I've often requested the number 73. It was the number on my high school football jersey once I had been on the team long enough to get a permanent number and not whatever they handed out before game day.
Also, it's a prime number.
Any rhyme or reason for those digits on your doors–or, maybe, fenders or end plates? Superstition? Remembering an icon? Just luck of the draw?
Let’s hear it.

I autocrossed, then road raced with #27. I grew up in Quebec and it was the number Gilles Villeneuve used. I'm 68 years old now, and there's a picture of the man hanging in my den to this day. Even older guys have their heroes.
For rallycross, my Jeep has always carried #59. For the simple and slightly lame reason of it being a Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited.
404 power not found.
19, it was my baseball, football and lacrosse number in college.
14 - A J Foyt
I run the number 9 because it was the first number assigned to me. Now it's requested.
Playing basketball in high school I wore #25, in adult leagues I've been reassigned #5 "because I'm a 1/5 the player I used to be."
#27 because I'm Mr Oversteer.
88 because I like the symmetry of double numbers, and because it's the year I graduated from high school.
usually 619, because I sign up too late to get a decent 2 digit number, and its my birthday. I learned recently that it is also the number Stirling Moss ran on the Jag C-type with disk brakes that almost won the mille miglia, and now I'll probably ask for it more often.
