SHAMBE
Another plate with a long history is the New York license on a red Ford Mustang, SHAMBE (Shambe). I met thirty-five year old Christopher West on a plane to New York, and he explained that it is his mother's license. It was the name of their dog. They got the dog when Christopher was twelve years old. He died fourteen years later. Christopher said, "He was more human-like than many human beings. My mom always said, 'We treat this dog great. I'm going to come back as a dog in my next life.' She'd better end up with a family like ours or she could be in big trouble."
