License Plate Deciphered

I know you've all been dying to find out what kind of car had the license plate SUSHIBX. I admit, having seen the car, I didn't realize how hard this one would be. But all the more fun, right?

Okay, so we had a couple of great guesses:

Sandy Shin randomly guessed (her own admission) a dark-blue Toyota Highlander. She got two of the three features right. It is not a Highlander.

Lenny Lee deciphered the coded license plate with the skills of a true detective. Sushi for a Japanese car, and Box for a box car. I know you've seen them . . . Honda Element, Nissan Cube. Literally boxes on wheels. But it's neither of those.

For the candy bar, Bob, the answer is a dark-blue Toyota Scion xB!

I have contacted both of the winners, and gleaned their favorite candy bar. Twix for Sandy, and Reeses PB cups (minis) for Lenny. However, in a twist, he has chosen the surprise option. Sorry, you'll have to wait until he gets it. I can't spoil the surprise.

Okay, that's a scary looking van. Almost looks like something out of a picture book. You know, the kind were the van starts talking and has all kinds of vehicle friends. ;)

It's shaped like a car a little kid would draw, hard to believe it's real!

I did think about those Cube cars when you suggested it! Congrats to the smarties, Lenny and Sandy.

Congrats to the winners. I wouldn't have guessed right.

Sandy said...

Thank you so much! This was such a fun game. And yay for Lenny! That's such great detective work. (My mind did stray to Toyota because of "sushi" -- but had no idea that "bx" = box. :))
