Wow! Vanity plates are getting expensive!
 
$14 million for a vanity plate?

Folks like him are simply in a different world than the rest of us...
I wonder if Saeed Khouri would be willing to sponsor my daughter's college education.

Tell me again why spend US $ to have troops there to defend our freedom? They obviously can afford to hire their own army.

Proceeds from the auctions go to a rehabilitation center for victims of traffic accidents.

Can't argue with that. Good on him.

Let the Arabs (and everyone else, for that matter) fight their own wars and fund them, too.

I guess using all that oil money to rehab accident victims is better than them using the money to fund more radicals.

If you have ever driven in Dearborn you will know why they need so much money for this cause.;)

:D

Except that I wouldn't spend $100 on a license plate.

My name is Saeed Khouri! Plese stop picking on me, and mind your own business. I can spend as much as I want for anything I want.

Heck, all I have to do is increase the cost of 1 barrel by .10 USD and voila......all is back to normal.

heh heh heh

During the 2007 auction season, the highest price ever paid for an American car at auction: Carroll Shelby's personal 1966 Shelby Cobra Super Snake that sold for $5.5 million.

Not sure about imports?:)
