Why do I keep seeing 4UZE plates?

Wade Hellner's license plate is 4UZE401. Ever since I noted his plate, I've seen tons of 4UZE plates. At one point, I had seen so many, I thought if I had been recording them, I'd probably seen a hundred (out of 1000 cars in all of California that have plates, that's an incredibly impressive number).

So, I finally decided to do just that. In the last week, here are the one's I've seen.

• 4UZE364 - down the street from me.
• 4UZE390 - white Porche 911 on El Camino, near Fair Oaks 8/16
• 4UZE236 - Blue car on Hamilton and Hill in Palo Alto 8/13
• 4UZE208 - Alex Kim's friend's car. I rode in this one. 8/13
• 4UZE320 - Grey celica on El Camino 8/12

If only I'd been writing all of these down before. Alas. Still: five in less than a week is pretty good.
