Default So I just passed a truck & enclosed trailer...

...and it had (amongst others) a license plate with THX 138 on it. I wonder if that's someone we know?

The trailer also had "American Graphiti" on it. Durrr milners coupe had that plate... Now many more things suddenly make sense.

If I'm online there is a 92.6% chance that I am driving so I'd say the odds are pretty high of it.

yeah its a George Lucas thing. "THX 1138" is somewhere in every movie he does. makes sense, it was his first ever movie. I'm actually a huge star wars nerd (not like, physically huge. I'm only 200 lbs lol) and i plan on getting a plate for my scion FRS (known as Toyota 86 everywhere else) and was thinking "THX 1186" would be cool. I've already got a Poe Dameron x-wing theme going, with rebel logo on my dash and BB-8 USB charger in my cupholder lol

i probably lost most of you after George Lucas hahahaha
now i really wonder what was in that trailer though... any of those cars from the (American graffiti) movie were awesome.

THX-1138 was George's first movie.

THX 1138 (1971) - IMDb
