This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In my state of my country the plates are colour coded. So like for most of the 90s it was green, now they're blue or something? I dunno, if you knew what to look for you could figure out what generational combination its from.
