Sticker on Ferrari rear bumper (early episodes)
Anyone notice the white bumper sticker with a 5 and what appears to be a shamrock or 4 leaf clover on the right side rear bumper of the Freeari in early episodes? In Three Minus Two" we see a similar sticker on one of the junked cars at the police impound yard when Magnum and TC are checking out the burned out car. Does anyone know what thes are?

I have also noticed the sticker on other cars during other episodes as well. I always assumed that it was a State of Hawaii motor vehicle inspection sticker. I do not know this for sure, but it is my best guess. In Florida, we used to have mandatory inspections for all motor vehicles (no longer have this requirement) and you were required to display the inspection sticker on your vehicle. In Florida, we had to display it on the bottom left of your windshield, or as Higgins would say, windscreen.N1095A wrote:Anyone notice the white bumper sticker with a 5 and what appears to be a shamrock or 4 leaf clover on the right side rear bumper of the Freeari in early episodes?

With a little internet search I discovered that Hawaii does in fact require an annual vehicle safety inspection, and the sticker is displayed on the right rear bumper. I assume this is what is seen on the Ferrari and other vehicles. I have been unable to find any photos. Does anyone know what the design to the right of the number is? Shamrock? 4-leaf clover? Something else entirely?

There is a pretty good shot of the inspection sticker in the episode "Limited Engagement" (Season 4). You will see it on the LaSalle sister's car either just before or just after they run over the fire hydrant.

I guess great minds think alike. I watched that episode today and saw the same thing. I think the design after the number falls into the "Something else entirely" catagory. I couldn't make it out clearly enough to tell what it was. In case you haven't guessed, I was thinking of making a duplicate "5" sticker.IslandHopper wrote:There is a pretty good shot of the inspection sticker in the episode "Limited Engagement" (Season 4).
