**MOD3L** on a Tesla Model 3 **SPATS** on a heavily modified Subaru Crosstrek **METZGR** - presumably the name Metzger, on a Porsche 911. ---

TWEZERS I assume tweezers, wonder if they are the kind of person who plucks eyebrows and such professionally. KEENER Might just be someone who’s keen, but might be because of their association with the Keeneland Race Track. They had some kind of distinctive plate, but I couldn’t see it well enough to be sure it was the Keeneland one. And MOODYI Presumably Moody one, but . . . that was a front KY plate, so it’s a novelty, not their real plate. ---

> [@Eureka](#): > > And MOODYI Presumably Moody one, but . . . that was a front KY plate, so it’s a novelty, not their real plate. Could it be associated with the Moody Bible Institute? They’re not in Kentucky (Based in Chicago), but it might be someone who went there. They’re a pretty Calvinistic evangelical bunch, which seems likely for Kentucky. ---

Could be. I just figured it was a person prone to mood swings or PMS. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Could it be associated with the Moody Bible Institute? That’s where my thought went on that one, as well. OTOH, a license plate on which one self-identifies as “moody” could be an issue if you get pulled over for road rage. 😉 ---

**GDWTHU** I was thinking it was one of the [Old Ones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cthulhu_Mythos_deities#Great_Old_Ones) before I noticed the plate was one of the _In God We Trust_ ones and the church sticker in the rear window. **ESC RMS** There are several escape rooms in the area. No indication which one this might have been for. ---

**HIKE AT** This is very likely not an incomplete sentence (hike at _where_, exactly?). Given where I live it is much more likely to be **Hike** [the] **A** [ppalachian] **T** [rail] Also, **NATRUL**. I guess the closer approximations were already taken. ---

On an otherwise unadorned red SUV: **BOX1092**. No idea, other than that’s the designation for a medium-size USPS priority mailing box. ---

**FLAXEN1** on some crossover. Yes, I checked out the driver and she did have long, blonde hair. **KLF LLC** on an Infinity sedan. I assume that’s a business the driver owns, but there wasn’t anything to indicate what KLF stands for. ---

> [@WildaBeast](#): > > **KLF LLC** on an Infinity sedan. I assume that’s a business the driver owns, but there wasn’t anything to indicate what KLF stands for. A quick look on the internet confirms that there are a LOT of Limited Liability Corporations whose initials are “KLF”. In fact, there are a lot with names like “KLF Billing LLC”, “KLF Merchandise LLC”, etc. ---

**SD FORD** - On a Ford F-150. I thought is would be a Super Duty, but that isn’t part of the F-150 line. **XPECTO** - The world’s most predictable magician. ---

BBFAN Probably a University of Kentucky fan. UK is often called Big Blue. And it’s fans ate the Big Blue nation. (Aldo, I think it was the UK specialty plate).
