   I can say that I know you, 610-Slug, and I am vouching for you.  I couldn't imagine you (of all drivers) violating HOV restrictions!  I appreciate the many, many rides you have given me (especially in the evenings when you obviously didn't even need to pick up slugs because HOV restrictions would be lifted by the time you get to the 14th Street bridge), but you make that stop anyway on 14th Street and you do take as many of us slugs that will fit in your car.  Thank you for picking me up, you have saved me from countless long, boring rides on the bus (not to mention money).

	Well....I _AM_ the "610-SLUG." It is a 2000 Ford Taurus and I'm damned proud of it! I drive slugs just about everyday, picking up for 14th Street (or wherever the majority is headed) around 8:10am at the Mine Road lot and then picking up again around 5:40pm at 14th & G St. downtown. I take as many people as are willing to cram into my car, and only wish that I could take more people when there are so many waiting, especially since I pick up/drop off near the end of the HOV restrictions. Meanwhile, I have never, and will never VIOLATE HOV! Anyone who knows me will vouch for this. There is almost nothing that makes me as upset as those people that DO violate, and I am NOT a hypocrite! I'm glad that people like my license plate and they can check me out at: www.610slug.com or www.fassler.com Hope to see you and give you a lift soon! --Mike (a.k.a. 610 SLUG) quote: Originally posted by RoadRunner [br] quote: Originally posted by dkerley [br]I have seen one that reads: "610 Slug" and he seems to be the driver most times. Dina I, too, have seen this "610 SLUG" black car and once as the lone occupant of his vehicle before 6pm! That's why it would suck sometimes to have a vanity plate 'cause people will tend to remember you when you falter.

	Actually he said "slug and/or commuter specifc [sic] tags/plates." Thus, hybrids and other clean-fuel vehicles seem tailor-made, since all the plates noted here relate specifically to commuting. quote: Originally posted by Bob [br]Something is strange here.

	I fantasize about the day when hybrids won't be allowed in the HOV and the hybrids will be stuck in traffic in the regular lanes with these cutesy plates like "ME 4 HOV!" Bob

	Well Bob, it seems that just about the only HOV related vanity plates I've seen are on "hybrids" proclaiming their "HOVness"
