Vanity license plates are one of those things that make me wonder not only how they were so aptly named but why they would be so important that people would pay more for them not once,but over and over each time they are renewed. I guess it is one of those things suitable for the phrase "Not my circus,not my monkeys". Of course there are countries where it is even more important than it is in the US. In China 8 is considered the luckiest number so it only stands to reason that people would go to great lengths (and expense) to have the coveted 8's on their license plates. One man after paying more for his license plate of "88888" ($149,000) than he had paid for his truck didn't find the luck he had hoped for as he was stopped eight (there's that 8 again!) times the first day because the police were certain the plate was bogus.
