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

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