In the first two seasons the license plate KAZ 2Y5 is a Kansas plate denoting the show's first year, 2005. Later on it changes to CNK 80Q3 when they are hiding from the FBI. Is there any significance to this license plate? CNK is apparently an Ohio plate, but besides that 80Q3 is a mystery to me. Also, are there any other plates they use for an extended period of time?

Expanding just a little bit on my comment: People, places, and things in the Supernatural universe are often named for the series' creators, producers, writers, and/or other cast members. Bobby Singer, named for Executive Producer Robert Singer, is one prominent example. While I have not found anything to authoritatively state this is the case for the license plates, that's probably a good direction to look. You may also be interested to know that

Well, I can think of an explanation for the first plate in the series, KAZ 2Y5, though the others are a mystery to me. Although the K could just be Kansas, it is also the first letter of the creator's, Eric Kripke's, last name. The 2Y5, well, the Y could be year, 2 - - 5, the show began in 2005. But this is all very much conjecture on my part, it is just something that I had noticed and pondered as well. :) |

The origins of Castiel “Cassiel (Hebrew, Qafsiel Kaziel) is the Latin name of an archangel in post-biblical Judeo-Christian religion, particularly that of the Kabbalah. Unlike many other angels, Cassiel is known for simply watching the events of the cosmos unfold with little interference. He is the angel of solitude and tears, and is said to preside over the death of kings.” Yeah who does that sound like? Also, his nickname is spelt Cass, although Castiel only has one s. The actual angel’s name has two s’. Now look at the Hebrew name: KAZIEL And what’s the Impala’s license plate read? I feel smart now |

If you think about it, 2Y5 could bye. B is the second letter in the alphabet and E is the fifth. So maybe it could mean Bye Kansas or something. When I first thought at that, I litteraly couldn't stop checking if it still matched :p |

KAZ 2Y5at some point, but it's just not very important to the plot - I don't think I ever registered that it actually changed... – Izkata Jul 28 '12 at 21:27THE KRIP- obviously a reference to creator Eric Kripke, if not actually a car that he owned. – Iszi Jul 29 '12 at 17:20
