Valor (Courage)
The car you see in the picture (click picture for better detail) is a Geo Metro, a subcompact car very very tiny. The car shown is pretty much beat up all around, the car is literally falling apart, you can notice how the trunk is kept together with bungee cords. I see this car almost every day in my daily commute and it always makes chuckle because of its license plate. The Spanish word "Valor" can be translated into English as Value or Courage. I personally believe they mean it to be Courage, why would you pay $5o for a personalized license and put Value on it?
So Courage the courageous car always makes me laugh because there is this tiny Geo Metro falling apart with a license plate that says Courage (or Value), it's funny. Either the owner (we assume is Mexican) has a great sense of humor or a lot of Courage. Or maybe the car is of a lot of Value for him.
By the way, avoid at all cost to take a picture while driving a manual shift car on the highway during rush hour, it is absolutely insane. I always get upset at people who drive and speak on their cellphones, I can't imagine all the things that were said to me while taking a picture of Courage.
