Number plates
I constantly try to make balanced equations out of car number plates substituting a letters numerical place in the alphabet for that number (i.e. A=1, B=2, and so on). In fact I've been doing it for so long that I can instantly tell you what the numerical value of any letter is and what letter a number is. 9'13 1 1914 7920, 9 11141523.

That last bit would be better expressed as
9'13 1 19/14 7/9/20, 9 11/14/15/23
as anything over 9 could be a bit confusing.

Fair enough...
And thus it should read: 9'13 1 19/1/4 7/9/20, 9 11/14/15/23.

You're absolutely right.
My typo.

hmm
In a somewhat similar but not really sort of way, I look at house numbers and license plates for good numbers.

My street address is 2891: 2+8 = 10 and 9+1 = 10, which for some reason gives me comfort. Also, my license plate ended with 2739, where 3*9 = 27. Also comforting.

Close..
But my mind shows me words that have the letters in the same order as the numberplates
