5 is stability, 8 is money/prosperity. In Singapore, I think they actually lottoed (is that a word?) license plates with 8's in them while I was there. Also, some dude paid an outrageous fee to get the "888888" (or however many digits they are) plate.
Of course, this could all be a caffeine induced memory/dream. It's been a while. I also had a friend who would drive around in the parking lot (where each spot was numbered) looking for one with an 8 in it. He would NEVER park in one with a "4". I think phonetically, "death" and 4 are the same in the Chinese language?
