My father in law was a great guy, but he would always buy Park Avenues with fake convertible tops and the gold trim package. One day I had to drive one of them to the BMW Store in Cincy to pick up some parts. I parked over a quarter mile away so that I wouldn't be seen driving it.

Why do people do this crap? A nice symmetric centered licence plate is no good, I rather mount it so it looks like a wart on my bumper.
