Sure! The driver was referencing the similarity of the car’s all-red body and glass/convertible cabin to a puppet robot: A [Miata](https://historics.blob.core.windows.net/cache/9/2/4/0/7/f/92407fa863444e463d8d0034570f25193d1f648b.jpg), roughly from the year in question.

No picture, but I was stuck in traffic the other day behind a car with a plate reading BLUBARU. It was a blue Subaru. Made me smile anyways. ---

Waiting on the custom plates I ordered for my new (to me) car - “OUT OF”. It’s a Ford Focus. I love a good pun. ---

Love Cubs, on a Milwaukee Brewers plate. I can’t find the picture, I but I think I saw another brewers/cubs one the same day.

Saw a very interesting car / plate / person combo yesterday. I’m at the gas station. At the next island is a nearly new Mercedes Maybach V12. So a roughly $250K car. The man pumping gas is white, 60-ish, beefy and tall in a Bubba sort of way, is probably 250# with the tummy, has a shaved head and a medium gray unkempt beard. He’s wearing sneakers, gym shorts, and a black Harley Davidson wife-beater. He’d look perfect pumping gas into an older beat up hawg with 4 other similar looking bikers and hawgs, not some a brand new poseur bike, much less a Maybach. The license plate was **WHIZDOM**. I don’t know what he’s a whiz at, but evidently it pays fairly well. ---

I saw a Charger with NOFSGVN. How it made it past the state of Illinois censors is unknown. ---

Today, black-and-yellow California plate. It was either NBDDOGS, or NOBDDOG. ---

Saw a Lamborghini SUV (really!) with a custom paint job and one of those chips that make the thing fart and pop like a Model T whenever the driver lets off the gas. As if Lambo’s don’t already have enough exhaust note. His plate? **ITS FIRE**. ---
