VIRUS1 on a 20-year-old pickup. Not sure what message they were trying to convey.
Nevermind, I was conflating the Scirocco with the Scorpio (which was a European Ford model). I hadn’t had my coffee yet when I posted that.
The Scorpio was briefly sold in the US as a Merkur. I guess maybe they owned two of those, although they were not very common. Or maybe “SCRPIO” is referring to something completely different.
A couple with birthdays in November?
I B EVIL
I wouldn’t have said the driver looked especially evil, but I didn’t get a very good glimpse of her (as she swept by at 120 mph, leaving a trail of devastation and destruction in her wake).
UK007
Definitely a UK basketball fan. Maybe a James Bond fan?
If you are wondering, UK has 8 championships (in men’s NCAA basketball), and got their most recent one in 2012. I’d be surprised if the plate was that old, although given that it was a UK Vanity plate, maybe it is?
(the answer to the other question that my first question brings up is, no, I am not enough of a fan to know for sure how many championships or when they occurred. But I’ve lived here long enough to be like "But shouldn’t it be 8?)
I mean, I’ve had my vanity license plate number since 1995, soooo..
My guess might be that the “007” may not be meaningful, other than it was a number that was not already taken.
Or a little of both, like maybe maybe they graduated from there in 2007, but UK2007 and UK 07 were both taken, so they had to settle for 007.
I think UK2007 has too many digits for that style of vanity plate. The idea that they might be a grad from that year makes sense. To me, anyway.
A bilingual one- saw SU MADRE on a minivan in the office parking garage today
On a Tesla sedan: NCANITB. I’m guessing “And can it be?”
Also… is it just me, or does SU MADRE sound just a little insulting? Or taunting?
SUMMITD on a Jeep Wrangler. I assume it climbed some summit.
Seems more than a little so to me; though I have only a few words of Spanish.
GMA
CB on some crossover. I’m guessing “Grandma loves CB” with CB being the grandchild’s initials. Or it could possibly just be a couple’s initials.
POWR PRO on a Tesla. I’m not sure if that’s just a reference to the car being electric, or if the driver is something like an electrician or an electrical engineer who designs power systems.
Yeah, I was thinking it was a “yo mama” joke kind of reference…
Saw TRST GD on a BMW that was flying through traffic this morning. Must be more trusting than I would be driving like that.
And also this morning POPPER on some kind of small truck that had been lowered and modified beyond all recognition.
A little, blue econobox: AYE CAPN.
And a Nissan Kicks with: ALLANDY. I don’t know if Andy wants the credit or the blame.
W1NONE
Saw PYRO WYF while out and about today. There is a fireworks store called Pyro’s here in town so I’m assuming this is the wife of the owner.
On a red Tesla* sedan: RFENGNR. I’m assuming someone familiar with antennas, shielding, coax, etc.
*Only other marking was a bumper sticker for the Anti-Elon Tesla Club.
Over the weekend I saw:
AUTIZM
Obviously the “Autism with an ‘S’” was taken
SKIRUNNR
AGAVE
