Same body/generation as his was.

I’d prefer it to what passses for ‘Bronco’ the last few model years.

I’m surprised that NJ would let that vanity plate on the road.

You can’t find them here in the Northeast anymore because they all rusted away. They were NEVER a reliable vehicle. I don’t know about the new Bronco’s, but they didn’t have a very high bar to be better than OJ’s Bronco.

Actually the Bronco was never OJ’s. It belonged to Al Cowling.

And Al was driving it with OJ in the back during the low speed chase.

I think it all depends on which MVC employee is reviewing one’s application for a vanity plate. I used to know a guy who requested “Ifugao” as his NJ vanity plate. The Ifugao were/are an indigenous tribe in Northern Luzon, but he was told that his request was rejected because it was an “attempt at obscenity”.

He had to send them several pages of documentation (and a new application) in order to prove that “Ifugao” was not an attempt at obscenity.

I guess there is nothing today that does not offend someone.

The fact that the police were caught “improving” their case by planting evidence introduced reasonable doubt and the jury acquitted him.

Even if he was convicted, I would not be offended, it’s funny

I seriously doubt it’s a human doing the screening.

Twenty five years ago, the State of NJ definitely didn’t utilize AI, so it was definitely a person who processed his application. Even now, with their ancient, outdated servers, I tend to doubt whether they utilize AI.

This isn’t what we consider AI. Word recognition has been around for years. Windows 2005 has been able to do a pretty decent job of it.

Like no CarPlay, Blind-spot detection, giant screen on the dash, or 30-series tires on 24” wheels over a foot wide?

Waaahh wahhh..

Nah, more like noisey interior, lousy ride, poor handling, floppy frame, plasticky interior, bad seats, slow acceleration and lousy fuel economy.

It’s all subjective.

The way I drive, the only thing I might notice is the cheap interior.

Not subjective at all.

All these attributes can be ojectively measured and compared to the measurements of competing vehicles.
