"I think it was autocheck.com. That's in my browser history, and it does give the results. There are several similar sites. It just gives the info on the car itself, not who's registered."

"Definitely not Minnesota -- I have a friend who works for the state of Minn and he actually spent an hour on Google Images looking for this. :) Anyway, I'm about 99.99% sure it's an Ohio specialty plate. Also, I found a web site where you…"

About me:
I'm a lifelong Libra. Been cycling in Chicago since 2014; before then, I hadn't touched a bike since, oh....about 1987.

Oh, and I also obey traffic laws on my bike (including stop signs); DESPISE Critical Mass (although I'd be all for it if they did Critical Manners here in Chicago); sometimes drive a gas-powered car; and believe the Lakefront Trail is a PATH, not the Tour de freakin' France...can you deal?

My bike is a 2014 Trek Shift 2 hybrid; got a hybrid because I had read that a hybrid is a good choice for people who haven't been on a bike in a while. My bike's name is Syd. And if you understand why I named my bike Syd, then...well, you and I should probably go out and grab a Guinness; I'd invite my wife to join us but she doesn't like Guinness.
