Scored just two today. Only one of which I remember and will therefore share. Senility is teh suxxor. I think. Maybe.
ILUVFAU on a standard FL plate background.
Florida Atlantic University being the local branch of FL’s decidedly weird ad hoc state university system. Summarizing mightily, post 1900 & especially post WW-II, the state bought up a bunch of small local private colleges to create their state university system. Which is still more of a loose alliance of competing sorta-equals than a single uniform cooperative system.
Many / most states have 2 (or occasionally more) major universities which share a strong cross-state rivalry. FL is no exception, with the University of Miami in the far south, the University of Florida in Gainesville in the middle-north, and Florida State in the capital, Tallahassee, in the far northwest being the Big 3 of a Big 4 or 5 lording it over the less significant ~10 other public and private universities.
In addition to the pro-FAU plate these folks sported a fairly common license plate frame seen here: Across the top it says “House Divided” and across the bottom is “Miami Gators | Florida Seminoles” in their respective logo colors.
So maybe Mom and Dad sent the kid to FAU to split the difference? Or maybe one of them works at FAU? Either way, I predict in-home fireworks whenever collegiate football or basketball is on TV.
Around here:
Not much traffic out today. So I just found one:
BARB1 on a 5-character ocean eco-booster plate on a Mercedes 2-seat convertible. The 50-something big-haired babe driving was pretty hot. And pretty enhanced. Truth in advertising really is a wonderful thing.
Decided to do my grocery shopping today since it’s supposed to snow tomorrow and was rewarded with MYSTEVI on Delaware plates (?!) and GMOM on a bright green sporty something or other in the parking lot.
BEE⎵NOW on a yellow New Beetle with black racing stripes.
MADIBA on a hulking Maybach SUV. A name?
VSNRY on a nondescript 5+ yo sedan driven by a nondescript 30-something guy. He might be envisioning greatness, but he doesn’t appear to be living it. Yet.
H3Y␣BRO if you need some SOLAC304REEL, try repelling over the RIDG3. Don’t worry about falling I’m ON␣BE1AY and if something should go wrong I am NUR34U. Be careful if you do it in Louisiana though, as you might get CAJUND!
There were some others I saw the last few days, but they didn’t stick in my brain long enough for me to post them.
Saw him again yesterday and he still revs like a douchenozzle.
Also saw two new ones:
UMLBB on a 5-character University of Miami booster plate. The “UM” part is easy, and I’m guessing LBB is their initials since AFAIK it doesn’t match the abbreviation of any degree. And doesn’t quite match the feel of the “MRDUX MRNO LIB … skit”
DBADM on a different 5-character university booster plate. I’m betting this person is in IT. Specifically database administration.
Had to go to the mall this morning. That would be a rant for the Pit thread but my teenage niece had a specific request for Christmas so like the good aunt that I am I dragged myself out there. I was rewarded with two custom plates. SEFER in the parking lot and NEATO on my way home.
EMPIIRE with two Is on a standard FL plate on a nearly new MB AMG G-wagon. I’m betting it’s a reference to the owner being from NY. Evidently their personal empire, of whatever nature, pays pretty well.
