I’m amused when watching Formula 1 and the commentators say that a car needs to make a pit stop to “put on a fresh set of boots.”
Saw a probably basic one tonight:
- ROBSUE on a FL standard plate on a Range Rover SUV. Probably he’s Rob and she’s Sue. If so, Rob was driving when I passed and Sue had shotgun.
Or maybe, just maybe, he’s Rob and he sues people for a living. Or got the money for the car as winnings in a suit where he was plaintiff, not counsel.
Tonight I saw IR DRUMR. I wonder if they’re a professional drummer, or just a hobby. It was on an old California “Sunset” plate (California lets you keep you old personalized plates when you get a new car, it’s an exception to the general rule that the plate stays with the car). So they must have been a drummer for a long time.
Poison placards. Class 2 is gases. Class 6 is other than gases. Truck is for an pest control company.
This morning I spotted:
- VICK MD, to which I responded “Hi, Doctor Vick!”, before realizing it might possibly be a reference to something in Maryland (Although I can’t find any Vicksburg or similarly named town in Maryland, so maybe my first instinct was right).
- ADI KG, on a Toyota crossover like a RAV4 or something, with nothing I could see to hint at what it might mean. No clue what it means. Initials maybe?
- MADDZLA on a customized Ford Focus hatchback. “Madzilla”, I presume.
The “KG” might be “king”. “ADI” could be Audi, but any connection to a RAV4 is pretty tenuous.
If the Ford Focus gave any signs of being owned by a woman, I could sure see a street racing hot-car driving woman named Madison or Maddie going by the nickname “Maddzilla”.
I scored one so far today:
CARINI on a Tesla Model 3. Could be a last name. Could be a respelling of Corinne if Corinne had a childhood nickname like (phonetically) Corinny or Coreeny.
But what gave me a chuckle was the thought that it’s really a respelling of “careen-y”. Either a commentary on how that driver drives, or how the Tesla drives itself. With lots of careening. 
Saw an odd one during my afternoon erranding.
It was an NY plate that seemed to be a booster plate for Indiana University. Had their big distinctive superimposed I and U logo. The plate identification was GO 4 IU, which made sense versus the plate background.
I assumed I’d misrecognized the logo and it must be some NY in-state college, perhaps “Ithaca University”? Nope. Come to find out the NY DMV does have booster plates for some out-of-state universities: Indiana, Penn State, and Michigan. Here’s IU’s page: Indiana University | NY DMV.
Color me surprised.
4FISH ON, on a pickup truck. We know where they spend their weekends.
This was odd: M3 444 on a Tesla S. No clue what that’s about.
On a Subaru Crosstrek, CA plate with a Green Bay frame: DA_PCKRS. A Wisconsin transplant?
I know that I’ve seen the Penn State NYS plate, and also surprised about the Indiana U plate. Quite a number of NY students go out of state to Penn State, or schools that don’t have plates like UConn.
There’s an Ithaca College, not a university, a relatively small school.
The plate I saw today, on a white sports car:
OMW2YOU
On my way to you, probably.
Dat dere is blasphemy, dat is wut dat is. Dere should be no combining da langage of Chicago with dose dirty rotten stinkin’ cheese packers.
Is there a special meaning for 444? Because later this afternoon I saw VB 444.
In proper Northern Wisconsin dialect, it should be DEM_PKERS. 
The Googles suggests that the woo brigade considers 444 (or 4:44) sorta the angelic positive sparkly opposite to the Xian’s 666 dark sign of the devil / beast.
So perhaps your plate owners are signalling their woo-ish credentials and that they and their car are protected and powered by special angels. Or something like that.
Beyond that small research I have no other ideas.
The grocery store parking lot is usually good for a plate or two and today was no different. TDH JD - nothing too exciting, just someone’s initials who is probably a lawyer. But what made it interesting is that it was on an Ontario plate. Don’t see too many of those around here even though it’s only a couple hours drive.
- ANODIC on an out of state plate on an ICE (non-EV) car. The chemistry reference is obvious, but the next layer of meaning is a mystery to me.
I saw L E PHNT today on a gray SUV.
NOHOCHUL, in NY State, on a NY plate (sorry, I’m no good at cars and didn’t think to try to identify make and model.)
Hochul, for out of staters who might not know, is currently governor of NY, and shortly to run for reelection. She’s a Democrat. I find her unreliable on environmental issues, but she’s pretty good for fighting against Trump; and her opposition is likely to be even worse on environmental issues.
2BNAH2B. That is the question.
Aah okay. Thanks.
Scored 2 yesterday:
-
DOWN⎵DOG on a FL standard plate on a family wagon driven by a lithe young woman. Evidently a yoga devotee. (FYI “down dog” is a basic yoga pose).
-
WISHAKA on a FL standard plate on an SUV. I had no idea when I spotted it. Some googling suggests it’s a word or name used in both Indonesia and India. So perhaps the driver’s name?
