Funny (sort of) Registration story
Got the 951 through emissions/inspection today. Passed with flying colors.
I had some extra time, so I decided to run down to the DMV to get the permanent registration taken care of. When the lady at the counter was going through the paperwork, she said, "oh, your model number is 944?" "um. Yeah?" "It's too bad you weren't just a minute earlier in getting here. The guy that was right in front of you got a plate number starting with '944'" Well, I guess I'll have to settle for "945..."

Yeah, I've been through such an ordeal just getting this car, I am happy the process is finally over. I did think up a pretty funny pneumonic device to remember the rest of the plate, however.

with a little work or know-how, you can find a person's address via their license plate. yes... you could just follow the person home and watch them park. But why make it any easier for some bad guy who could be hypothetically poking around in this forum or any other?
