SHANTLS on a Chevy Tahoe. A shortened version of someone’s name, perhaps?
My brain went to “Chantilly Lace” there.
Haven’t been going into the office so nothing to contribute lately. Maybe next week.
MYMISTY SO or maybe the F150 it was on
FMR WI2 Former whizz or wizard
On tonight’s commute:
8DAHIYA on a plain, white, Hyundai Sonata. No clue.
RUN4IPA on a California Yosemite specialty plate on a Tesla. I guess he was on a beer run.
BRTATUD on some crossover. Not sure. “[Something] tattooed?”
Brat-atude (brat + attitude)
SHANTLS: A woman named Chantelle or some variant spelling thereof. It’s a pretty common base name from which African American girls’ unique names are created.
SHANEPH on some forgettable crossover. I’m guessing someone named Shane with the middle and last initials P.H.
GODBE4U on a Camaro. I’m not sure if that’s “God be for you” or “God before you”.
Some sports fandom, all New York license plates:
ORIOLES 7, quite possibly a Baltimore baseball fan
STELERZ, definitely a Pittsburgh football fan (license plate holder says “Pittsburgh Steelers”)
ROLLTIDE, a UAlabama fan for sure judging by other paraphernalia in addition to the plate.
Then there was ERROR444, which I interpret as “the second baseman had a lousy day in the field.” But I could easily be wrong!
A 444 error is a type of website error.
4BROS3 Fo(u)r brothers (something).
I guess that makes sense, even though I’ve only seen 404. What, only the cool kids get 444? ![]()
I kinda like my interpretation better anyway. Still at all, thanks for fighting my ignorance.
MNTROLL
I read mountain roll, but now I’m typing it, I think mountain troll is more likely.
8TH
On a vehicle with patriotic advertising for a business. I’m 90 percent sure the driver is former military but I was never at a good angle to read the plate holder.
Funniest
X0N03O
Ixnay on thirty? Something funny based on the Xb thing?
And then I realized that the car in front of me had the same kind of pattern with 3’s rather than zeroes.
SBLIX
Super bowl fifty nine, I assume
I would, too. Very likely a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
WHOSAP2 on a Honda S2000 with a giant rear wing and what sounded like an aftermarket exhaust. “Whose app?” I don’t know why one would as that question, though.
Somewhat off topic, but close enough not to start anther thread.
I have a 44 year old Chevy, and under North Carolina law I am allowed to put plates on it from the year of manufacture,
Which I have done - they are available at car shows, odd thing there is no provision to document any of it.
Nobody can tie that plate, to my car - best I can tell the local turnpike is now free![]()
CLETRAC on a Kia Soul. A weird spelling of “electric” because all the obvious ones were taken? Does Kia make an electric Soul?
Or, looking at it backwards, CARTEL C?
Today I saw one that every Marine would love: DOERDI
Semper Fi. Do, or die.
If it was on a largeishSUV I’d go with
“For the brothers three” meaning the owner(s) kids.
Minnesota troll? Montana roll?
