And "the creeper" sounds like somebody who own a 80's panel van with free candy spray painted on the side

 

My vanity plate would be "Leaking"

 

Pretty good one. How bout " 9MPG"

 

That would be on the 5.4 powered Expedition

 

Mine will do 9mpg with high octane ethanol gas. Gotta use high oct. non ethanol to get in the 10mpg range.

 

I was thinking mnypit on mine since on the auburn collegiate plates we only get 6 spaces

 

For what it's worth, I live out in the Hamptons and was thinking of doing something similar. I used to flip quite a few cars back when I just got out of high school. Seeing what has went from nearly worthless to trendy over the last few years (bmw e30 verts, vw cabriolets, etc) I feel like for the average Joe and Jane schmoe, coming out for the summer and spending 50-100k for a rental (and there are literally thousands of them) a clean ish discovery with some nice tires and small lift, all dolled up will have no problem fetching a premium over what us regular folk will pay. Hell, rust bucket 1990 wranglers with 4 cylinders sell for close to 10 grand here in the summer. I wouldn't even go as hard core as the ones in the original post, find a somewhat clean specimen for a few grand, put a couple more into decent tires, some fog lights, small lift, paint less dent removal, detail and touch up. Sell for 10-15k, repeat. Perfect summer beater for the upper middle class

 

Not saying it could never happen but You are firmly in Defender territory up there. I imagine the rusted out Jeep is less embarrassing to drive than the Defenders country cousin.
