I have always liked the idea of having a a vanity plate and being easily identifiable around town. I'm just too lazy to take the steps to make it happen. I also don't have a clever idea of what I would want my vanity plate to say. The obvious choice would be my nickname ever since childhood and my now Instagram handle, KiraLewWho.
