One of my favorites was a car out in Utah that I passed almost every day. The plate read **MYHODA**. I ddn’t get it until I noticed that the “N” had fallen off the back lettering of the car that was supposed to read **HONDA** ---

Oh, I definately got the Hair, MD meaning. Our ski tuner is Ski MD. But the MAGA-like phrasing, but not exact, on a Cybertruck (which is actually being used to haul something) makes me wonder what the rest of the story is. ---

ETA: this should have been a reply to the thread, not specifically @Telemark As to the **HAIRMD** CT … My take is it’s just somebody reusing the “make [whatever] great again” line. The vast majority of those I see are mocking, not praising, MAGA. Same idea as the bumper stickers reading “Visualize using your turn signals”. It’s mocking the once very popular “Visualize world peace” sticker without needing to mention it. It’s also very common in the hair biz to name your studio something punny. I see this as just another form of wordplay. Likewise the “UR” instead of “your” when there was plenty of room for the whole word. That’s LolCats-speak. Especially since they chose yellow and black rather than red and blue as their motif colors. Just somebody with a humor-forward style. As to why a CT? Darn good question. But the overall eye-catching nature and the slab-sided and slab-sterned shape of the thing makes it a nearly ideal rolling billboard. Slab front too. > [@DesertDog](#): > > JUSVIBN I’m going with “Jus’ vib’n” or more explicitly “Just vibing”. Meaning just chillin’ out, enjoying the good vibrations. I saw just 1 in the last couple of days. Spent most of the holiday off the roads. - \*\* KKBCH\*\* on a 5-character FL offroad driving booster plate on a newish 4-door Jeep Wrangler. Around here “BCH” is almost certainly “beach”. There are no KK-named towns anywhere in the state that I know of; certainly none here in the Metroblob. So someone’s initials I expect. ---

**7ANDRE** on a Mercedes sedan. Boring. I mean, at least 7 other people named Andre already had the idea to put their name on their plate.
