The License Plate Game
You remember it--trying to find out of state license plates as your parents dragged you around in the car during the summer vacation. This summer we went to Hawaii, and the kids in the back observed that the normally *very rare* Hawaii plate was superabundant. The game became "find one that isn't from Hawaii". And sure enough, the genius who came up with the idea soon spotted one. From Alaska!!
 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! ***** State ***** Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington CHECK West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming ***************************** Extra Credit Section US District, Territory, and Possessions ***************************** American Samoa District of Columbia Federated States of Micronesia Guam Marshall Islands Northern Mariana Islands Palau Puerto Rico Virgin Islands ****************************

To be fair I won't play this game since I should be able to find nearly all of those within a few hours where I live.

The fun is in the game, please play!
Are you kidding, you have all fifty states in a couple hours? No way. I doubt you could do it in a weekend, or even a week. We have a pretty big city here, and *I* don't think I could blackout all fifty in a month. And I've been looking. I have held back in anticipation of creating this thread, but now... look out! (O, sry bout the pun!). Besides, if you play, then the other cool kids will want to play too. It's not a competition. Unless you have some money. **** As for vacationing together... that sounds like fun. We obviously have a lot in common. Except for the whole "Hawaii is so beautiful but boring" part. :snark: j/k...

cool kids? i'm just the nerd the cool kids let tag along so they can ridicule.
 remember where i live my friend. no one is from here and many keep their original residency because our license, registration, and insurance fees are so high. i lived here for ten years before dropping my illinois plates.

Define motivation. I already started the thread. You know about it, you're posting in it. I have a one state lead on you already. You talk a big game but....I don't know. Maybe your knee hurts too much to take a picture and post it.
As for postage, I currently have a sufficiency. I'm ahead of you, anyway.

it's kind of silly of us to smear license plates. i mean.....it's right on your car out there in the open all day long.

I took that picture a while back. I don't know why I bothered doing it...not like you can really do a whole lot with a license plate number here. Especially since my personalized plates should be arriving any day now.
