"A horrible person". That's what it says. "A horrible person."

We weren't even testing for that.

Question time.

I was travelling quietly on the German autobahn and looked around to see who is coming with me.

Then something stroke my eyes.

A car with a Canadian license plate.

Yes, Canadian. It had the acorn leaf and everything.

Question, how does a Canadian get his car to Europe? There's some water in-between you can't really cross. Do we have teleportation devices now that I somehow missed?

I've seen Hawaiian plates here.

Hawaii is a US state consisting of a chain of islands way out in the Pacific Ocean. Seems like it'd be hard to drive to Seattle from there

I'm guessing they got their car shipped by boat, if it's not the teleportation thing. Or they just put a Hawaiian plate on the car for the hell of it.

Teleportation would also explain that car from Ulan-Bator, Mongolia that appeared in my village. Somehow, I doubt he really drove 10,000 miles across the world.

Boat. Private plane.

Stolen car and he just happened to have a Canadian plate.

What province or territory was it from, do you remember? Canada and the USA have separate plate designs for each state/province/territory/district, not 1 for each complete country

Cars can be transported by boats, yes. How do you think they get Japanese cars over to the US?

Not terribly hard to understand. Strange, but not hard.

Dunno. I know it started with two letters then three numbers. Oh, and the first letter was a V.

EDIT: Wikipedia says it's a Canadian army license plate.

Well then I would like to travel to the US using my car. Certainly it would be strange for them to see a license plate that starts with HU- and then some weird stickers.

Hmm, must be just someone who was stationed over there.

You must've been bored to take note of license plates. :p

I've seen German plates in California, so it's not too big of a stretch for other plates to wind up in Germany.

But you didn't forget Poland, Prince Kassad. Good for you.

American and Canadian plates are all I see around Maine, honestly. Canadian plates are common as New Brunswick is less than a two hour drive from my hometown.

You memorized all that, or do you just check off each country as you see them? If the first one, how the hell? If the second then why the hell?

I'm always impressed when I see a California, Oregon, or Washington plate here in Ohio. That's a lot of driving.

I saw a Vermont plate here in Washington.

I also saw an Alaskan plate in, I believe, Virginia. I couldn't imagine driving that far.

On that note I've seen Russian plates on a truck here in New York. Unfortunately the truck hasn't seen the road in over 13 years and is currently falling apart in a ditch behind the owner's house, who said he drove it all the way from Moscow to a ferry to Alaska, then over to the eastern seaboard. That's a lot of fucking miles and probably killed the truck.

Let's not forget the Canadian navy, composed of one ship and a bunch of fishing boats.
