Countach Downdraft 1985 to 1988.5

poor quality images that I took with a low quality camera in 1991 at an auto show in Vancouver, BC, but sharing given the rarity of the blu tahiti color downdraft.

If I get your plate number, can I actually do anything with it?

Of course, the answer here is no, you cannot, and it's all thanks to a guy named Jim Moran, whose Wikipedia page "Controversies" section is longer than my resume. So who exactly is this Jim guy? Some crazy freak who used a plate number to harm someone? Some deranged person who stalked a woman with a plate number?

No, he was a congressman from Virginia who passed a law that banned this sort of thing.


The law is called the "Driver's Privacy Protection Act," and it was signed on September 13, 1994, by President Bill Clinton, who later remarked that he wished he hadn't signed it because "I never would've hooked up with Monica if I knew she drove a Neon."

Anyway: the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, or DPPA as it was affectionately nicknamed by the Legislative Committee for Affectionate Nicknames, prohibits the disclosure of personal information gathered by motor vehicle departments. The result is that the most information a person with your plate number could possibly get is the make and model of your vehicle. Not your name, not your address, not your date of birth, not your social security number, not whether you had feathered hair in the '80s, not whether you reach for slices of bread at restaurants but then put them back when you find out it's an end piece, etc.

So basically you have nothing to worry about when a normal person sees your license plate number, unless of course they have some sort of access to DMV records. Fortunately, this access is limited to the most upstanding members of our community – cops, lawyers, process servers, DMV employees named Alice whose fake fingernails are the size of television remotes – and that means it's pretty hard to get.


So is it possible that the person you screamed out will cut you off and track you down? Technically yes. But then it's also possible that I will wake up in the morning after a full night's sleep, look down, and discover that I have become a refrigerator.

 

The car was pearl white and destroyed in the late 90's in France after a meeting of the French Club, on the road back to UK.

 

They look like Panna, far away from mint green...

You can definitely see the mint green-ness of the interior in the photo in post#7939 above. The car was certainly pearl white, not just white.
