Rica vida is also “rich life” or “good life”. Although vida rica would be correct Spanish word order. As the song almost goes, “Livin’ la vida rica”
As to why no “I” in there, the best bet is somebody else already has “RICA VIDA”. The next person wanting that saying stuck with RCA VIDA since now we know RICA VDA is taken too. Or we get into the “R1CA V1DA” permutations of number one subbing for letter aye.
Does NY allow 8 characters with an embedded space, or only up to 7 with an embedded space? Some people would prioritize putting a space between words ahead of using all the letters but having to run the words together. So “RICAVIDA” or “RICA VDA”; which is clearer? A matter of opinion.
Yes, I noticed the reversal of order, which is probably why Google suggested it had to do with the magazine using that order. And I believe NYS counts the space as a character toward the max of 8.
I could also be Bellas which in Spanish is the plural of Bella (beautiful). I have seen many times where the 3 is used in place of an S either in order to obscure the meaning or just because the one version with the S is taken.
It was actually on a newish Toyota Tacoma, which doesn’t fit that stereotype at all, but I guess anything’s possible (I mean, I’ve seen Priuses with NRA stickers before). I didn’t mention the vehicle because I didn’t think it was relevant for this one, but I guess this is a lesson on why one should never assume anything.
My assumption is that the plate is a coded message from the owner / driver to the world. And everything else we can learn about them contributes to our being able to decode the message as intended. Location, car details, license plate frame, stickers, appearance of driver, etc.
Sometimes details don’t matter. Sometimes plates have obvious decodes.
And sometimes details mislead. Heck, my sighting of GSD RESQ reported yesterday was an example of that. I saw the converted cop car and ham radio antenna and conditioned all my decoding efforts around that image of a first responder type. Not around dog fanciers. Oops on me.
SPIN5 on a FL Panthers NHL booster plat on a Bentley SUV. Defenseman Erin Eckblad is the current bearer of Panther’s #5 jersey. Might be his car. Or a fan’s car. Not sure what “spin” might mean in any context.
BCA⎵RDY on a FL golf booster plate on a white generic SUV. “RDY” as “ready” is pretty obvious. “BCA” is harder. Might be the name of a local town with some golf courses. I don’t know of a tournament by those initials.
Just ran across AUTO ART on a shiny clean but otherwise ordinary Chevy Suburban or similar. There’s an auto painting & customization shop by that name a few burbs over. Might be theirs.
I work from home on Fridays, but I just looked out the window and saw IFOLSM on a Lexus crossover parked on the street. Folsom is the name of the town I’m in, so that is the obvious explanation.
IXHXI on a Porsche 911. IXXI, I get that, but the H? The Orange came out and when I asked him he said it’s just a spacers between IX and XI. I don’t know if I buy that.
