Today I saw a 4-door Jeep Wrangler with the full off-road / camper rig installed. Very nice, but suspiciously clean and unscratched. Anyhow the plate read **LOJHN**. The driver was male and judging from his seating position and posture seemed unusually tall. So “Long John”? ---

No photo, but I saw a plate this morning on a minivan which read **NANA X 20**. It was being driven by a elderly couple, so I’m guessing it belongs to the grandma of 20 grandkids. ---

Two that I saw today: - A Jaguar convertible: OBLIMEY - and a grey convertible: T - BOH (I assume the driver’s name is Thibeault.) ---

I don’t know how you guys can take pics while driving, I just don’t have those skills. In front of me at a light, some light blue sedan, didn’t catch what it was but had a plate, “passed u”. I only stayed behind them long enough to read the plate and then had to go around them because they were way too slow. ---

I use the iPhone’s burst shutter. I aim in the general direction and keep shooting bursts while focusing on driving. It is easy and not unsafe. ---

Friend’s plate. It’s the unusual, but correct, phonetic pronunciation of her last name, Uecke. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/ROMTddK.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/ROMTddK) ---

There’s enough icky goopy stuff that medical pro’s deal with that her choice of specialty plate is doubly appropriate. Very clever. Speaking of “clever”, I’m getting a new car. It’ll be here in a few weeks. For which I’m going to spring for both a specialty background and personalized letters/numbers. Once I take a pic I’ll post it and see if anyone can solve the brainteaser. Might be easy, might be a crowd-stumper. We’ll see. ---

A few weeks ago I saw the perfect general purpose, transferable license plate (on the yellow lettering on black California plate): IMA CAR A little earlier today, I saw this license plate: PR ⭐YMRE (with the star) It was on a late model Mercedes S550 🙄 ---

I’m going to guess, based on the color, that “RMBLB” is short for “Rumble Bee.” Also, I had to look up what that license plate type is: it’s a Wisconsin plate, commemorating the Road America motorsport racing course in Elkhart Lake. The odd shape on the left side of the plate is an outline of the race course. ---

The odd shape on the left side of the plate is an outline of the race course. That was my thought as well. On a yellow car w black stripes it really sings. And thanks for looking up that specialty plate background. I was baffled at what that outline was. It resembled Michigan just enough to leave me utterly confused. > [@peccavi](#): > > PR\_Y M\_RE > > Would you like to buy a couple vowels? > > “I’m rich because I pray. You’re poor because you don’t pray enough.” (rolleyes) In an even more evil interpretation, the owner is a megachurch or TV preacher. He’s (good bet it’s “he”) exhorting everyone around him to send more money to him. In either case, F\*\*\* that noise.
