Wait, is it LAPD, Highway Patrol, or local Deutsch Polezei?

Good work though.  :partyon:

LAPD Highway Patrol with a German license plate. You know, even the American cops have this fad about "When driving German, put a German license plate upfront."  :lol:

I saw a BMW X5 last week with a German plate on the front. Guess what the first two letters were.

Replicating the german plate itself is OK, but the emissions and certification sticker is forgery of ducuments.  :nono:  :devil:

You can. Park the car on a flat and level surface, wait three minutes for the engine oil to settle down, then check the oil level via the board computer. Works flawlessly in our E320 too.  :devil:

Absolutely.

It had an Alberta plate on the back, so it's either:

1) Someone from M?hldorf who moved here
2) A poseur/someone who is a whore for German cars

What will they do... roll this into a criminal gang's headquarters and let it blow up as a distraction?

Believe it or not, I saw another vehicle with a M?hldorf plate on the front last week: a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Same guy, second car. :huh:

When my parents immigrated, they kept their Indian license plates as souvenirs. For years, the AllTrac had "MMB 2751" on the rear bumper.

I think these are probably vanity plates that 'europhiles' buy, thinking the 'M?' prefix probably stands for M?nchen (which has a number plate prefix of 'M'?).
