BWAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAA !!!!!!!

Can afford personalized license plate but "rock"ing the black plastic window secured with wood blocks ...

I've actually seen this car parked in downtown Houston several times and the custom window is not new.

What I'm wondering does the personalized plate refer to the car or what was used to break the driver's window?

Just another mod, like many others, perhaps the owner considers it an improvement

I think the plate describes what you're throwing at him. Oh, to be better than everyone else.

Jeeeeeez, if you can't see the humor in the post then you need to loosen up a tad.

If you had any idea what personalized plates cost in Texas you would understand the irony.

I bought a used window for $50 or so and installed it in less than 20 minutes. This car deserves better than this.

No idea why the car's window has not been fixed, but hate to see a Vette in that condition.
