I think so. It was a really crappy used black Mercedes that I thought looked cool, even though it was the cheapest / lowest / crappiest model they ever sold. I got rid of it pretty quickly because the seats smelled like a bad day at a nursing home.
It had the plate A70-DKS? Z? Something like that.
I don’t know my current plate number, let alone previous ones.
I do. It was 345 AGO. I remember because my mother joked that it meant “Always Going Out.” Which was a bit silly since the only place I ever went was to my friend’s house across town.
I remember mine. A cute little standard-shift Mustang. Florida, XVE 82A. It’s long gone, sadly. I loved that car. 
Off topic, but I’m thinking that I may be being misinterpreted regarding ol’ PGG 593. It was a 1987 model Omni, and by the time it hit 75K miles it had a great deal wrong with it. We called it the Calvin Coolidge car because it very often did not choose to run, besides which the passenger door could not be locked from the inside and the driver door could not be opened from the outside, and a great many other things besides.
A car from 1998 is from a whole nother generation…we now have two cars from the early 2000s, each of which has gone close to twice as many miles as the Omni managed, and the doors can still be opened and closed. Among other advantages.
So as someone said, yes, they make them better.
I make up messages for all my plates.
FMM 376: My first car, handed down from my mother. She called it “fast movin’ mama”, and by coincidence she was 37 years old in 1976.
My last car was NFG 44P. It was a Texas plate, and with the 2nd amendment rules in our state, I used the phrase “nice f**king gun…44 POW”.
I’m actually amazed that people DONT know their plate numbers. And drivers license numbers. And all that stuff. Just imagine a worst-case scenario: You leave your job at the end of the workday and go to the parking lot… only to find your car gone - probably stolen. Other than the color/make/model, what do you tell the cops?
My current plate is a vanity plate, custom via military allowance in TX. Free plates. All I have to do is claim my veteran benefits. I wanted my callsign that I used at my last unit, but settled for my team name from the combat team. I’m good with that. Besides, my callsign was pretty simple and I wasn’t surprised to find somebody else had my name on their car plate within the entire state.
“USA” plate issued in Spangdahlem, Germany . . . DU 5148.
I am just please that I remember that it had plates.
Oh, and to answer the other question asked in the OP, I’ve had 8 tags since that first one, and don’t remember any of them other than that first one and those on the current vehicles we have.
Sorry. 
When people use the phrase “they don’t make them like they used to,” the connotation is often that houses/cars/whatever were built better in the “good old days.” However, the denotation is simply that they make them differently now. I read in my own connotation and read out the irony. :smack:
I’ve only ever had one license plate. I’ve had it for about 27 years. I don’t just mean one number, I mean one plate - the plate on my current car is the same plate that was on the first car I bought when I was 19. And it’s only one plate on the rear on the car. No front plate. Massachusetts requires two plates now but they only required one when I got this plate and I’m grandfathered in. You know who the real Massholes are because we’re the people with one green-lettered plate on our cars.
934 PHE - and the car was a yellow 1977 Honda Civic. I have no idea why I remember that number - don’t remember the plate numbers of the other cars that I have owned including the one I drive now. Is there a way that I can look the old number up and find out what happened to the car?
Funny how memories work. My parents had one car when I learned my alphabet 40ish years ago 710-EED. Haven’t thought of it in forever, as soon as I read the thread title it jumped into my head.
Since then, I can’t remember any of them and at -5 below I’m not trudging outside to look at the ones in the garage.
Here in Washington, you’re required to buy new license plates every seven years.
Kickbacks. Doncha love 'em?
This is me. I screw my plate on the care when I get it, and that is the last time I ever think about it. I am not sure why I would ever need to know it.
HBC-253. Hadn’t thought of that in years.
