On a BMW SUV: WATCH AU. The other way around, it might be someone enjoying their retirement. In this order, a trader?
As far as I know it isn’t possible to have two plates, that are only different because one has a zero and one the letter O because visually they are the the same. Unless there is a state that has a zero with a slash through it to differentiate the two.

I just checked and Arizona does distinguish between O and 0 and also that both COFFEE and C0FFEE were indeed taken.
Zero is an oval with a circular curve between the vertical straight elements and O has four 90-degree bends with a short straight element between, top and bottom.
Interesting, I wonder how many states distinguish the two. I guess these days, with automated plate readers, they can figure out what someone looking at it with the naked eye might not.

V DUBS on (what else?) a Volkswagen SUV in the parking garage
TRONK on a Toyota Tacoma TRO
HONESTY - not sure what motivated this one
This evening, a Chrysler minivan: CAQLTR. West Coaster handy with a needle, thread, and some batting.
A Toyota Pruis: DHSIMX7. It was dark, I couldn’t read the license plate frame. Any guesses?
Some plates just have USLZNFO1 like NOIR2 on a black car.

Maybe s/he’s someone who can’t read.
Typical…parked in a ‘No Parking’ space with plenty of room on both sides. But not to worry…will be pardoned if somebody dared to put a ticket on the car.
What’s the difference between a porcupine and a BMW…?
Tonight I saw:
BMW2019 – I’ll leave figuring out the make and year of the car it was on as an exercise for the reader. ![]()
ASK SAUL on some black sedan I didn’t have time to identify. Unclear if it refers to Saul Goodman, or the biblical king.
ANTBEE Either she’s Aunt B (Might be Bea or Beatrice or something else starting with B) or she just really likes insects.
WKNDA-- I think. I’m pretty sure it was referencing the fictional place Wakenda(sp?), less sure of which letters were missing
Just as an aside on that DJTGOAT plate…The 11-99 Foundation is a charitable organization that provides assistance to California Highway Patrol employees and scholarships to their children. Maybe 40 years ago, some friends donated frequently and had those frames on their Porsches (yeah, they had his and hers
). They believed the 11-99 frames would get them favorable treatment by the CHP. Perhaps, once upon a time. Rumor has it that the opposite is now the case.
J DOLLAZ on an older Mercedes with aftermarket wheels, lowered suspension, and dark tinted windows.
The bougie grocery store is usually good for a custom plate or two in the parking lot. I go there because I like their granola and jam. And the parking lot didn’t disappoint.
LASHAWN on something silver and sporty looking.
Spotted on the freeway last night:
DAWGPAQ on a Honda Odyssey. “Dog pack”. Given that it was on a minivan, I wonder if their kids constitute their “pack”.
I’d sooner expect their collection of dogs constitutes their “kids”. Minivans are great dog-hauling machines.
RIP 666 O-o-kay.
