NY license plates **BE W31RD** and **UROKGRL**. I sent a picture of the latter one to my adult daughter. Also **MXNACE** and **STQLEN** , parked side by side at a fast food restaurant. ---

…and a nice bookend to yours: **XTUB8** , with the rest of the plate defining at as a respiratory therapist’s. (Still NY by the way) ---

I guess when all the other versions are taken you have to go with **EEVEE2** on your KIA IONIQ. And if you **CR8␣LUV** maybe you won’t be **HOUNDED** all the time. `//i\\` ---

Saw **BLU BLU** on a very bright blue small SUV. ---

Two more today: - A generic sedan with the FL whale conservation booster plate with 5 characters max. It read **PESIN**. Huh? - A white Tesla Model Y with the standard FL plate with **PMKN⎵PCH**. “Pumpkin patch” is pretty obvious. But the connection to the car or the owner is not. Had the sorta plump car been orange I would have seen the connection. But white? Nope. ---

I saw **BLAZERS** tonight. It was not on a Blazer, it was on a bright blue Honda Civic. ---

Seen while driving home from my parents’ house in Wisconsin this afternoon: - On a C8 Corvette: **HTWHL** (“Hot Wheels,” pretty clearly) - On a big SUV: **PWRWHLZ** (“Power Wheels,” a brand of battery-operated ride-on kids’ cars) ---

Earlier today I saw **BUGGMEE** on a classic Beetle. I assume the spelling without the extra letters was already taken. ---

Saw **2CUTE** in the parking lot at my hair salon this morning. No idea if it was one of the stylists or another client. ---

I saw **DLOVELY** mini cooper. Maybe they were referring to the driver, but I could not see inside as it drove off. If you are **FXN2GO** on a stroll maybe talk to the (w) **4LKERS** (The w came from the Washington Nationals logo). From what my friends say there are some quite nice trails in **SUISS3** as well as good food and beer. Two mysterious plates (at least to me) **SKI-PT** and **AM⎵IX** The fist is related to SKI I would guess and the second could be someone’s name I suppose, but it seems more like something that refers to something specific. `//i\\` ---

Saw a couple … - A pickup with **PILOT⎵CB**. And a handicapped hang tag. - A Hummer pickup with a 5-character Miami Heat basketball booster plate that said **AKEMY**. No idea. - A SUV with Colorado plates reading **688688**. The only thing that comes to my mind is that 688 was the designator for the **[Los Angeles-class submarine - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles-class_submarine)**. The driver was the right age and sex to have served on the LA or one of its 60+ sisters. ---

An interesting one on a generic SUV today … - **B⎵DULCE** on a standard FL plate. The plate frame was fun too. The top said **NASA** in large bold print. The bottom said “I Need My Space”. All sorts of droll clever. ---

I would hazard to guess that **4ROZEN** is a fan of the movie, but I do not have to guess that **I␣MS␣WVU** loves their Alma Mater. It is important to just **GO&BE** as you **WEEB-IN** different spaces. I am not sure what **C3S-LALA** and **ALL-4-S4** are all about, but at least the former is having a laugh. `//i\\` ---

Couple more today - **VINZO** on a 5-character surfer booster plate background on a pickup truck. I overheard the waitress there talking to a dude she called “Vinnie” who looked like a pickup truck / surfer kinda guy. - **GME⎵YOLO** on a standard North Carolina plate background. “YOLO” is easy. The “GME” is harder. “Go Me”, “Game”, “Gimme”, etc.? - **NOGGY05** on a standard FL plate on an orange Mini Clubman filled w college kids. Somebody’s nickname no doubt, but I have no clue about the origin. - **BYE⎵GAS** on a standard FL plate on a red Tesla Model X. ---

> [@icon](#): > > **WEEB-IN** “Weeb” is a slang term for someone who is a fan (sometimes to the point of obsession) with anime, manga, and Japanese culture. It was originally considered to be derogatory, but anime fans have adopted it and some use it with pride these days. So, on that plate, it may be being used in that context, by someone who’s a fan of Japanese culture.
