F NADER
By: Eric M

After 5 years on his Corvair, John Miller has been asked to return his personalized "F NADER" Iowa license plates as it has been deemed offensive.
From the Des Moines Register:
State officials recently determined the “F” is shorthand for a four-letter vulgarity aimed at consumer advocate Ralph Nader. Nader wrote a 1965 book, “Unsafe at Any Speed,” which criticized the safety features of many American automobiles, citing General Motors’ sporty Corvair as a example and damaging its reputation.
My opinion? If it made it through the DMV 5 years ago then it shouldn't be recalled. I personally wouldn't put this sort of plate on my car, but I am certainly not offended by it.

John Miller - next time try l33t sp34k: FN4D3R.
