Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

Yep. The ‘Texas Cadillacs’ — pickups and Chevy Suburbans.

5 more:

FASOAGA on a very nice BMW M4.
ZUMEES. For zoomies, perhaps?
1 GLFDOC. Obvious.
WAWA SKR. A water skier?
SAMMY LB. Another name. Lots of names out there…

That’s probably a lady weightlifter / bodybuilder.

Yeah that’s probably it.

This thread reminds me. I used to work with a guy who likes to drive spiritedly. He had this plate, and he made sure it was also mounted on the front of his car:
T1 3VOM
Pretty clever!

If you can read this you’re in my way!

Kinda like the opposite bumper stickers that say something like

If you can read this you’re following too close

Exactly. The only thing missing is an exclamation mark.

I sure share that fellow’s sentiment.

Saw one more interesting one today.

  • J5STAR2 on a FL standard plate on a nice SUV. My long dormant military mind reads that as “I’m a retired 2-star General who finished my career in J5” Joint Chiefs of Staff > Directorates > J5 | Strategy, Plans and Policy. Maybe it’s just a creative way to say “J 10” (5 * 2 meaning 5 times 2) and their name is something like Johannesens i.e. J plus 10 more letters. Or ???

Tonight I saw HMB VW on a VW GTI. I’m not sure what the HMB stands for. Humble? The owner’s initials?

His Majesty’s Bug.

(I have no idea; I’d guess the owner’s initials, too.)

Half Moon Bay? The one in California? That’s what HMB around here means.

Could be. He’s be a few hours from home, but it could have been a visitor or transplant from there.

CA plates on a silver Subaru Forrester with no other markings: BNDRGRZ. BONDER, BENDER, BINDER, GRAZE, GRAYS, GREASE? No idea.

Band of girls? More like band o’ girls?

4RNR TNK on a T4R. Tank!

PKAWHO in the grocery store parking lot. My brain went to Pokemon… Pikawho?

And I picture some New Jerseyite answering your question “Pika joo, Lady!” FTR that’s “joo” as a foreign-accented form of the word “you”, not a reference to any ethnicity.

13VEE No idea.

MISS WKD . At the red light.

I pulled up next to her and told her I loved her plates. She laughed loudly.

A true fan.

Saw this one in the grocery store parking lot this morning. Made me chuckle.

Had a pretty good haul over the weekend and so far today …

  • LOKKI on a FL standard plate on a Kia SUV.

  • B⎵NOBEL on a FL standard plate on a 4 door jeep. Either a name or an exhortation to goodness and niceness. I prefer the latter theory.

  • 70PLUTO on a Indiana standard plate on a Model Y. The words are easy; the meaning is obscure.

  • ANCORA⎵2 on a FL standard plate on a small SUV with stickers suggesting they raise chickens as a hobby. Meant nothing to me at the time. Some googling here at home says there’s a small business near here using the name “Ancora”. Maybe that’s them?

  • THE⎵ORB on a FL standard plate repainted to be all black with white writing. This is on an ancient (early 2000s) but shiny white Honda Insight BEV. Early Honda Insight - Google Image Search. Which vehicles are sort of plump & orb-like as they hover silently down the road in very leisurely fashion. In the bright sun the stark white paint really seemed to glow.

  • SPYDN on a FL 5-character USAF booster plate on a Lotus. I saw it parked, but I bet it does spyd right along.

  • NTOWL on a FL 5-character booster plate on a generic car. This was about noon in a grocery store parking lot. They’d probably just gotten up.
