Oh, Puh-LEASE!

This is a special message to the driver -- no, the owner (just in case they are not one and the same) of the 2010 Lexus that was in front of me on the way to work. That is, specifically, the 2010 Lexus with the license plate 1 LEXUS.

Did it occur to you that putting LEXUS on the license plate is a dead give-away that this is the first luxury car you've ever been able to afford? Are you so excited about your new car that you are willing to advertise to the world that you've just recently traded up from a 15-year-old Chevy?

Well, good for you getting that big new job with the big new paycheck, but this is Michigan, sweetie. As the last one in, you'll be the first one out when they downsize, and you'll be selling that car back to Lexus of Lansing and heading for the used car lot.

I hope driving to job interviews in a 1998 Ford with 1 LEXUS on its license plate will be as embarrassing to you then as your pretension should be now.
