This, along with the vanity plate thread, forces me to admit my inner 
secret vanity plate.  If I ever get one of my dream cars, a Jensen 
Intercepter, the plate I'll get is HWY STAR, assuming it's not already 
taken.

I don't think I could bring myself to paint the car purple, though.  
Somehow I just can't picture an Intercepter in purple.
