So I was tinkering around with the DMV site again for a new idea and see that my original entry at the top of this thread, S2M8DIZ, is now not available here in California. I was amused and slightly “e-violated” hahaha.
This means that either this is one major coincidence, or someone here who is not as kynd as they likely represent themselves to be, snuck in and snagged it. 😏
I’m glad it’s in use, as I wasn’t going to use that one, but it would have been nice to not have it taken without a pm and asking if it was cool to take, considering it was likely discovered here.
My attorneys will be in touch.
