Rejected License Plates In Illinois

At the time, my dream car was a 1968 Chevy Camero convertible. It would have a killer stereo system to crank tunes. To make it really cool, I wanted a vanity license plate. I was such a big Heavy Metal fan back in those days, I wanted something like TT THRASH 1.
When I finally bought my own car, it wasn't anything like I dreamed of. It was a Toyota Camry with over 100,000 miles and the manufacturer's stereo. It didn't even have a tape deck. I still wanted that vanity license plate but when I found out how much extra it cost, I passed on the idea.
