I thought I was going crazy, but it is true: Virginia has a lot of vehicles with custom or “vanity” license plates.
It is the language of the license plate, and no people in America speak it more fervently than those in Virginia, where 1.4 million cars — nearly one in five — sport a personalized plate. In almost every other state, vanity license plates are a diversion for a relative few. But in the Old Dominion, the practice has crossed from a fad to a way of life, a quirky part of what it means to be a Virginian.
