Definitely not as cool if forum doesn’t let you see.
Attached zoomed in version. I hypothesize this is as rare (or more rare) of a find in CO as any other van w/Ontario plates.
I’m glad I circled back to see if it really said Ontario. I’ve seen a lot of Uhaul vans…none w/Peterborough, Ontario.[ATTACH=CONFIG]30372[/ATTACH]
Jenn – Do you see this is a U-Haul Van from Ontario (w/the zoom photo)?
Will you count this?
Correct, it’s not a license plate, but I think it meets the spirit of the game (find a really rare gem on the road)
How?
1. It’s a van
2. It’s from Ontario
3. It’s even a much rarer find than a van w/ON plates
—- ON has ~9M registered vehicles
—- Vans are ~4% of passenger vehicles (in general) …so ~400k ON vans on the road
—- <150k U-hauls on the road (all sizes)
—- Assuming U-haul vehicles promote each 50 states + 10 provinces equally, there are only ~2.5k ON U-hauls on the roadMarch 5, 2023 at 4:35 am #1125869bikingjenn

ParticipantALERT Vehicle ABC game date extended to March 19. All submissions must be in by midnight. We have winners but keep looking to get your prizes if you have not finished.
New rule for V – any van and any Canada license plate (doesn’t have to be on the van)
I don’t know about you but when biking alone I really enjoy having things to find.
