License Plate Trivia Revealed

Feb 07, 2011 Uncategorized 16 comments

So wow, I was impressed with how many of you got the color right! *wink, wink*

For those of you just tuning in, the license plate was

ROS3RED

My readers were charged with guessing the color, make and model.

But alas, no one got it exactly right. Stina Lindenblatt was the closest with the guess of a Red, Toyota, Sienna.

Red, yes. Toyota, yes. Sienna, no.

This license plate actually corresponds to the car model. “ROS3” or Rose is a type of flower, no? So this car was a red Toyota Corolla. Corolla is a Latin word which means the collective petals of a flower. Not a perfect fit, but you can definitely see the connection.
In any case, congratulations, Stina! You have the choice of your favorite candybar or a Mystery Prize. It may be better than a candybar. It may not be (bwa-ha-ha!). Your pick. 😀

    Every time I see a cryptic personalized plate, I think of you.

    Congrats, Stina!

  2. Oh, I WANT that car. I don't suppose that's my mystery prize. 😀

    Okay, Canadian customs might have something to say about that. And I'm positive it won't fit in my mailbox.

    I like this game, I'll always be noticing plates now, finding the random connections!

    Congratulations Stina on the win 🙂

  4. Ohhhhh, will she pick the candy bar? Or the mystery prize? That's tough. I'd probably go with the mystery prize. Be adventurous, Stina! And congrats to her!

    Fun contest, Janet!

    That's an interesting piece of trivia regarding Corolla! Congrats to Stina. I'm sorry I missed the chance to guess!

  10. CONGRATS Stina! So which prize did you pick? The candy bar or the mystery prize? I'd go for the mystery prize, if it were me.
    : )

    Corolla means the petals of a flower? I did not know that.

    I always thought it just meant Car-Rolla, which is what happens when you treat your car like a TOY-ota.

    I really need to brush up on my latin
