Ramble On

Yes, the boys of legendary band Led Zeppelin appear to be at it again. If traveling the world playing some of the best classic rock weren't enough, likely in a crush of complete boredom, the band members borrowed or created their own symbols for an album cover and have since been hawking them for the back of your ride.

Of course, that is a bit unlikely; not that the symbols are on the fourth album, but that they give a rip if you choose to past them on your bumper.

We prefer to imagine instead that the band have more going on in their lives. Case in point, Robert Plant's project with Alison Krauss was way more than a simple cameo. But quick cameos, like this one which included the other surviving members, keeps them rambling on.

Who Needs Beauty?

Remember when, after you got your first real job and made a little money, you bought your first car? It was almost like you could point to your ride as a symbol of your personal independence both financially and emotionally: you had arrived.

Well, some people take these opportunities to shout "alternative" types of independence. Yeah, we don't subscribe to such wide admissions of multiple partners, one-night stands and (undoubtedly) parasitic infestations. That's right ladies: when you're piling into this car at the end of a long night, just know that this beast may leave more than a broken heart.

Entertainingly, when someone stripped the "Y" off of this commuter's lascivious bumper braggery (look closely), the message that this predator is really trying to communicate got a little clearer.

Darth Reproductis

Looks like Anakin Skywalker's plan worked out after all. Following massive blood-letting, not to mention more intolerable wooing of Padme, it appears he gave rise to a whole gaggle of robotic sithlings. Was he cunningly evil or just darkly virile?

Like this commuter, perhaps he just wanted to fill his minivan so that he could slap some tailgate graffiti on the back. If that was the game, "well played sir, very well played."

Imagine having this many brooding, lightsaber toting siths under one roof? We are willing to bet that they go through babysitters like tissues, what with all of the force choking and related telekenetic tomfoolery.

Duplicative

We question whether to qualify this one as a "vanity" plate. Surely you can imagine a few declarations that are more vain. If not, who can forget such legendary braggery like Noel Gallagher's claim, as songwriter for Oasis, that the band's album was better than that of the Beatles (as in THE The Beatles). Don't know who Oasis was? Timeless, that band.

"Anyways" (one of our favorite incorrect usages), it seems like the owner of this vehicle should save themselves the registration and tag costs and simply purchase a new car.

Better yet, stop carting your beater around on a trailer. Some people have felt the recession pretty heavily; others most decidedly have not.

Schooled, Handicapped Style

If you thought a citation for parking in a handicap space was bad, think again. Forget Cajun style, this driver just went multiple sclerosis on your hiney.

We have never known anyone who has knowingly parked in the disabled spot. Though they are always closest to the entrance of wherever you're going, it's almost like the space is surrounded by a force field.

Not saying we're up for canonization: we have run a few red lights, parked illegally and even committed a little vandalism in our days. That said, we even feel guilty about using the handicapped stall when there's a line up in the bathroom. What if a disabled person just happened to need it while you're in there?
