I'm far from a license plate expert but https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/dvs-content-detail.aspx?pageID=618 ( if no pic appear, click on the policies and procedures arrow ) and there is one like yours

Some also don't have the first number like yours

It also seems to be a Japan-spec Camry.

They don't really count as 'tourists' but living in the Washington, DC, area I see a lot of cars with Diplomat license plates. I see them so often that most of the time they're not even worth noting.

It's possible to tell which country they are registered to by the two-letter code used in the plate number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_license_plate_designs_and_serial_for- mats#Diplomatic_license_plates

Our new neighbors who just moved in across the street, for example, have Brazil diplomat plates on their Jeep Compass (DVJ).

I photographed this Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid with low-numbered Georgia diplomat plates near the US Capitol building in 2012:


The code I see most often is 'LN' for Saudi Arabia; not too surprising because a building near my office is owned by the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission to the US. Most of them are luxury cars or minivans. This one is a bit unusual:


Sometimes I'll see them on cars never sold in the US. This one caught my eye last night in the parking garage at the mall. It looks like any other Golf Mk4 sold here, but it has a Euro-spec bumper with a mounting bracket sized for Euro license plates, and this model was never sold in the US with the 1.6L; an exotic car hiding in plain sight. SDK indicates it is registered to the Embassy of Greece:

Both seen today; German tourists on a Volvo 940:



And a Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse with a plate that I cannot identify, though the format seems Dutch:

what is the rectangular light between the headlight wiper and the grille on the Volvo ? Fog light ?

No, just a darker part of the headlight.

Thanks Gamer.. i always thought it was a fog light installed in there.....

Now only missing Vermont and Oriental avenues

Maybe Oilers fan...maybe Flames fan.. either way, it's quite a road trip for shopping...



I already posted an Alberta plate before but decided to post this one because of the difference ( 4 numbers vs 3 on the other post )

Feeling like i'm playing Monopoly plates...
after the Connecticut one in mid-november, now an Illinois one

What happens in Vegas....comes to my local Walmart parking lot..

Carfax says Rubicon...and the Jeep dealer's name is Sahara.. quite confusing..

Equipped that way, maybe it takes some hikes near Area 51....

Seen in the past few weeks:
• An Irish Almera lost in Ariège. With a nice Boxer (dog) inside, although not really visible in this picture (see the 2 bright spots in the right part of the trunk, making it looking like a it a zombie-dog )


• A Romanian Boxer (truck, this time )


I saw an Italian VW T5 too, but it's a bit less unusual...

Eastern Europe's favorite light truck ! Because this is officially a light truck, with an official 3,5 ton payload, so it can be driven with just a "B" licence for local work.

But the tiny "bird's nest" on the roof gives a hint to the real use of this light truck : international transport towards western Europe, often loaded with five or six tons, with the possibility of some cabotage.

Wondering if it is related to this Pomme ...


Sorry for the quality.. dirty window and rain doesn't give the best results...

I wondered if the 2014 or later Chevrolet Silverado probably sold from Captain Quirk (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) (From Mad magazine's Star Blecch movie satire)

Did i missed a big news flash ? US ones should be MPH, no ?


I bet that poor thing is missing home..

Not that far away (480 km / 300 mi as the crow flies, 580 km / 360 mi by road), but not so usual here:


To be honest, when I think about cars from Monaco, I rarely associate the principality to a more or less 10-year old Clio Estate

Saw a Vermont one just before entering in the Walmart . No pic. i forgot my camera in the car.. and it was gone when i got out

And barely missed the Missouri one , i was about to go away when i saw the the unusual combination on the plate. Soon i'll have all the states/provinces where you can find a NHL team...

That one likes to travel..... was bought in Longueuil ( south shore of Saint Lawrence river, facing Montréal ) and now has a Manitoba license plate...

Lost in South-West of France in July, an Austrian tourist:


A Moroccan one:

(The 1 means a car from Rabat)

Rare here, a Swiss campervan:
