Say it with…license plates?!

We've seen the "I'm proud to be…" bumper stickers that many American cars sport these days. But, who would have guessed that you can tell when a Lithuanian is driving a car by simply reading the license plate.

During the July 2000 Lithuanian Folk Dance Festival in Toronto, one of the most interesting parts of the day was cruising in the parking lots and scoping out the creative Lithuanian license plates.

If you had a question as to what geographic location the driver preferred, you would have seen...

How about a name?

Is it mom or sister at the wheel?

If you're a “marksman” on a “horse”, these might not be very easy prey...

	“Shark”
	“Bear”

Road rage wouldn't occur if everyone would drive around with "I love…" plates as this one. Or you could try to "catch" the one at right!

Keep an eye out for those Lithuanian license plates. If you see one that speaks for itself, send it along, and we'll "park" it in Bridges!
