Also saw Arizona and Idaho last night, but didn't have a good/safe opportunity to take the shot.

10 / 50. woot!

Drove through a parking lot this morning and snapped some pictures. Don't have the time to resize and upload them right now though.

Got Nevada, Utah, Minnesota,. (Arizona, Texas, Florida and California too, but you already have them.)

The State of play thus far
 
If I'd had the internets yesterday I would have known about this and could have polished of most of these -I was at the flea market in Shipshewana, Indiana. Anyway, I think this should summarize the game so far, for those of us late to the party....

And sure enough, the genius who came up with the idea soon spotted one. From Alaska!! :eek: Boy, is he lost.

I think we could have a fun game of it here. Take a picture of the license plate and post it. I've included a list of states, feel free to copy the list as your "bingo" card. I'll start off with one from my home state of Washington. Each player's home state should be pretty easy, don't you think?

I think we should only post pictures we've taken, since cribbing them from the intarwebz would be too easy. Be safe out on the highway, though. Pass the wheel or the camera to the navigator if things get too hairy, ok?

Ready to play? Game on!

I propose we all maintain our own card. NOT a race for first one to each state. If anything, first one to the whole country. Just post your own, whadayasay?

monster:
wow. long post. I tried to make the latest post with the state listing my cumulative total. I copy my previous post, then only add and bold the states included in the new post. Rinse, repeat.

yes, you're unignored now.

Sundae 06-25-2008 06:03 PM

Countryist again I call you.
The first two letters of a UK registration tell you where the car was registered. There are 19 different areas but there are a number of different letter combinations for each area.

We used to play I-Spy on the motorway when we went on holiday, trying to collect all the different regions, but it's certainly not a photo-worthy endeavour like it is with your plates.

monster 06-25-2008 07:33 PM

We used to split into two teams, and -taking the last two digits of the number part of the registration, one would count up from 00 to 99 and one down from 99 to 00.

For US peeps, Brit plates have a very specific format with numbers and letters. you wouldn't believe how much people pay for vanity plates -even ones with 1 for I and 4 for A etc. Brits, most states here you can pretty much have anything you want on your plate for a relatively small fee. ours are all letters.

footfootfoot 06-25-2008 09:16 PM

will post Vermont and New York tomorrow.

JuancoRocks 06-25-2008 11:53 PM

My late nephew's license plate. One of 28-36 styles available in Arizona.
Yeah, he was a Larry Storch fan.

BigV 06-26-2008 09:35 AM

Welcome to the game JuancoRocks, good to have you on board. Sorry to say I don't know Larry Storch... and what is the word at the bottom of the plate under the CKE part of the plate number?

Missed Kansas and some other foreign plate... Here's a shot of my favorite fishing hole. The carpool minimum is THREE and not two, and excludes all these rich dumb people ( :haha: ). Seriously, this is a stressful stretch of road. The carpool lane is also the collector distributor lane (Gawd, I hate that concept) and there's a ton of traffic just trying to get on the highway. I have to defend my choice to drive only 20 mph faster than the adjacent lane because of my fear that some frustrated driver will pop out of that jam RIGHTINFRONTOFMEHOLYCRAP!!!! So, I take it easy, and keep my eye open for new plates.
