Kinja'd!!!

Tonight, on a short, routine drive to Krispy Kreme to pick up donuts for my homeroom tomorrow, I spotted a vehicle with the Nebraska license plate, "1". I knew it had to be running around somewhere, and I had long wondered what kind of pricey ride I would see it on. Take a guess, Oppo, what kind of car do you think bore this coveted plate?

Check other people's comments to see who's narrowing it down.

EDIT: Axial got it, it was a silver Buick Park Avenue (non-Ultra).

You are very optimistic. Remember, in Europe, people pay extra for desirable plates. Here in NE, they're $30, no matter what it says.

You're thinking kinda on the right track. It was a generic sedan.

Doesn't mean there isn't a black market for selling the plates back and forth.

it was used as a fundraiser to build a scaled model of fenway sized for youth baseball. I did some site planning fro it but I dont think it ever went anywhere. The RedSox were on board with it. If it went thru, I would have been responsible for documenting the park for and drawing the construction drawings for the new mini park. I was really looking forward to getting to go all thru Fenway but it aparently failed.

Giving that it's NE, I'm going to say a GT500 or Camaro ZL1.

Edit: Second guess after reading the comments: 2000s Chevy Impala.

I will laugh if it turns out to be a LeSabre. So hard.

Fourth guess: Park Avenue. Certainly, it's not an Olds Aurora.

Actually, this is the perfect car to have a "1" plate on. No. 1 in giving no fucks!

Either generic or some other special interest, but not Husker.

If it's luxury you're looking for, I'd probably go for the new C-Class's beautiful new interior.

The ATS has that shitty touch screen anyway.
