Saw a Belgium motorhome plate, Austrian car and a cool motorcycle sidecar with Great Britain plates this summer.

We always play the "spot all the US states" game when we head south, I'm always floored that Hawaii isn't the toughest one to find. It's almost always West Virginia or Mississippi that are more difficult to spot.

On that note I have seen way more Utah plates around here this summer than probably any other one. Not sure why.

I must live a couple doors down from him! Have seen that plate parked on a driveway on my street. I should keep that in mind if I buy tickets from him this year

I was at Chinatown on the weekend for lunch, saw a BMW with a license plate that ends with 888, and then I saw a Mercedes with an 888 plate as well. After lunch I saw another BMW with an 888 plate followed by a Lexus SUV with yet another 888 plate....

There is an alternative plan, seen on a Ferrari in town - "8MYRRSP"

Saw "IM STIG" on a Porsche Cayman, the driver stalled it backing out of a parking spot.

Luck superstition probably. I had a realtor tell me that many Chinese won't by a house if the number is unlucky, I think it was 4's that are bad or something.

New building in Chinatown in Vancouver has a small sign above the hose hook-up, I assume for firefighters:

"Floors 2, 4, 13, 14 Do not Exist"

Have seen a few Star Wars related ones - "YODAFAN", and "CATSITH" (I think that last one is Star Wars?)

One, I am guessing Asian, was "L888888".

My kids caught this one and thought it was hysterical: BURNS2P

We've seen it several times since and it never fails to get them roaring.

This finally explains why I've seen a large proportion of BMW's with plates that start with BMW....
