     Why is it again that everyone's mentioning their license-plate numbers?
     Oh, well. Here goes:
     MOST INTERNATIONAL: I've got a friend here in Indiana who bought
Japanese-market badges for his blue 1994 R and ordered the vanity plate
EUNOS.
     MOST FUN: I saw a guy this week with a plate reading IB KRUSN.
     MOST FUNCTIONAL: Personally, as an "enthusiastic" driver, I can't see
saddling myself with an easily read and memorable vanity plate. To me, the
perfect license plate would be one visually confusing enough so that angry,
fist-waving farmers can't read it as it recedes into the distance, and
sufficiently difficult to remember that county cops can't call it in
accurately on their radios.
     I favor the digital system, employing the maximum number of digits:
     The plate reads 0110101.
     Or is it 1001101?
     No, wait. It's 0101101.
