wife, or that the car is his wife?

Maybe the driver is the great wife?

Or maybe they're looking for a great wife?

So many possibilties.
At first I thought it was his wife’s car and he got it for her to make up for something he did wrong, but I eventually caught up with him at a red light and saw it was a 70+ year old man, so I’m assuming his great wife bought it for him

'Smut As ID' is the only thing I can think of that'd read right. Unfortunately porn magazines don't count as proof of residency.
