Default License plate questions from a Chicago reporter

Hi,

I'm working on a story about vanity/personalized license plates: why do people get them, what do they mean, etc? If you have one and you'd be able to talk to me for a few minutes, please let me know. It's kind of a fun, light-hearted story about license plates in Illinois.

Thank you!

Default Maybe if you included an E-mail link.

Some people don't like to give out info on certain boards etc.

I have one on my antique vehicle, & it's all about personalization.

Default Vanity plates = keyed car.

I prefer the Walter Payton Donor plates.

Default Re: License plate questions from a Chicago reporter

I would like to speak on the phone instead of via email ... it's just easier that way. If you don't want to give a phone number online, email me at jarobe1@hotmail.com.

And do people with vanity plates get their cars keyed more than others? Is that something you have to worry about?

Default Are you serious?

I'd guess that at least 10%, perhaps more, of the plates in Chicago are vanity plates and you think they've all been keyed?
