What's new?

BC that's what. It was also excluded from the original B's on the car plates. So was BE. I can guess BA, BC, and BE will be truck plates. If my guess is right about vowels being trucks, so will BU (which I also never saw on cars). It makes for an interesting bit of trivia, truck plates BC might be the only truck plate to not have a vowel in it.

With the revelation trucks are coming out as B+vowels now, I double checked the first truck I saw with a B plate (written about in a previous post). I was right, it was in deed a car plate with a BZ. I thought maybe it would have been the first BA I found.

I was thinking about this the other day too. If car plates are BB#-A123 format and truck plates are AA#-1234 format, they could theoretically reuse the first three letters. For example there could be a truck plate BB-1234 since all the car BB's have a letter followed by 3 numbers.

This just shows me I will have to pay more attention as this game goes on. It could get exceedingly complicated.

Update on the CJ Dilemma: CJ3 is dark, CJ4 is light. Haven't been able to narrow it down any farther than that due to lack of data. But this is good enough for my purposes.
