That's impressive. To get a numbered license plate you need to be rated as one of the top 1000 government employees living in DC. For you to be rated 911 and still be able to afford a Porsche on a govie salary is quite a feat.

Oh, and additional credit should be given to the parking job. Too many pcar owners are too concerned about their bumpers to even drive downtown. He's managed to fit his into an appropriately sized parking space..

I don't believe that all 1,000 are gov't employees. I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time.... ), but I believe the low numbered plates are assigned by the DC Mayor or some-such, and include high ranking officials in DC Gov't, as well as $$ supporters, etc. Plus, I think they may be short termed use, too. Maybe 1 or 2 years. I seem to recall back in the M. Barry days, he was using "1" and his wife's car had "2".

If you have a sub 1000 plate from DC, you don't read internet forums.

I saw a gray wolf in the Target/Petsmart parking lot in Sterling a few minutes ago.
