Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

In German jetzt means “now.” One now? :person_shrugging:

KRZ4ELK Arizona sportsmen for wildlife conservation plate.

LTNQT No idea

NOOQTR USMC plate

NOTARY3 “Public notary” on the frame

We give no quarter to anyone, perhaps? That’s what comes to this jarhead’s brain.

I propose “Latin Cutie”. As in hot Hispanic woman.

I think that works.

This squid as well. I’m guessing NOQTR was already taken.

Did not see the driver so likely that’s it. My brain was stuck on “Late in” … ?

Not many today for me.

I went out briefly. Last one for today:

JJ​:black_heart:MAMA

SCMTNSZ on a Honda Pilot. “Southern California mountains something?” or “South Carolina mountains something?”, although it was a California plate, so California seems more likely. But I don’t know what the Z means if that’s it.

Or Santa Cruz Mountains something.

I bet it means “Somebody else already had SCMTNS, so I took the next best thing.” :grin:

Saw NANA 1 parked on my street this morning, guessing someone’s grandma is over for a visit.

Ah, yes. Those mountains are closer, so that’s probably the most likely.

JUTIPA A first responder plate, if that might be a clue for anyone. I misread it as “Jupiter” at first.

Saw RAMOS in the Menard’s parking lot, I’m assuming someone’s name. And I had no idea Indiana had a diabetes awareness specialty plate until I saw one today with KLIFF on it.

Had a pretty good haul yesterday and today. Will go out tonight and maybe get more, but now’s as good a time as any to empty my backlog …

  • KMMOM on a FL 5-character breast cancer booster plate driven by a 60-something woman. I’m assuming KM stands for one or more of her children. Makes me wonder whether she, the kid(s), or somebody else is the reason for the plate topic.

  • GR82N4U on a FL standard plate on a Cadillac SUV. It was parked in a lot & I took time to ensure I got it right. “Great to N for you” or “Great to N4 you”. But what’s N or N4? Maybe, maybe, N4 is “inform” and this person is in the news media. But that’s a stretch. Any ideas?

  • 4WE2 on a FL 5-character “love your kids” booster plate on a compact SUV. A young couple got in & drove off. Awww, their first car together; young love is so cute. No kids with them yet, but I bet it’s on their list.

  • BASIAS-X on a FL standard plate on a Tesla Model X. Wiki tells me “Basia” is a Slavic diminutive form of Barbara. So that’s probably Basia’s car and it’s an X.

  • PQNA on a FL 5-character Disney World booster plate on a Tesla Model 3. I bet that’s Spanish pequeña meaning small.

  • YVELN on a FL 5-character Disney World booster plate on a Tesla Model Y. Yep, another Disney plate on another Tesla about a mile apart on the freeway. She’s probably named Evelyn. Or her car is.

  • F2⎵FIFTY on a FL standard plate on a quite large semi-jacked Ford pickup truck towing a hefty boat. It’s nice to see a beefy pickup truck being used for its designed purpose, not just traffic intimidation. I thought the plate was clever too. Best in show for today for sure.

  • 007GNDI on a FL 9/11 glurge patriotism plate on a BMW Z3 convertible. They also had a license plate frame that said “BOND” in large letters on the bottom. I couldn’t get quite close enough at the right angle to tell what other symbols or words were on the frame, but something was there. Dude’s last name is “Bond”, or he’s a fan of the spy / assassin or both? I have no clue about “GNDI”

  • L1⎵BEAN on FL standard plate on a Mercedes compact SUV that did sort of resemble a plumb bean. L1 might stand for LI = Long Island.

  • CHIKK on FL 5-character Miami Dolphins NFL booster plate on a big new shiny luxo-SUV. It was parked, but I bet the owner is a well-off well-dressed good looking woman.

Great Tune for You? A DJ? A car mechanic?

Excellent! Could also be a musician or a piano tuner or even a songwriter. But almost certainly somebody where “tune”, be it noun or verb, is their product/service. Thank you!

I was hung up on parsing as GR8-2-N-4-U and GR8-2-N4-U. You nailed it by parsing it differently as GR8-2N-4-U. Which shows that even the obvious parts of a plate can contain misleading traps for the unwary.

Spotted 3 on the short walk from Trader Joe’s to my house (well technically 4, but one was my neighbor’s Prius which I’ve posted in this thread before, so I won’t repeat it).

GOOBRDZ on a Camry. “Goober something”? Or “goo birds”? ETA: Or “go birds!”? Is that a sports team’s nickname?

LKEFSHN on a full size pickup, I think a Toyota Tundra. Took me a while, but “like fishin’” is my best guess.

:black_heart:MYANTY on a GMC Sierra with this over the top patriotic wrap on the tailgate. “Love my Aunty?”

Imgur

Seen on a standard Wisconsin plate on a minivan in Milwaukee today: BEIGNET. No bumper stickers or anything else, but I’d suspect a transplant from New Orleans.

Yes, an excellent guess for GR82N4U!

Many plate owners would do well to use the ½ space (usually) available to them. So a better spacing, if it is great tune, might

be GR8 2N4U.

Like, for example, remember back when the Toyota Prius had braking problems? I know someone who then got plates with GOTBR8KS. The problem (to my eye) is, where does the T belong? Is it part of the GOT, or does it belong with the TBR8KS? Knowing their intended meaning, they would have done better to space it out thusly: GOT BR8KS.

Spacing, people. It matters!
