content: Quote from: xrunner on April 04, 2017, 01:08:17 amYeah, the funny thing is I was driving and not paying attention. My wife saw it and said something to my boys in the back seat to see if they could figure out what the license plate said. I looked over and thought, "cool, a Tesla" then looked at the plate just as it was pulling away. I told my wife to quick take a picture and my boys were asking why as I chased it down so my wife could get the photo - then I explained.

content: A few years ago I was headed South on I-5 just North of Seattle when I came upon a station wagon with the out-of-state license plate "CONTACT", the plate's frame said "Okay to go" and the woman driving looked a lot like Jill Tarter. I was driving a Jaguar XJR with my Ham plates. I made my way in front of her to see if she would make the connection but I received no response. She appeared to have other things on her mind.

content: On my way to work this morning:Funny, this guy is my neighbor. I never noticed the license plate until today when I was sitting behind him at a stop light. I only noticed he had the special black plates which are supposed to be for classic cars. I thought they looked strange on a Tesla.

content: California now has a legacy plate program that lets you order 60's black plate again, using the original stamps at Folsom Prison. For $$$ of course.Or perhaps it's an actually an original 60's plate that he's owned and transferred between cars for the last ~50 years.You can tell the difference at night with a flashlight. The modern version will have a reflectorized coating.
