**EVOIL** is a good one. Clever! ---

On a large black Chevy SUV (probably a Tahoe, but no indication of the model on the back): **DOVEBUS**. Now, this was a NY plate on Long Island, so nowhere near the Dove Bus transportation company that appears to operate out of Nashville, TN. And, belying its plate, it was being driven like a bat out of hell (in heavy traffic). ---

Saw **G0⎵8QDY** on a newish Corvette. We don’t actually have O on our plates; all the ohs are zeros.’ I don’t _think_ that plate is a standard pattern, so it’s “Go body” ---

Sorry to multi-post here. Drew a blank for a few minutes on one I saw today, but I just remembered. Saw a newish Lexus sedan with **I⎵DCLUTR**. Had magnetic signs on the doors for a de-cluttering service. Evidently that work pays well. ---

Saw a white Lexus small SUV. Standard FL plate background w **HAPY⎵WYF**. I was not able to see the driver nor whether they had kiddie car seats and munchkins aboard. ---

Saw a car w the anti-abortion activist plate which has a 5 character max capacity. **CTLOV**. The “love” part is pretty clear. No great ideas about “CT”. “Completed to term”? ---

Saw on a Mini-Cooper. **PUSHCAR** Not sure if it was a descriptive noun, or a request. ---

Saw **PETEY P**. I don’t know what the Spiderman-mobile looks like, so I don’t know if this guy’s last name was Parker. Another noteworthy thing about it was the car was the same year, make, and model as mine. Of which there are rather few. At least his was a different color. ---

That would be cute if true. There’s a whole conversation to be had about the “wifey” trend these days, but here isn’t the place for it. ---

A) Is that one of those digital license plates? B) You can add custom text to them? ---
