My little brother is what you might call rabid NASCAR fandom personified. He follows his favorite driver, ., with a zeal normally reserved for prophets and other religious figures. You can bet he’s huddled close to the TV on Sunday afternoons, catching every lap of the week’s big race in high definition.
When his birthday came around last year, I began exploring the market for novelty license plates. Even though my brother drives a five-year-old Chevrolet Monte Carlo, he keeps it in near-perfect condition and outfits it with every accessory known to man. Yet, his front bumper remained remarkably plain. To commemorate Little E’s salad days in the No. 8 Budweiser car, I gave my brother a corresponding novelty plate. Months later, he still comments that the plate was exactly what his car was missing.
