Default Cool Licence Plates

I've noticed a lot of good production pates on cars in Vancouver. The high end cars tend to have favorable licence plates (recurring numbers, lots of eights or zeros). Anyone know if a articular Autoplan dealer is hording them?

2 (二, ÈR) - LUCKY. The Chinese believe that doubles bring blessings. ...
3 (三, SĀN) - LUCKY. ...
4 (四, SÌ) - UNLUCKY. ...
5 (五, WǓ) - LUCKY/UNLUCKY. ...
6 (六, LIÙ) - LUCKY. ...
7 七, QĪ- LUCKY/UNLUCKY. ...
8 (八, BĀ) - LUCKY. ...
9 (九, JIǓ) - LUCKY.

520 (wǔ èr líng) - 520 is used for 我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ), which means " I love you" in Chinese. Sometimes Chinese people prefer texting this to each other as opposed to saying the phrase, "I love you."

88 (bā bā) - 88 is commonly used when signing off, to represent “bye bye”.

1314 (yī sān yī sì) - 1314 represents 一生一世 (yī shēng yī shì), which literally translates to "one life one world". This is often combined with 520 to get 5201314, or “I love you forever”.

555 (wǔ wǔ wǔ) - 555 represents 呜呜呜 (wū wū wū), which is the sound of crying.

To clarify you can transfer a personalized plate once per plate but only before it is attached to a vehicle. Once attached to a vehicle then it can only go to an immediate family member.
