Tag 5!!!

Tom and I went for a mid-winter trip to Rehoboth on Thursday 1/15 and we ran into tag number 5 on Rehoboth Ave. UGH! What a milestone for us! Here's another picture...


We also saw a few others, such as 178, PC25, D12, and PC411. We also saw FT89 in Smyrna but we all know I don't use farm truck tags...

So I got home, Tom left, and I got a text from a friend at Hope, who sent me a picture of PC68! Ugh! But that's not the best part. I logged onto Facebook and posted the picture of 5 on my group and my friend Ryan replied back and told me he had a picture of C3 hahahaha UGH!

Tom said it best - quality, not quantity! Our tag number average for the day is 105.67. The typical average is usually above 250. Ugh. I love. My life. :D

Got It!

So I finally got it! PC3980 is mine! But it was like a maze trying to get it! Here's the story in brief:

- Had the title overnighted on Monday (to arrive Tuesday)
- Called at noon on Tuesday to check if it got there
- Called the credit union to get the tracking number - sure enough it had arrived at 10:16am at the Wilmington DMV
- Called the DMV back - they gave me a run-around, telling me that they couldn't discuss the title with me, blah blah blah. It was VERY frustrating.
- I had to get the credit union to fax the DMV a letter stating that both my name and the credit union's name was on the title
- It turns out that the STUPID woman at the DMV wrote my name down wrong - she put Joseph, Jordan. Wow. Way to go.

I met Mr. Redding at the DMV and we did the transaction. However, when I went outside to remove my tag, the left screw wouldn't come off. I was with Greg D. and Brent du P. all day so we were all trying to unscrew it but it wouldn't come off. What happened is that the fixture that holds the screw in was broken - the nut inside of the fixture was spinning with the screw but we couldn't get to it. We went to Tom's house to ask his dad's help. He whipped out a little saw and - voila - it was fixed! My old license plate is all severed and bent up - it's a mess. Here's a picture of the new one:


We also saw this on the way back from KOP - incredible sighting!

OH. MY. GODDD.

So I saw this ad on Craigslist for PC3980. I was reading it and thought to myself "Wow I bet this is expensive." I get to the end - it's $1,000. I email the guy and offer him $800. He counter-offers $900 and throws in the stainless tag so basically I got it for $800 and he saved me the aggravation of waiting a month to get a stainless tag! Pictures to come later...

New Stuff 9/20-10/1

Yesterday I enjoyed a beautiful day with Tom in Southern Delaware. We went through Dover, Seaford, Georgetown, Millsboro, Rehoboth, Lewes, Slaughter Beach, Leipsig, and Smyrna. That was the first time we had been through Slaughter Beach - it was actually really cool! It's a small town with modest homes and lots of low tags, such as PC705 and PC658. My three favorite sightings for the day:

Big Update

On Thursday 9/11, Tom and I took a drive all through southern Delaware and ended up in Rehoboth. We spotted a grand total of 20 low-digit tags, but this one was the best by_far:

iPod Touch!

As of today, Thursday, August 28, 2008 at 1:04pm, I have 617 pictures of Delaware low-digit license plates. My latest (PC911) was sent to me from a friend.

8-26-08

I've been seeing a lot of 3-digits but the two I like the most in the past two weeks are 302 and PC66. 302 is awesome for the obvious reason that it's Delaware's only area code and PC66 because I had seen it once before but I wasn't able to snap a picture. I finally saw it in Middletown, made a sharp U-turn, and got right up behind it.
