That's awesome! Is that a Missouri plate? It's difficult to clearly zoom in.

Lol! This is awesome.

The fact that it’s a Corolla seems too good to be true

Your comment sent me down the rabbit hole and I confirmed that MO plate 'VTSAX' is indeed unavailable. Well done fellow BH!

The funny thing is that VTSAX doesn't hold any Toyota stock.

Hmm, if I take the marginal cost of a vanity plate, assume I save it instead, and then compound that over 30 years . . . .

I’m a bit skeptical that a true Boglehead would pay extra to have a personalized license plate. Seems a bit like frivolous spending…

VTIAX would work too. Seems like VTSAX should be a license plate on the back of a Ford or Chevy.arcticpineapplecorp. wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 11:26 amShoulda made the plate either VTWAX or VT instead.retired@50 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:28 am The funny thing is that VTSAX doesn't hold any Toyota stock.

Seems more likely.
A true Boglehead would NEVER pay extra money for vanity plate.

Re: Ok, which of you did this?
OP, Why are you driving on a freeway and using up expensive gas just to go to dinner? Aren’t there any reasonable restaurants near you?

Re: Ok, which of you did this?
is he claiming that VTSAX paid for the car?
if so, that's the reason nobody's license plate says "ENRON"

There's a strange thing among the "everyone must own international" crowd.
