**2POODLZ** No stickers or license frames to clarify things but was one really necessary? ---

I don’t remember the details of the vehicles they were attached to but I saw **LUBBY** on the way to work and **05 MAY** on the way home. ---

On a Toyota SUV: **GO RAMZZ**. With an L.A. Rams license plate frame in case there was any doubt. And **NSWER** on a Genesis G70. I’m not sure what the nquiry might have been. ---

**HOTRODH** on a new looking Subaru Impreza that looked completely stock to me. Maybe their other car’s a hot rod? Or maybe the engine actually is actually hopped up and they’re going for the “sleeper” look (although advertising that on your license place kind of defeats that). ---

**100BUCKS** on an aqua convertible. (Didn’t catch the make.) He’s not gonna feel like a hundred bucks if he keeps driving like that (and the bill won’t be that small, either). ---

**FAN4VER** on an Arizona Cardinals plate. There was no room for a second E even if it was available and I assume **EVR** was long gone. ---

Good haul today… **ANTTTT** in the grocery store parking lot **PHOTRK** as I was leaving the store but not on a food truck selling pho And on the way home **66GHOST** on an absolutely gorgeous white Ford Fairlane. I wanted to get a picture but the light changed before I could get my phone out. ---

On a rural Kansas highway this afternoon: **9ERGANG** The 49er logo on the back window gave me a clue. ---

Over the past few days: **DAZLLE** on a Lexus RX 350, on a CA 9/11 memorial plate. I assume it’s a strange spelling of “dazzle”. There was also a frame that read “Land of the free because of the brave”. Not sure if that’s related somehow. **EXI** on a Tesla. No clue on that one. Initials, maybe? X isn’t exactly a common initial, though. **AMPMCM** on another Tesla. AM/PM is a regional convenience store chain out here, but I don’t know what CM would be in that context. Or is it AMP MCM? **7B 505** on a Tacoma. My guess is a reference to Exit 7B from Interstate 505. There is an I-505 around here but I didn’t bother checking a map to see if that exit exists. **OW D OZ** on an Audi S5. Say it out loud. OW D = Audi, but I’m nod sure what the OZ means. ---

> [@WildaBeast](#): > > **OW D OZ** on an Audi S5. Say it out loud. OW D = Audi, but I’m nod sure what the OZ means. Perhaps it means “Adios” pronounced in a faux Cherman accent? An S5 is a moderately hot car that’ll leave most others in the dust, their drivers struggling to comprehend the rapidly disappearing license plate. G’Bye!! ---

I’ve been away from the USA for awhile, so no sightings while gone. But I had a couple just before going and a couple since: - **ASWINI**. I don’t remember much about this one, but it was a generic car and a maybe south Asian driver. Probably somebody’s name. - **GTRFN** on some sort of car with a University of Florida Gators booster plate frame. So a Gator Fan. - **XMASY** on a generic SUV. They had a couple of other tailgate stickers, but nothing that called to mind Ol’ Saint Nick.
