I suppose that I should show my plates as well.  I have had these for about,
ohhhh, 3 years now.  It was a Christmas present from my girlfriend.  I will
say that all of the above that was mentioned is true for me as well.  It's a
funny feeling when you look in your rear-view mirror and see people pointing
and smiling.  Kind of makes you feel good.  I personally didn't like the
sound of LEGOMAN when I registered the plates, so I did this:

I like the sound of that!  :-)
