i wanna be a baller

i was just in the parking garage of my building with a coworker (heading to lunch at jettie's - yes!) and he was pointing out all of the big wig's cars from my office. when we got to one little porsche he told me to look at the license plate. so, naturally i did. it was a dc plate with just a number 17 with a box around it. what does this mean? well, let me explain it to you.

apparently there are about 100 numbered plates out there that are awarded to special vips. the lower the number is the more important the person is. in the case of this guy - his mom was the first african american on the dc council. he's apparently like a 10th generation washingtonian.

and this special plate allows you to park wherever you want without getting ticketed and/or towed. this would definitely come in handy if he wanted to go out in adams morgan - although he is married with kids. plus, with his super nice porsche i doubt he really does anything but valet his car.
