There are still people who have money to spend on useless things ... oh , no , a fancy number plate shows their status ... and that they are idiots to pay for this .

It defies common sense but common sense is in short supply in a country mired in superstition.

I'm not saying I agree with such things, however there is another aspect to this, in as much as number plates like this and other rarities in whatever field, can be seen as a good investment for the future, as well as status symbols for those who can afford it.

Are we talking about America--where someone "Mired in Superstition paid over 66 million Baht for a number plate

Or maybe the superstitious English Guy who wanted 25 O so much he paid out over 22 Million Baht.

 

I agree with you Anant 72...it boggles the mind the stuff that goes on in these countries that are mired in superstition..............................

I was just talking about Thailand. This said, religion being a superstition, one could say that most countries are indeed mired in superstition.
