    You've got to be creative to see "The Stig" in it, but a license plate reading "THE 571G" went to a fan of UK driving show Top Gear at a DVLA auction in the UK for a price of just under $20,000 (£10,690). The UK motoring site Pistonheads claims the winning buyer was Rick Fusari, owner of the Greenford Motors car dealership in West London. Fusari snagged the plate from 11 other Top Gear fan-boys bidding on the vanity plate and now has the dilemma on which of his two Ferraris to place the plate. Either way, we're hoping he doesn't buy a white helmet to go along with it

    Couldn't he of just 'ordered' 7H3 571G, TH3 571G, 73H 571G or 7H3 57IG and saved some money or went all out and bought THE STIG instead of just half-assing it?

    UK personalized plates must be a certain combination of letters and numbers.

    Wow, that's a cool plate, but come on, for that much I expect a date with The Stig!
