When I was a young buck I had an '87 Nissan Pulsar that I tricked out with many custom stickers (to make it go faster)…on the top of the windshield: 鬼佬 Racing. (Gwailo Racing that is: Cantonese for ghost person/foreign devil…you get the idea).
Some years later I bought a '91 300ZX and attempted to recreate the Gwailo Racing motif…(with fewer stickers) and…a vanity plate. I decided on GWAILO 2. Went through California DMV with no problem.
After awhile I kept having to explain the ‘2’ and figured I would change it to GWAILO Z. Sent in the application: DENIED. ‘…does not meet the criteria for blahblahblah’
Really? Strong work DMV.
