Plates

How corny are personalized license plates? If you have one, sorry if I've offended you. People love to put their names on their license plates. Here's a news flash people, nobody cares! Maybe, at most, there are three people in the world who care if you drive by them. And, those are the people that are most likely to be sitting in your passenger's seat. Save your money, and your dignity!

Even worse than those self-named plates, are the ones that have someone else's name on them. My favorite Major League Baseball player is Jose Reyes. I would not be caught dead riding in a car that has a license plate depicting his name and number. But, there are people out there who feel that is necessary. They actually take the time and money to make this happen.

So, as you can imagine, when I saw a "JETER2" license plate today, I got thinking. Really, you like Derek Jeter that much? I bet you Derek Jeter doesn't even like Derek Jeter that much! Granted if he did like himself enough to want that personalized license plate, he couldn't even get it. It isn't even an option for him because this fan, felt the need to declare their love for Derek Jeter by driving around a Chevy Malibu with a his name on the plates. I highly doubt Jeter is driving around a Chevy Malibu, and hanging around upstate New York, so this is just an obsessive fan.

Do you think Jeter would be flattered by the plate? I think he should be scared!
