Then the plate came a couple days later. It took forever and the cah I got it for was gone.

We got a Camaro to replace the wrecked car and it got the plate. I drove it for a few weeks before I realized I hated it. My wife LOVED it. So I ended up driving the Prius a lot. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. My wife is from NY and it's funny that she got stuck with the WIKD CAH plate since she doesn't talk like that at all. So we decided to trade in the Prius and I got the FRS. I got the WICKD 86 plate to match the Camaro.
Wicked story. (Sorry, couldn't help myself)

We use to use that term in Philly during the 80s, but I've rarely heard it since. I thought it was a 80s thing, not a New England thing, but maybe you guys are just keeping it real.
