Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

MR ROR… ? Hmmmm?

I POPOV on a Mustang convertible. “I pop off”? I guess that probably refers to the convertible top, but it kind of sounds like a dirty euphemism to me.

MM SAVRY on a new VW Beetle. Looks like we’ve got a foodie here.

I’m still on the Stanford campus.

SSUP M8. Whassup, mate?

If it was a pickup with an Easy Rider rifle rack, Hippy Hunt?

And today its brother, EYE4

PAVYS Pavy’s, perhaps?

I’ve been watching a Netflix series called Lincoln Lawyer about a star defense attorney. He drives around in Lincolns, including a sweet Lincoln Continental convertible. I think it’s a 1963 but I’m not an expert on those cars. Regardless, it’s sweet. Its license plate is NT GUILTY. He has two other new Lincoln SUVs. Lincoln Navigators, I think. Their plates are I WALKEM, and DISMISSD.

Pretty clever.

(Note that DISMISSD has too many letters, 8. California only has the capacity for 7, and these are California plates. The Dow is set in Los Angeles.)

Agree. And “happy hunting” applies to more than just harvesting wild animals. You can bargain hunt, pursue your preferred gender, etc.

This is more of a stretch, but it might also mean “Hippy Haunt”, as in “this vehicle is inhabited by hippies”. Or “happy haunt”. Or …


Which means what? Teh Googles do nothing much with “Pavy’s”.

PA might be “Pa” as father, grandfather, etc. Or Pennslyvania. Still I’m not coming up with much good on this one. Congrats on sighting a real headscratcher.

Or perhaps simply, the guy’s name is Pavy.

Scored 4 in one parking lot. For whatever reason this lot always seems to have pretty rich ore.

  • MOMMYME on a FL standard plate on a Porsche SUV. I got a look at Mommy and she was hotter than her car.

  • BETZ⎵⎵⎵ on a FL standard plate on a fairly new Corvette. Either the owner’s name, or a comment on his gambling luck. Which they’d probably describe as gambling skill.

  • WETH-CT on a FL standard plate on a Mercedes sedan. The CT is probably Connecticut. They’re from a town starting with “Weth”? Or maybe it’s “We th?ct”? Thact, thect, thickt, thuckt, ??? No real ideas.

  • GR8WRTR on a FL standard plate on a big SUV. The first part, “great”, was instantly obvious but the second part didn’t click for me immediately. Good bet it’s “writer”. I was stuck on “water” or “waiter”

Only spotted one this morning:

LTBEAM on a black Camry. “Light beam” I assume.

Spotted this morning on my daily walk. Parked side-by-side in the driveway:

MUFFIN EGGCRTN

Made me smile, anyway.

Likely Wethersfield CT.

E5 THRPY on a pickup truck with stickers saying E5 THERAPY, and USMC Sergeant stickers. A USMC Sergeant is an E-5 rank.

GYM FUSS

Okay.

White Jeep 4x4 with White Sox (black) plate, KIWII, all "I"s no “ones”.

Got a 2-fer in one pic this afternoon, without even trying. This is as close as we came to the Virginia TACO NET car after I got my phone out. I wouldn’t have bothered reporting Delaware JLK JR on the left but it came for free.
I couldn’t make out what any of those stickers were.

3 more:

TYGRRE — Tiger?
GBU — owner’s initials?
C MRY4MK — ?

JAWANNI — there’s lots of people here from India and Pakistan; maybe there’s a hidden meaning
2QT DOT — maybe Dottie is really cute! But the car was parked and empty.

Three-fer today-

SNO FUN in the parking garage as I got to work

ILVCHEEZ in the parking garage as I was leaving

NCC 2402 on the road on the way home

That last one is obviously a Star Trek reference but I don’t know to what.

I agree; NCC-#### is the format for the registry numbers of Starfleet ships. As far as I can tell, there’s no prominent ship in the Trek canon that was NCC-2402.

That said, apparently local chapters of a Star Trek fan club (STARFLEET International) identify themselves with that sort of nomenclature, so it might be a reference to one of those chapters.

GBU is DoD-speak for guided bombs. Maybe they work for an aerospace outfit that makes guidance kits.
