June License Plate Report

June 30, 2008

Hawaii!! And Oklahoma!

I haven't spotted Hawaii in several years. Well, there's been (may still be) a car on island roads that had a Hawaii plate on front, but it's Massachusetts on the back, and that's what counts. A couple of weeks ago I pulled into the NAPA auto parts store to get new blades for my windshield wipers (long, long overdue -- if it had been raining when Uhura Mazda got inspected in March and reinspected in April, she would have flunked that too). I parked next to an old sedan with its hood up in front -- and a Hawaii plate on the back. The owner, a young guy with a bandanna around his head, was in the shop buying rubber gaskets for his headlights.

Oklahoma wasn't quite as exciting. It was on the back of a Budget rent-a-van that I was behind one day at the blinker light. There's no way of knowing when the van was last in Oklahoma, or whether the driver's ever been there, but it was an Oklahoma plate, and it's legit.

I saw South Dakota yesterday when I stopped by his mother's house. He's got a good job waiting in South Dakota and will be heading west shortly. Hope he comes back to visit in 2009 . . .

YTD total is now 40.
