1. This is the best of several shots I attempted. My Zio cellphone camera seems to take worse pictures than my older Droid. And I didn't have my Somewhat Serious Camera with me.
2. I transcribed the text of the license plate as a caption. Perhaps it will help if I edit it to be a bigger font.
And I recall you (well, I thought it had been Todd, but who knows) mentioning this plate to me decades ago! I've had it stored in my memory bank of "really cool plates".
My current cell is the first cell camera I've had that takes semi-decent pictures (previous three were really unusably bad; not just me being fussy). Photographers frequently say that the best camera for the job is the one you have with you. My blog photo of the new "Doubletree" logo on the old Radisson South has considerable nastiness from the cell phone camera; and I even had the intermediate camera with me, but chose not to mess with that while driving. (Well; while stopped in traffic. But still.)
I did see the transcription, understood it to be a transcription, and it was while processing the apparent difference between the transcription and what I saw that I realized what the plate meant. So that attempt to help was by no means a total failure even for me, and seems to have worked fine for other people. (For some reason, processing the O vs. D thing lead me to isolating the AG and interpreting that as "silver" for the first time, at which point it clicked.) It's probably just me, rather than your not having done a 'good enough' job at presenting it.
