Some like those low number plates here in NY too.I once did electricial work at a meat packing plant, the owner had a Porsche,the license plate "Meat 1".
I don't care for vanity plates myself,it's just a government issued ID,the less obivious the better.
I have a set of very nice original 1937 NY commercial plates,never did register them for my 37 truck, I like the beat normal issue plates,more truck like
