> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > I’d be a little surprised if Iggy Pop actually had his name on his own license plate, I had the same thought. Then I had the opposite thought. It’s perfect camouflage; what person would think a celeb would put their name on their car? But if I know that you know that I know that you know … Arrgh! 😉 Seriously, I’m confident it’s not him. ---

Saw an ancient but well-preserved 1980s Lincoln Boatmobile driven by an ancient but well-preserved 1940s woman. Her FL standard background plate said **GEEDY⎵UP**. You go, girl! And keep goin’! ---

Funny how you can go a few days without seeing any then in a day you see 4 or 5 despite driving about the same amount in the same area. Saw a Tesla Model 3 with a FL standard background plate that read **TORIS**. Might be a last name, might be an astrological sign, or it might mean “Tori’s” and the owner’s name or nickname is Tori. That’s a pretty standard short form for Victoria. Later saw a generic SUV with a FL standard background plate that read **LOSKIII**. Looks kinda like “Low skill”, but unless **LOSKILL** was already taken they could have used ells, not eyes on the end. Otherwise I got no ideas. ---

I started driving in the 1970s during the oil crisis. Love the **-NOPEC** plates! And then I saw **MYBE IDK** on a Volvo. [![](https://i.imgur.com/UjXgLq0.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/UjXgLq0.jpeg) ---

TOFFAT5, the spacing made it more obvious that it’s “tee off at 5”. I also saw MI YOOP on a Michigan plate. I don’t know how well known that is, but a Yooper is someone from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. My ex-MIL is a yooper and still has family up there, so we’d go up there every few years. The Munising/Marquette/Iron Mountain area is all really nice. ---

Just saw **HEZ RZN**. Which didn’t immediately click with me until I picked up on the various Jeebus stickers also on the car. Almost certainly “He is risen”. Perhaps He could give you driving lessons? ---

Well, He drives like a man accustomed to donkeys that top out at 5mph unless spooked. 😉 ---

Yesterday I saw a Tesla with a WUTS GAS plate. ---

Someone in the parking garage at work has **JSS SVS** which I assumed was just someone’s initials until I noticed the churchy bumper stickers. Jesus saves… This is Colts/Bears country so seeing **GOO PATS** is a little unexpected. GO PATS must have already been taken. ---

Seen at the local horse race track: RACN1 Makes sense, in context. ---

The more that toxic overbearing masculinity becomes the order of the day in some factions, the more we will see toxic submissive femininity appear as well. Uggh! I had a good haul today: 6 plates. - A BMW M3 with a 5-character max plate background with **CUTTY**. Maybe he likes cheap scotch? - A new Infinity SUV with a standard FL plate background with **JMR⎵WTC**. Some sort of memorial for somebody killed on 9/11? Otherwise no clue. - A raggedy older windowless white work van with ladders on the roof racks. Sorta had an air of desperation about it. But with the cheerful FL plate **ALOHA⎵2U**. That’s a man who’s got his mind right in a mellow place. - A Jag F-type convertible with a 5-character max plate background with **IMNRG**. He lives in my building and he, like his car, is a compact high energy dude. But all his energy is anger and misplaced gratuitous aggression. Suffers from excess RW propaganda I suspect. The car just suffers from Lucas electrics. - A generic late model SUV with a 5-character max plate background with **IMGOL**. The plate frame was for one of the state university schools of medicine. - Alongside **IMGOL** was a newish Camaro with a standard FL plate with **BEST⎵PA**. Not sure if that’s physician’s assistant or father. Or Pennsylvanian. The driver was male, so could been either. ---

Scored 2 more today: - BMW Mini with **TTOUT**. “TT out?”. But what’s TT? - Ford F-150 with the FL “save the turtles” license plate background and some other turtle-saving bumper stickers & such. Plate said **GOAL⎵MET**. Maybe the goal was to save X number of turtles, or he made quota as a salesman and the truck was his reward? ---
