Meet the Repo God

Posted October 12, 2008, 11:19 a.m.

I was driving home the other day and saw a tow truck towing a Nissan Xterra, and I had to chuckle when I saw the tow truck’s license plate. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at Virginia’s ‘REPO GOD’.

Unfortunately the photo quality isn’t too high, so I blew up the plate. It’s still not crystal clear, but take my word for it :-).

I’m pretty sure this is a repossession-in-progress too, since they’re likely not towing the Xterra correctly (its drive wheels are on the ground, and that’s usually a no-no) . . . that probably means it was a ‘hurry up and take it before the psuedo-owner notices and we’ll fix it later’ kind of deal.
