GeersZ

I got my personalized plates today - GEERSZ. Like all vanity plates, there is a special meaning to this license plate.

One could look at this plate and pronounce it "Jersry" - and I hope everyone gets it, and pronounces it correctly.

But the true meaning goes back almost 30 years. John, my college roommate went by the nickname of Geers (pronounced jeers). The license plate on his Z was GEERS1. Since Geers honored me by letting me take ownership of this car, I thought it would be a fitting homage to name the car after him, while having the hidden meaning of my state of residence.

GEERSZ truly is a special car. Not because of its beauty. Not because of its rarity in NJ. It's special because it represents more then friendship. GEERSZ represents brotherhood.

Geers could have sold this car to anyone. It's a highly desirable car. He sold it to me because he knew how much it would mean to me and our friendship.
