IMNAOMI
i hope the driver is named Naomi. Otherwise, i got nothing.
YAKUB - probably someone’s name but I couldn’t see the driver.
C L VIE
C’est La Vie!
Somebody someplace needs to get C L GRR to go with it.
Somehow I doubt it really was JON␣WICK’s car that I saw last night.

Saw two this morning
-
A Miami Heat basketball team booster plate with a Miami Heat license plate frame on a nondescript car w no stickers, etc. Those plates hold 5 characters and this one read TBAI. I have no idea.
-
A fairly new fairly high end BMW with ERTAT. “ER” might be “emergency room” as in hospital, but otherwise I got nuthin’.
Anyone have any ideas?
Could be ‘Treat and Turf’-a callous expression for do something to them then refer them to somewhere else to be someone elses’s problem.
On a nondescript Grand Caravan: PNCCSY No clue.
On an F-250 actually carrying tools and goods in the bed: OHHDADY
On the frame: Daddy’s money / But I’m Daddy.
Is that phrase used more in the context of
-
EDs providing (in the most economically wasteful manner possible) routine PCP / urgent care to the indigent and / or uninsured?
-
the ED’s real mission is to fix what they can, stabilize what they can’t, or lose the patient trying. IOW in two hours flat, either send the patient upstairs for admission, downstairs to the morgue, or out the front door to home. Whichever way it goes, it’s not the ED folks’ problem after that.
Big difference in the tenor of those two usages. Rough-hewn gallows humor applies to a lot of high stress high stakes jobs.
HZZY FIT on a Honda Fit. Nice one!
I saw a very rare two-fer today- on the same car! I was sitting at a four-way stop on my way home and the car to my left in the intersection had a front license plate. It caught my eye because a) Indiana doesn’t have front license plates and b) it was an old style of plate. It said NOHITTR. I wouldn’t have mentioned it here because that probably doesn’t count but when the car turned into the intersection I saw the rear plate said ACPTGOD. A very religious baseball player? I dunno…
Also this morning I saw EPIC2027. Someone has high hopes for the future I guess.
This afternoon, I saw a car with Illinois’ White Sox commemorative plates, with RDSOX – a reference, of course, to the Boston Red Sox.
What was even more interesting was that the owner had covered up the White Sox logo on the plate (see the sample picture below) with a sticker featuring the Red Sox logo – however, the Red Sox logo sticker was also white-on-black, which was undoubtedly chosen to both match the color scheme of the plate, as well as to not call too much attention to the likely-illegal addition of the sticker.
Scored a few today, but mostly uninteresting:
-
WWF⎵⎵PB on a snazzy F-type Jaguar. I couldn’t see the driver through the dark tint, but perhaps a retired World Wrestling Federation performer or exec with initials PB?
-
JDBAGO on a generic car. Somebody named e.g. James D. Bago-something-or-other?
-
GRATU on a police booster plate that holds 5 characters. Nondescript car. Another partial last name?
-
SYBAS on a shiny jacked up pickup truck with the 5-character surfing booster plate. No clue.
-
AARONS2 on a family wagon. Evidently the owner is named “Aaron”.
Not if they started performing after 2002 when WWF was renamed WWE because of a dispute with the World Wildlife Fund. I am old enough that I would associate WWF with, as we called it sometimes, wrasling, but absent other clues it could be something else entirely.

EXCAPED on a Ford Escape.
Couple of possibilities on that one. Maybe formerly Batman?
I forgot to post yesterday, I spotted WHAT DUH in the company parking lot. Or maybe it was spelled WAT DUH. It’s not fresh in my mind anymore. I think the other way is too many characters.
The first one could be correct. Space is often not exactly counted as a character, so if the maximum is 7, the maximum with one space is also 7

You and me both. “WWE” never really stuck with me as a good name for the McMahon sleaze-empire.
BOGOTA; Bogotá Colombia
Because of the Darien Gap in northern Colombia, which is impossible to drive or ride through, the owner had to have shipped his motorcycle to California.
This looks like a legitimate license plate. But still I’m skeptical.
Yeah, I think you’re right. There definitely was a space, and the first spelling is way I remember it, but then I second guessed myself.
