Whenever I see an Indiana plate, I try to figure out what county they are from. Every county in the state has a 2 number prefix on their plate that is alphabetically assigned. For example, Bartholemew County is 3. Delaware County is 18. Henry County is 33.
I always like to look for people from my home county when I'm travelling. |
Yeah, Indiana is stupid like that! Here in VA we just put our county name ON the license plate! Gee, what brainiac made the "secret code" decision for Indiana???  |
The same ones who came up with the decision for Nebraska. |
I've heard a rumor that this brainiac now works for the Kerry campaign!

I always notice the out of state ones, but memorizing the #'s? Forget about it. I can't memorize my own plate #.

We get so many out of state plates down here I'd go dizzy trying to remember them. As to what they are doing? Coming down to play!

I notice plates but less now. In Kentucky I would look to see what county people are from. Texas doesn't list counties so I don't notice Texas plates as much. I do notice out of staters and wonder why they are here. I live near the med center, so I usually assume they are here for medical treatment or medical school.
I'm thinking of getting this vanity plate.
or this one

That was my biggest concern going to Boston, as I'd never driven in any ice or snow. Of course, I'm a master at hydroplaning, how much harder could it be? Luckily all the roads were well cleared.

hey! If you see a blonde girl driving a black 2-door car with an Indiana license plate around ASU's campus, I KNOW HER! She's a good friend of mine from Purdue.
