Does anyone know anything about those plates? You want to talk about wasting money, look it up and read about it.
They have auctions for license plates; plates with reiteration of digits (ie 444 or 55555) or single digits (ie 1 or 3) are the most. CNN has something on it last week where someone bought the "5" plate for something like a few million for his Bentley or other high-priced car. It's just stupid money. -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area.

Yeah I was watching an auction on TV for the lowest plates. I guess, the lowest plates are the best or the most respected.

Here is a quote from the dunkin donuts franchise website on the kind of money needed to buy one.
FAQ How much cash or liquid assets will I need? Some markets require a minimum number of units developed. If you are investing in the development opportunity for five Dunkin' Donuts® restaurant franchises, the minimum liquidity required is $750K; your net worth must be at least $1.5 million depending on the markets in which you will operate. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Actually these are all cars owned by a Sheik in the Middle East. He has a pretty big collection, and this is only a small portion of his collection. Not exactly sure what the "RRR" is for but, I think "Rich in Real estate Resources", as playr158 said before pretty much sums it up.
He's up there very high in the status, so he gets what he wants...... even multiple lisence plates that are the same(couple of the ones with the same numbers have diff tags though, like the rolls has a rolls specific tag motif with the numbers, the others are just common plates for the territory) This post has been edited by dabazied: Feb 22, 2008 - 12:11 AM -------------------- |

Dan, you posted a pic of a very rich Indian guy. I made a joke that, that same guy is probably the owner of my local Dunkin Donuts. The joke was that he is so wealthy, yet he pretends to be just a clerk working minimum wage, and looks at me funny when I don't throw my change in his tip jar. The joke rings true because most Dunkin Donuts are owned by Indian families with a minimum net worth of 1.5million dollars, yet they leave tip jars out and pretend like they are just minimum wage workers. Get it? Good... now lets move on. This guy is clearly a baller. Props to him. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Its more of a problem with our governments policies and our military actions. There are many reasons and its mainly hatred that's sprouted from many many years ago, maybe not even directly to that country but middle easterners(usually) are a very close knit people with each other(no matter how much they talk about each other that are from other countries/regions) Here's a question.... how many countries has the US sided against and actually followed through with military action against that had a mcdonalds in that country at the time? how bout a starbucks? this is all tied in with part of the bigger picture and the history and present in the region. -------------------- |
