I have BYU plates on my “junk truck”— the beater truck I keep around to haul

Dirt around and so forth. It’s 20 years old, and all banged up, so I don’t worry about its looks too much. But I’m in Davis County, and it has certainly gotten keyed a couple times. I have to assume it’s because of the BYU plates.

But I also think it’s silly to assume that’s the reason why we don’t sell a lot
