License Plate Brain Teasers

July 7, 2009 (PLANSPONSOR (b)lines) - When you travel by road, ever play games involving other cars?
Reported by

When I was younger, I played a game we called “Spud” in which whoever saw a Volkswagon Beetle, and yelled SPUD first, got a point.   Certain colors gave you more than one point, but I don’t remember the details.

The Alphabet Game entailed each person spotting each letter of the alphabet in order on license plates, with the person getting through the alphabet first winning. Two people could not use the same license plate for the same letter.
