In a mystery book ("Trace"), the "hero"(? drunk, crazy, strange, but a
good guy) dreams up a brilliant idea that will make a million. Sell
plates that say "O U T A", and people will read it in their rearview
mirror and move over. That's his theory anyway. He wants to expand the
idea to "ROADHOG", "DRUNK DRIVER" (that will make them move), etc. A
very strange book.
