Brutally accurate take from my observations of social media behavior, before I deleted them all.

Not board related, but something I wonder about every day when I'm out driving:
Why do so many people use the license plate frames that the car dealership sends them? In many states, doing so means that, at some point, your actual license plate arrives in the mail, you take off the dealer frame to remove the temporary tags, attach the permanent tags and then willingly affix what is basically an advertisement for a car dealership to their vehicle.
Do that many people have strong positive feelings for the business that sold them their car? In Southern California, it looks like at least half of the drivers on the road are using dealer license plate frames, instead of spending a few bucks to get something else (I have a plain black frame on my plates, personally) or just using nothing at all.
