Thread revival time!

Okay, I've been seeing a few cars with other numbers on them.  I've seen this "1913" plate a few times before and have no idea what this is/means.

I've finally been able to grab a photo of one.....


nybody know what's the deal with this one?

Does the driver look like they are close to 100 years old?   :lol:

64.2

We should get 64.2 decals made. 

Also yes, I can't tell you how little I care that you ran a marathon or half marathon.  Just get out of my way.

I always wanted to run a marathon "someday".   Then I ran a half-marathon.

Granted, my experience was tainted by 5,000+ feet of Afghan elevation and running on a lame .5mile track, but I realized it was pretty much a waste of time. (for me)

(Finished around 1:50 BTW, nothing spectacular but I ran a lot faster than many others...

My thought on marathons:  The first guy to run one dropped dead from it.  I prefer not repeating the mistakes of others.

So I'm guessing everyone's drawing a blank on this one?

1913 was the year of the Mexican Revolution.  Probably the most likely inspiration.

Not really, the relevant date for our revolution is 1910 (started)
