When I first got it, there was a black cover on the front.
I had a Toyota Tacoma before that, and the license plate had the letters
"ARR" - so that was officially the first "Blackbeard".

Given that I am a pirate history enthusiast, seemed like a natural thing to
keep the name.  :)

Besides, Blackbeard sounds so much better than "Edward Teach" and I'd likely
need a completely different paint job if I went with "Calico Jack."
And "Ann Bonney" was already taken - and is a girl's name.  :)
