Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
2541

Tonight I saw:

OLYA 5 on a Tesla. There was a frame that had something in Cyrillic on top, and “Russian Detka” on the bottom. I guess Olya is proud of her Russian heritage. It was driven by an older white man, but I thought Olya was a feminine name in Russian, so I assume maybe that was her husband driving. And I guess there are at least 5 other Olyas with personalized plates in California.

HNYB8JR on a GMC Sierra. At first I thought HNY was “honey”, but then I saw the JR on the end, which implies it’s a name. So maybe HNY is “Henrey”? Maybe Henery Bates, Jr? Or I was right the first time, and it’s “Honey Bee something something”? Honey Bee ate Junior?

2542

It’s probably Honey badger - Wikipedia.

An animal famous for its take no prisoners abject nastiness. Pound for pound, they’re in the world’s top few most ferocious land animals. In other words, the owner of that car is quite proud to be a raging asshole.

The grocery trip was good for two more today. Saw JIJI in the parking lot, I’m assuming that’s someone’s nickname. And then what I thought said TORONTO on the way home. It was raining and I never got quite close enough to them to be sure, but that’s what it looked like anyways.

My breakfast + groc trip scored 3. Neener neener. :zany_face:

  • PAWS2 on a FL wild panthers booster plate.

  • 1NKDMOM on a FL standard plate on a Jeep Cherokee wagon. Mom might be tattooed, but Dad was driving her car. And looked like a boring 60-ish paunchy whitebread guy. Mom was riding shotgun but was hard to see. Whether that should be read as “Inked mom” or “One (i.e. heavily) inked momma” is an interesting question. I had hoped to see enough of her as I passed to answer that Q, but she surprised me by not being the driver. Oh well.

  • JEEP⎵JOY on a FL standard plate. On a KIA Forester mini SUV. Evidently they got a new car. :woman_facepalming: I wonder if they’re joyful about off-roading, or her name is Joy?

RBITR8TR

I thought “rabbit” at first, but I was wrong! Presumably the owner’s job title.

2547

He’s a rabbit traitor. He’s gone over to the hound side, abandoning his hereditary brothers: the hares. The bastard! :zany_face:

2548

I saw this yesterday on a nice-ish SUV here in rural Missouri:

FL EARTH

They’re getting bolder, it seems.

2549

SLDXSOL Initials? Solid Shit Outta Luck?

2550

Seen today, on an Illinois plate (Chicago Blackhawks commemorative): EYRSH. :shamrock:

2551

Out running errands today I spotted:

CGRSWLD on a Ram pickup. I assume that’s Clark Griswold, the dad from the Vacation movies. It would really be more appropriate on a station wagon, but I guess as a modern American family even the Griswolds are using a full sized pickup to haul the kids around.

HELKATZ on a Honda Accord. Hell Cats, I presume. Or perhaps her name is just Helen Katz.

2552

M PATEL. I don’t think I’d ever put my name on my plate.

2553

KEVZ0 — another name. I know the owner and his name is Kevin.

2554

Saw

  • 01HEY on a 5-character equestrian booster plate on a generic SUV.
2555

I much prefer that it means “cougars wild”. Whether the owner is an older woman fond of young men or a young man fond of older women it represents a free spirit letting their flag fly.

We need more of that in this sheeple-filled zeitgeist.

2557

GHST GRY — yet another name? Ghost Gary? It could be Ghost Gray but the car wasn’t gray.

Added — what? Is today Name Day?

WU AM I — another name on their plate!

2558

“Ghost gray” was the nomenclature for some navy’s ship paint color.

Or, like my recent JEEP JOY on a Kia, this is a sign their previous car was that shade of gray.

2559

I’m afraid I read it as “one naked mom.”

2560

That’s what we’d want it to mean. :innocent:
