Why do people block out license plates?

[Jinalpatel]

It's a good idea.

Funny you mention him. No sh-t I have a non- Japanese friend who I have known for over 20 years here who is a black belt in Aikido. He is tight with Segal's Japanese ex-wife here. Not in the literal sense though. He's part of the nakama (inside group) at the dojo she still runs. That was originally in Juso (Osaka) where Steven learned his skills (not the cia or navy seal skills). According to my friend he left a couple of kids here too. My friend doesn't think much of him though. Never been back except to make movies ect. My wife hates his movies, but I love to watch them, especially the ones before he got fat! You're right Raw! He's been doggin down on too many fast food burgers.

Just another note and this is also close to home. My college friend in OC CA was up at a relatives property in Oregon, or I think it was or Washington. I think Oregon. The adjacent property belonged to Segal. We are talking like ranch sized properties. The sh-t I heard from him about how Segal was trying to strong arm them out of their land was unbelievable. I don't remember the details, but it didn't sound honest at all. I still like his movies and I'll watch them anytime, yet I think Van Dam is a better example to follow.

On the other hand, I don't want to judge him. These are things I've heard 2nd or 3rd hand. Only God can judge, if we do it we might be judged. If I do it Segal might send a Russian crew to take me out right here in Japan, or some Yakuza buddies of his. Just for the record, I like his movies!

I don't get it why people do this kind of stuff. I feel like Paranoid People do all these.

Yeah, no AdamEve, I hit on an Eve once, it didn't go well. As far as ADAM12, it was taken, in fact when the lady said it was taken I said that figures, she asked why, being in her 20's she had no clue. The lady next to her was in her 50's she said, "Car 1ADAM12, come in", I laughed. The younger woman rolled her eyes at all of us old people.

I also own ADAM7.

Hey Adam!

Would love to know more about that Adam 7 Mustang! By color it looks like a Shelby 350 Hertz. I brought one back to the States about 16 years ago. It wasn't genuine even though it looked the part. As much as I researched that car at the time, I learned just about everything to know about a Shelby Hertz.1966. 1500 made I believe or there about.

Mine isn't real, just a fastback I bought for about $10,000 and painted some stripes on. Added the wheels, changed up a few more things. It's a fun car and it has a back seat, which a couple of my cars don't, so I can take the kids for ice cream.

For the record, almost all of the Shelby's were automatics. I haven't decided what to do with the Mustang yet, if I keep it I may upgrade to a bigger 8cyl motor and a manual gearbox, but I've been hesitance up until now because I haven't made up my mind on the car. I like it, but it doesn't fit well with the collection.

Mine was looking like the real deal when I bought it. It had been sitting so a little rough on body and paint, but it had the proper Shelby stamps in the fenderwell , the Selby badge in the engine bay. Auto like all Shelby 350 Hertz rental cars were. Now that I think of it, there may have been more than 1500 made, perhaps a hundred or two more? They were all black with the gold stripes. Apparently they were only made in 66'because the renta cars were coming back with different engines in them or raced and trashed.

I found a guy in So. Dakota with a museum of abput 200 Shelbys of all types. Never went there but he talked me through it on the phone many times from Japan. The numbers under the front fenders had been ground out. They missed one behind the hood lhinge which when I found it we learned it was a 65'fastback, built in LA and with a six cylinder motor. Moreover, the engine bay badge which looked authentic should have said SHELBY AMERICAN. It read SHELBY AMERICA.

In the end I paid 3.5K for it, sent it back in a 40footer with 17 Jap engines and a few front clips. Sold it later for 8k plus a bonus windsor 351 I got with it. It paid for most of the container. If I'd of kept it for a few years I could have done well. During the muscle car boom one would pay 20k plus for any mustang in 20 boxes!

This reminds me of hometown memories 7 years ago? I'd bought a 69' Z28 from a hometown friend. He'd always had a personal plate 1969 Z28. He stored it for me til I got home a year or two later, but then I had to change registration and store it myself.

The rules at DMV sort of say you have to surrender a personal plate, but I told Darrell I want that plate!! When we went to the DMV local, we get this girl who was a grade younger than me in Highschool. Moreover, you know how government employees behave by culture -- they just snub you even if you knew them earlier in life. Gerry was fat like a well fed cow, always was like her mother or aunts. She might have been fatter than a Yorkshire hog, but its a toss up. She was bustin our balls to transfer the plate over to me on a direct title/rego changeover.

Now Darrell, local Italian American is the funniest guy you'd ever want to meet. So Darrell said, with his most honest face -- Gerry, you look very beautiful today! She forthright immediately stamped the docs. and then said -- Darrell, Get the Hell out of Here!

Understood, but it isn't a Shelby anyway and those early Mustangs were fun with a 4 and even a 3 speed in them. Some modern suspension work, better brakes, bigger wheels and tires along with a manual transmission could transform the car. Now, if you put a bigger V8 in it....muscle car mania!

But I get it. Those cars are what they are...mid 60's technology. You've got a pretty full stable and some fun cars already. Still, fastback Mustangs are just cool.

My license plate is too KOOL to ever block out!

You can easily do it... county dependent.

Go to your local dmv site, they have a section where you type in a plate to see if there are any over due tolls or fines..AND it asks you to verify your name. Ie, it shows you the name...

And it’s free...

My wife found this accidentally...
