From the “Words Really Can't Do It Justice” department, rummaging around in my image library I found these shots that I took with my cellphone last year, on Route 1 in Yamashina (Kyoto, Japan).

Maybe for our next car….
The license plate is 88-88. Any significance to that, I wonder?
You can choose the four digits, so they probably just thought it was cool.

Is it legal in Japan to have the plate tilted up at that angle? Just curious.

Almost certainly not, but it’s common to see among those that would be called “burnouts” in an American high school. —Jeffy

“8” is considered lucky in China, so license plates full of eights are popular there. I’ve seen it a lot in Japan too.

And, of course you would see that car in Yamashina!
