That’d be my guess too.
TESSEAN — maybe a couple whose names are Tess and Sean?
SFWOOKI — while driving to San Francisco today, on I-280.
Pronounced Te’Shawn that’d be a not very surprising name for a Black American. Lotta variant spellings, and maybe the one on the plate is the one they could get.
Oh I forgot to mention which plate became the day’s winner in my mind, and as an amateur astronomer it has to be that yellow GT with CYGNSX-I. (Cygnus X-1).
Honorable mentions include AKC-BOXR (mostly because they did bring their dog along in the car), the NCHNTED one, enhanced by all of the lens flare artifacts from the late afternoon sun reflecting off the car, SCHWA (maybe they’re an english teacher?), the GS-GUSLR on a Tesla, and the BIG BULL mostly because the sheer MAGA-ness of the sticker collection. (the driver was a rather corpulent man.)
TACCCOS on a Mustang. Who doesn’t love a good taco?
VILAGMZ or something like that, on a forgettable crossover. Village something?
This afternoon, driving north from San Diego …
BAD EWOK on a Honda Element, and
CRE8TIVD on a Toyota pickup.
I wonder if they know each other? 
Villa-Gómez is their last name?
NorCal isn’t as Spanish heavy as SoCal, but I’ve learned around here in Miami to think about Spanish or Portuguese possibilities if something in English doesn’t pop out at me. I don’t speak either language much beyond ordering a burrito or coxhina, but I try.
“GMZ” might also be “games”. Really make some Spanglish with “Viva la games” ?
Ram Pickup with IL Sporting Series Plate with a multi-pointed buck, JES..
This morning I saw I WALK 2
That one works on every level:
I Walk, Too - they drive, and they walk, too
I Walk to - to where?
I Walk Two - two what? The dogs had better be well trained!
On a clean, black BMW 128i: B8B1M3R I’m gonna guess the last five characters are for bimmer, but B8? Bait? Luring riders with his cool car? I got nothin’.
'Zactly. It’s babe bait in his mind. Hint, dude: a 128 ain’t pulling anything exciting.
The other possibility is it’s hopped up to within an inch of its life. So folks inclined to race will underestimate its performance and get humbled when he (damned good bet its “he”) shows them who’s really boss. He hopes.
P NEWK this morning… no clue on that one
It’s a small 128. I think the owner means baby beemer.
LMJBNZ2 – I was following that guy for miles before I realized that was actually a custom plate. It just looked looked like a jumble of letters until it eventually clicked that that’s not the standard pattern. It was on a Mercedes SUV, so my best guess is LMJ are initials, and it translates to “LMJ’s Benz, too,” as in “My other car’s also a Benz.”
OV NANA on some forgettable crossover. I’m guessing the owner is someone’s grandma, but I’m not sure what the OV means.
U1JESUS on a Nissan Rogue. “You won, Jesus,” I guess. I like to think Jesus just refers to some random Hispanic guy, rather than the Biblical figure.
Or perhaps “LMJ’s Benz #2” (the other one might have “LMJBNZ1”).
Yeah, I like that. Good double use of the second “B”.
I think U1 means under 1, which is a baby.
Baby Jesus.
