IDK how numberplates work in Ireland. Care to explain?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The first two numbers are the year the car was ~~bought (or made?)~~ registered, as @TWeaK@lemm.ee pointed out . In this case, 2025 since the number plate starts with 25.

The numbers are the year it was registered. The car could sit on the lot for months before being registered, or the car could be made to order months+ in advance and delivered fresh from the factory and registered immediately. But the registration comes after the purchase for a new vehicle, and doesn't necessarily happen at the same time.

Either way though, he might have bought it last year or so, but that was hardly before Elon went crazy.

I like to point out that he's always been a fascist, people just didn't pay attention.

His dad's been in the press as a racist for decades. His maternal grandparents were part of the Technocracy conspiracy (yes, really) and fled Canada for South Africa in the 50s, and his grandmother played a role in raising him.

He's a born and raised fascist from a fascist family, he just played yall for suckers.

My thoughts exactly. The only way you could have bought one before he went crazy is if you bought one before he was born.

I mean, all the examples you give are about his family. Are there any for him personally?

Yes obviously his entire public record, the shit everyone knows. I was pointing out the apple fell from a rotten ass tree
