Both glatt and I live in the same neck of the woods (the Virginia suburbs of DC) and it seems that every third car has an OBX sticker on it. I lived here for several years before someone finally told me what the hell OBX meant. At first, I thought it was the airport abbreviation for an airport in the Outer Banks area but it isn't - its completely made up - a pretentious idea that glatt characterized perfectly - an imitation European sticker that some PR guy dreamt up to confer a sense of exclusivity.

I have to admit that ever since I learned what it meant, I roll my eyes whenever I see one. That's not a knock on North Carolina - I spend time there myself - its a knock on the sticker itself.

I'm not sure they have high-speed access there, tho
