These guys are all relatively intelligent, but Jerry was an engineer at one point. My experience with engineers is that they analyze problems in a way that most normal people don't, especially when numbers are involved.
Edit: Really glad I posted this before Jerry completely effed up the question where the numbers were actually given to him, ha.

These guys are like students taking a test. Nolan studies but barely passes, Jerry doesn't need to study, and James is happy to be there xD.
Accurate. As fuck.
I've always gotten classic plates to match my classic 70s & 80s vehicles but I felt like I was over paying at $40. I see I was not now lol
Right? I got a personalized themed plate. Sucker cost me extra cause of all that and I questioned my decisions
I have always avoided vanity plates because it boosted the price of the car tag to $100. Then the state decided anyone with an EV was obviously rich *OR* they wanted to disincentivize buying EVs in the state, so the regular price of a tag got an extra $125 added to it. At this point, the extra for a vanity plate is trivial.
@@thatjeff7550 Roads and infrastructure are largely funded by gas taxes. EV owners are using the roads without contributing to that funding, thus the state had to recoup the money somehow. EVs are heavier and put more wear on roads so it's even more important that they pay for their share of maintenance.
@@bwofficial1776 I will admit that infrastructure--*when* that money is actually spent on road repair and not something else--comes from gax taxes. And our original EV tax surcharge was...close to being in line with what it should be, *IF* I were paying for gas at a rate of a car doing 12,000 miles a year with a 30MPG.
However, our governor (a QOP) has decided that isn't enough and has doubled the tax rate last year. He intends for it to go even higher in up coming years.
As for the "but EVs are heavier" bullshit, my car weighs around the same amount as a F-150--why aren't they paying "their fair share" as well for tearing up the road? Their annual gas tax is nowhere near what I pay at the DMV.
@@thatjeff7550 You must live in Illinois like me, and if not then we have same problem. Gas tax and EV registration is straight stupid especially since it really doesn't seem like the roads are any better since the hike
When my friends grandma passed away, we were cleaning out sheds and closets for weeks just throwing out junk. Amongst the junk was some cool stuff that we had set aside. Cool trinkets, antique silver bits, old tools, and unopened boxes of model cars, screws, paints, glues. It was an insane amount of stuff. My friend was letting me keep whatever I thought was cool as a thanks for helping clean up the place. One thing I found that was neat was what looked like an old license plate except it was made of porcelain. I thought it was a decoration of some sort but it had the logo of a local racing team and an old roadster on it. It was pretty neat. I took it home and put it on my wall. I love car stuff. Literally months later my buddy gives me a call and asks if I took that plate. I told him that it was on my wall as we spoke and that I thought it was cool. He asked me if I’d be ok giving it back to him as his uncle was wanting it as a memento from his aunt and their involvement in the local racing team. I saw no issue with it. I thought it was cool but it clearly meant something much more to him. He was squirming as I walked into the house with it pinched between my thumb and my index finger. He literally came with a padded sleeve to transport it. It now sits in their old shop that’s now converted into a small museum with old Fords and muscle car stuff. There’s a wall of shelves just full of parts from engines that blew up on the track. There was old pictures and posters. Old time slips. That plate is now on the wall in a fitted shadowbox and his uncle was nice enough to put a small plaque underneath stating “generously donated by neighbor and friend upon grandmas passing.” Just thought it was neat. Thanks for reminding me of that porcelain plate.
Nice. My state allows car owners to purchase new porcelain plates and put them on their cars but only if the number is within certain bounds. I have one on one of my cars. People will make their own fake plates if the number isn't within the range and none of them look right. I don't get it, it's like making a new driver's license because you don't like the colors on the DMV-issued one. I'm surprised Delaware didn't make it into this video as it has numeric plates but people there with low-digit plates tend to hold onto them. Plates 1-3 belong to the governor, vice governor, and secretary of state. Plate 4 is the lowest publicly-available plate and is currently on a 10-year-old Lexus IS350. That number could buy a very, very nice house if sold.
Jerry dropping literally an exponential amount of points compared to the opps
Jerry always has the blink-182s "what's my age again?" Kinda vibe 😅😅😅 even with his ads lol. He is one of the best u got. Love u guys. Sad I didnt get to see u at Zumies this weekend. 😢😢
He kind of looks like early 2000s era Tom DeLonge
Imagine losing your $10,000,000 plate because your self-tapper fell out.
It doesnt work that way
To people who could afford to pay that amount, it's probably just like losing some pocket change to them.
If you own that plate (as in that number is registered to your name) missing that plate is no big deal as you could make DMV (or local authority) printed it again.
@@andrew66862yep same with uk
UAE you buy the rights to have on car if lost get a reprint no problem you still own it
UAE Plates Exposition:
Number plates have categories.
In Dubai they are alphabetical 10:12 [AA] and in Abu Dhabi they are numerical 12:19 [5].
So a category [A] number 9 plate would be worth so much more than a category [AA number 9] plate. Similarly the category [5] number 1 shown in 12:19 is worth pocket change compared to catogery [1] number 1.
Also, all of these plates were auctioned in a charity auction, so there’s that.
who cares about license plates OMG...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@daviddavidsonn3578 apparently we do
Whoever editor threw up the "ASSMAN" plate gets all the points lol.
And ÆNIMA? What a Tool.

I have an assman plate sitting in my window facing out to the street. Classy I know.
Sweet video. Being a license plate collector/dealer it’s nice to shine some light on our weird little hobby. Most plates arnt worth more than $5. I usually can buy them in bulk from junk yards for around $1. Most I’ve paid for a plate is $350 very cool to see some of the plates that are worth more than the cars. Thanks for this one. I got some license plate videos on my channel showcasing my collection and how I buy and sell

@@joshuagibson2520that was rough 😂😂😂...funny as hell but rough...it may not be that obvious to some so next time go a bit easy on whoever it is you see ask the question
I feel like there is a difference between buying an old plate vs owning the right to a plate. I've got some old plates but I don't think I could just register them again. But I have no idea.
There defiantly is a difference between buying an expensive wall hanger Vs, buying an old plate to use on your car, most states offer a program call YOM or year of manufacture and that allows you to put an old plate on your old car, for example if you were in California and had a 1957 chevy and wanted to put the old yellow and black plates on your car, you would need a matched set of 1956 Cali plates with a 1957 sticker, the plates year needs to match the year of the car. Most states offer this program but not all @@0Rookie0
US is plate paradise. I collect park related and aussie plates. Most current plates tops around 300 bucks.
My mom claims that she had a randomly issued license plate in the 70s that read "VIP 007." She gave that car to a sister who then totaled it, so we don't have the plate anymore :^(
You still have the number plate documents you guys still own the right to the license plate
@@robertprice952 Not if you took an insurance settlement.
@@robertprice952it doesn't work like that in America
@@AdultsAreTalking my bad then ,
The vanity plates part of this was great. Reminds me of a guy I know who has a 1990's California license plate with just the word "ANARCHY" on the plate. No numerical coding like "4N4RCHY" or anything, just Anarchy. He just convinced the DMV that the car was for his long-time girlfriend, Anne Archy, and he successfully got that plate. I'm gonna let him know it's probably worth big money.
Rad!
8:58 Someone really put a $10,000,000 plate on a Mini 😂
That's insane
That's a good point
Here in Alaska I've seen the non-personalized plates "GET 420" and "JET 911". I wonder how much they'd go for...
LMFAO that's some real dark humor right there
@apophisstr6719 I cringed when I first saw it. If the DMV had given me that number I'd have asked for a different one.
Jet 911 💀
@silverfischdotnet stuff like that are customed for the owner asking for the number. But the DMV has full discretion to determine what is good and whats not. They also try to stay up with all the slang and/or acronyms
@@SykotikShadow those two examples were NOT personalized plates.
In England you can only buy plates that have been officially released in the past and you can't choose to have anything you want. There is a big market for "cherished" plates which are bought and sold as investments. The best plate I know of in England is "A 911" which is owned by Porsche UK and is always on a Porsche 911 press car.
By the way - the reason these things sell for a lot of money is because they are often bought by corporations and used to offset tax. Same with luxury properties and yachts.
I mean you can get a personalised plate from the DVLA that you make yourself but it has to follow certain conventions.
I've once saw the F1 license plate at an auction website specialising in reg numbers. It was going for over £12 mill.
@@MAPLERO4D20that’s not true you can’t “make” a plate, you can only buy one that already exists
@@RatgibbonYh that 440,000 was the original price that it was sold for, the most recent price is £15,000,000
Not surprised it keeps going up.
i didn't even know there was a license plate black market
edit: i guess it's more of a grey market, i kind of thought so.
edit 2: now my comment doesn't make sense, thanks a lot for changing the title for no reason.
Same 😶
its a need-to-know
Not really black actually 😂
It’s on a need to know basis and it’s not really “black market” it’s a shadow market cause it’s legal.
That's what someone who knows all about the "black market" would say.
Point of correction here - the J4 license plate is not an English (ie from England) number plate, it’s a Jersey (Channel islands) plate. It’s an island between England and France, and it’s where New Jersey in USA is named after. The number plate “black” market here is crazy, lower plate numbers (4 digits and below) usually go for huge amounts, bonus points if it’s an interesting combination or sequence like a birth date/year, 1234, 123, etc. I know this because I’m a resident of Jersey. Nice video as always
Concur I came here to say the same. When I first moved to Jersey you could get a 4 digit plate for around £1000.
They also didn’t mention you can’t actually sell or buy plates either. You have to have them on a vehicle and sell the vehicle. The local auction house will list them as “4 digit plate attached to a vehicle of insignificant value”. Owners transfer them to an old banger and sell the car for plate value.
Also it’s Jersey Pounds not GBP (technicality).
@@dpt21 😂😂it’s the same value as GBP so we used it interchangeably anyway mate
"But I feel like you're trying to trick us..."
" *YES.* "
Jerry is so funny! Makes the show 10x better
I used to not like Jerry at first but now he's one of my favorites lol
FUN FACT
J4 was sold by the Lieutenant governor of Jersey to fund his estate. In Jersey, all of the licence plates start with a J and now go up to 6 digits.
I remember seeing 5 on a Renault 5 in Guernsey in the early 1990s
I quite often find 20-60 numbers in guernsey on the daily, I am also surprised they didn't do the 007 plate from guernsey
People who buy those license plates dont pay enough taxes.
Can we just give props to Jerry for time travelling to buy all this stuff, just so he could one day win random quizzes
Watching these with Jeremiah participating is like watching a modern F1 race with Max on the grid. "I wonder who will be in second?"
Delaware has a crazy market for license plates, they are all numbered plates with 2 digit tags going for 100s of thousands, 3 digits for 10s of thousands and even 4 digits for 5k+. And yes people will buy them as soon as they are up for sale
I was raised in Delaware. It always blows ppls minds when they find out how much we pay for good plates and even trade cars for plates. Lol
This is car trivia with the same rules as “ Who’s Line is it anyway “ 👌🏽🔥

I wonder what the oldest plate still in use today is? As in a vintage plate that kept getting transferred from car to car , in theory couldn’t you run a 1920s plate if your family kept transferring it for generations?
Not in the USA or Canada, where new license plates were issued annually and the old ones were illegal to continue to use. But in Britain, for example, a number is issued to a vehicle and then the owner purchases a manufactured plate with that number, which never had to be changed.
Jerry really Max Verstappening through this type of competitions lmao

no way i just clicked on a Donut Media video and then proceeded to watch a Borla exhaust commercial thinking the video already started
CONGRATS DONUT
Automobilia collecting is something that I’d like to get into
I love donut media. But why are your videos so short we don't mind watching a 30 -40 minute video 😅
Probably because 30-40 minutes worth of content takes weeks to write, film, edit etc. Donut might be a youtube channel, but it's still a business. They have to pay their bills, pay business expenses, pay all the guys' salaries, so making more frequent shorter videos makes more sense financially, than putting all their eggs in one massive basket and hoping that this one long video gets 10 times more views than a shorter video would get (which it wouldn't). More frequent videos also mean they can accept more offers from sponsors. It's their livelihood at the end of the day, they can't put food on the table with just your happy emojis and comments.
All of the above, plus the algorithm heavily rates you on "average percentage viewed" - a high percentage of people will watch all the way through a 10 minute video, but most folks would jump out before the end of a 40 minute one which would hurt their ranking

WAY back in 1978, while my mom was driving through Oakland CA, we found ourselves driving next to a car with a plate that read 007WIT. ( only three letters and three numbers back then) 1978 was before personalized plates. How much would Bond fans pay for that plate today?

There is a barn in Vermont that is completely sided with license plates. In Massachussettes you cannot keep your old plates (I do not know when they started that). In New Hampshire you cannot use an old license plate.

There was a plate in the UK that was PEN 15 it was recalled by the driving agency and removed from.the car it was on and taken out of circulation as a number plate. They try not release anything dodgy but sometimes a few get through.
