Maybe the driver is an ancient Roman who likes money. ---

> [@ftg](#): > > So, the driver gets into a bad wreck. The EMT’s arrive and see the plate. Do they do nothing? I doubt you’re after a serious answer – but, even aside from possible questions of what DNR means, they’d have no way of knowing whether the driver was who chose the license plate. You can get DNR bracelets to wear; I don’t know whether all EMT’s honor them but, unlike a car plate, they at least clarify that issue. ---

ALEPH1 Saw it near the university campus. I presume a math professor? I did not check what type of car it was. I hope it was an Infiniti. ---

@Joey_P your guess is as good as mine. Earlier today a Mini Cooper (modern one) that was a bright lime green. I doubt it’sa stock color. The driver looked Irish, from a brief look on the freeway. Its plates: **LIMEE** ---

Yesterday morning at a Porsche Cars & Coffee, several people brought their Porsches. As did we, but our plate isn’t personalized, it is a Year-of-Make plate for our 1963 356. **JO’S 356C** — (with inserted apostrophe) Carl brought the only other 356 today besides ours. The car belongs to his wife, Jo. **987 GTRS** — the second generation Boxster is designated as type 987. They made a GTS, and there was also an RS version. I’m not quite sure how this tires together. **9927SPD** — the type 992 is the current version of the Porsche 911 — it is the 8th generation. And this one has a 7-speed manual. **AIRQUUL** — for AIR COOL, the type 993 is the 4th generation 911 and is the final air cooled 911 Pictures here ➜ [https://imgur.com/gallery/BDfqZRT](https://imgur.com/gallery/BDfqZRT) ⇦ ---

I saw **NVR 8NUF** today. The placement of the plate logo in the center sort of garbled the look of the **8** so it’s close enough to the **E** that was probably their intention. ---

I managed to read it as Never Snuff. Maybe from someone who got cancer from their snuff. ---

Well give yourself a break. It turns out that JPN is the ISO-3166 country code for Japan. I drove a Jeep for 10 years and didn’t think it was for Jeep. ---
