It’s an uncommon girls’ name, but has been gaining in popularity. There is a character in Marvel Comics, Ironheart (sort of a teenaged girl version of Iron Man), whose real name is Riri Williams, and RiRi is apparently a nickname for the singer Rihanna.
V I A G Oddly stretched across the plate. Has ED and proud of it?
CLIK 3X Double-click is common with mouses but three times? The only thing I can think of is The Wizard of Oz so maybe a fan or a friend of Dorothy or maybe just wishing they were off this plane of existence.
Nope. Proud of how stretched-out the meds make him. Big. Really really big.
Evidently a believer in the old maxim: it pays to advertise.
H1DE0US
Or some varient on a cybertruck
BCHWGN on a Volvo XC40. I assume Beach Wagon unless the driver is a real bad person.
Been a busy couple of days in the plate-spotting biz …

CNS-3 on a FL standard plate on a Bentley convertible. One of his 7 weekly Bentleys? I did see it on Wednesday, the 3rds day of the week. The third company car of his company, CNS Industries? He’s a successful neurologist or brain surgeon?
-
BA⎵⎵⎵09 on a FL 7-character golf booster plate on a Porsche 911. I might have posted this one before; it lives in my building. Anyhow I had the insight a couple days ago that the plate might mean “back 9” as in the second half of a golf course. Which might be a metaphor for almost any late stage of any activity. E.g. “retirement is the back 9 of life.” Golfers are certainly (in)famous for slipping golf terminology and golf metaphors into everyday conversation.
-
GYNGO on a FL 5-character Miami Heat NBA booster plate on a SUV. The owner is a gynecologist? And they make house-calls: “Gyno to go”, kinda like DoorDash delivers?
The owner is a woman whose nickname or shortened form name is something akin to Gyn, so Jen, or Gen or … -
B3NJAMN on a FL 7-character blacked-out plate on a blacked out black-wrapped Telsa Cybertruck. The first thought I had was “Been jammin’” as in enjoying some reggae. Only later did I realize it might just be “Benjamin”. I like my first idea better.
-
ZEIDY on a FL 5-character support Israel over the Palestinians booster plate on a generic crossover. Presumably somebody’s name. Those plates are fairly new and this is the first one I’ve seen.
-
HARVG on a FL 5-character something-booster plate on a BMW sedan. Nice to meet you, Harvey.
-
BLAZ on a FL 5-character University of Florida Gators booster plate on a basic white pickup truck. Reading it as “blaze” at first I thought they might be a fire alarm or fire extinguisher service company. But the truck was plain on the sides too. Maybe they’re a firefighter, but I didn’t see the usual proud decals for that either. Maybe they actually mean they have the “blahs”. Or are terminally blasé. After all, it was a very plain pickup truck by local standards.
-
NECMAMA on a FL standard plate on a dirty family wagon. “Mama” is easy; what’s NEC? Initials of her three kids Nancy, Edward, and Carl/Carla? “Niece Mama” as in “I’m raising my useless sister’s kids too.”?
-
REEF⎵CAR on a FL standard plate on a SUV festooned with scuba-related stickers. The woman driving had a very 30yo action adventure outdoorsy water-woman vibe. Evidently the main purpose of the car is to haul scuba gear from one dive to the next. Good for her.
Unrelated to that, I’ve recently run across a few plates that I’m 99% sure are just ordinary series plates. But with my interesting-plate-recognizer running in overdrive, they seemed meaningful. When I see one of these I always wonder if the plate owner recognizes the hidden meaning I see or are they oblivious?
-
DI0⎵0DE on a FL standard plate. Having once been an electronics hobbyist I immediately saw “Diode”.
-
CU4AZ on a FL 5-character surfer booster plate on a copper-colored Nissan. That plate’s predominant colors are also orange-ish. Cu being the chemical abbreviation for copper and Arizona being the Copper State, “Copper for Arizona” jumped out at me on a copper colored car with a coppery-looking plate.
-
24KGD on a FL 5-character surfer booster plate on a generic sedan with a bright sparkly rhinestone license plate frame. Parked near the copper car and also near a jewelry store, it immediately made me think of “24 karat gold”.
Probably so. Or, an ode to pioneering heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio. ![]()
I just saw DZZZZZT on a Hyundai Kona Electric in the Trader Joe’s parking lot. Is that supposed to be the sound of an electrical arc?
I sure hope so! ![]()
Doing a quick search, NEC could be National Electric Code (familiar to anyone who’s looked at house wiring), National Economic Council (advisors to the President), New England Conservatory (of Music), New England College (in New Hampshire, or North East Conference (NCAA).
Being a Florida plate if it’s any of the New England stuff, they must be a transplant.
On a Kevin Harvick NY plate on an SUV: S4FETY. Driving much more like the NASCAR driver than the tag.
Haven’t been out and about much because my street is completely torn up. Ventured to the grocery store this morning and was rewarded by BTY WHT on a white SUV and IM ANGIE on something tan and non-descript.
STEKIR on a California “whale tail” ocean conservation plate on a Chevy Volt. I have no clue what it means. The car also had a mismatched passenger door – the rest of the car was blue but the door was white. I couldn’t see the driver’s door to tell if it was similarly mismatched. Probably unrelated to the plate.
Big, black Ford F150 with THE9ERS. I was thinking San Francisco fan, until I noticed the little CSULB decal in the corner of the back window. Cal State Long Beach’s teams are also 49ers.
Wasn’t out much yesterday, so scored just two; both parked in the same lot.

F1SENNA on a FL standard plate on late model red Ferrari.
-
MPERU on FL 5-character Gadsden flag freedumb booster plate on a generic Hyundai sedan.
Undoubtedly a reference to Ayrton Senna, a very successful Formula One driver from Brazil, who died in a crash during a race in 1994. IIRC, South Florida has a lot of Brazilian immigrants (and natives of Brazilian descent).
Probably not a reference to Marian Paroo, from The Music Man. ![]()
I suspected the “F1” was about racing but didn’t know of Senna & was too lazy to Google. It’s sometimes more fun to let folks show off their own knowledge than just being a conduit for Google’s knowledge.
Both of those. Supposedly the largest Brazilian ex-pat population anywhere.
The fact I saw the plate at a Rodizio in a Brazilian-heavy section of town pretty well seals the deal. Lunch there was excellent, and all the workers & most of the patrons seemed to be of Brazilian descent.
Saw BOOJAH in the Lowe’s parking lot. I’m assuming the normal spelling of “booyah” was already taken.
CAXH 22 on a New Mexico plate.
URYY
I agreed.
