I saw LILWTCH in Salem, Massachusetts this weekend. On a car driven by a woman dressed like a witch, of course.
RYD4ACE on some SUV. “Ride for ace?” Or is that “4 aces”, like a poker hand? Either way I don’t know what riding has to do with it. Is that a poker term, perhaps?
I bet the owner is nicknamed “Ace”, and that car is his (darn good bet it’s a “his”) ride. People call their cars “their ride” all the time.
LBI ASAP on a Pennsylvania plate, from someone in a hurry to get down shore.
(Though I saw it in a parking lot a hundred plus miles from Long Beach Island. False advertising I call it.)
@Ulf_the_Unwashed just above:
I’m in South Florida. I posted this upthread:
Seems like LBI is a draw for people from all over the northeast.
GOODELL on a Toyota Tundra. “Good Ell”? Maybe the driver, or their dog, or is nicknamed Ell and they are good?
Hello Roger?
On a Volvo XC60, I think it was: HELZKTCN. Now, this was on Long Island and it was headed west toward the City, so a couple of possibilities:
- A fan of the show.
- A fan or denizen of the NYC neighborhood.
- Something else.
I AM CAR on something small and red. A Guardians of the Galaxy fan maybe? Made me laugh.
A Tesla sedan with: REKKLES. Somebody really wanted to be recognized as reckless and all the other spellings were taken. Or maybe it’s just a last name. 
I’m thinking that decision could come back to haunt them if they ever cause a bad accident.
Kinda like the many variations of macho bumper stickers or house signs that say “I’ll shoot first and ask questions later”. That probably won’t help you at your manslaughter murder trial.
A Toyota Grand Highlander with: WZ COOL. Just to remind the youngsters in the family that the driver wasn’t always old and didn’t always drive a big ol’ SUV. 
Almost forgot… a little black pickup at the beach with: CTAPTAP. It was parked and I was moving, so I couldn’t read the bumper stickers or the license plate frame. Any ideas? I got nuthin’.
This is a Tap tap - Wikipedia. Maybe his operates near the C = sea? You did see it at a beach. Would work better on a family wagon full of kid seats than a pickup, but who knows?
2ANDREA on some non-descript small SUV. Couldn’t see the driver, maybe the car was a gift to someone named Andrea?
Good haul for me the last few days. I’m missing 3 or 4 good ones I was unable to write down before I forgot them. Damn! And I’m skipping a couple of BOB J first name + last initial plates that are boor-iiiing!!
-
KCB⎵ESQ on a FL standard plate on a new Range Rover. I wonder whether KCB are their initials or a reference to their British honors: Order of the Bath - Wikipedia. It being a British car and all. There are many Brit expats around here. In either case, evidently their legal career is going well.
-
A⎵FAST1 on a FL standard plate on a Cadillac Lyric EV. Probably true, at least as to acceleration, if not top speed.
-
ZHU4KA on a FL standard plate on a generic white crossover. I have no idea. There is a common Brazilian woman’s name that is rendered phonetically in English as “ZHU”. Lotta Brazilians around here too. Maybe?
-
SPICCY on a FL 5-character NBA Miami Heat booster plate on a late model lowered and flared BMW M3. With loud exhaust and afterfiring on trailing throttle. Of course.
Probably a pretty hot and spicy performer. But also probably more noisy than it is fast. -
TORCHIN on a FL standard plate on a new Mercedes AMG E-something sedan that looked box-stock (for an AMG). I guess this guy thinks his is hot too. Lotta that goin’ around.
-
8RONCO on a FL standard plate on a new … wait for it … Ford Bronco! Hooray there Captain Obvious. You win a cookie. A small and stale one from alongside a 7-11 cash register.
-
RMP on a FL 5-character NFL Tampa Bay Bucs booster plate on a bright red-wrapped Cybertruck. The plate is probably initials and is therefore boring. But this was the first bright, and I do mean BRIGHT red CT I’d seen. Talk about overcompensating for some unfortunate anatomical shortcomings.
-
KYLE on a FL 5-character surfing booster plate on a middle-aged black pickup truck w a surfboard rack. I’ve seen Kyle around a few times; I was surprised to find I hadn’t reported him here before. Go Kyle!
-
4ARTHUR on a FL standard plate on a boring gray Chevy crossover. Yawn. Hi Arthur!
-
BBGD-1 on a FL standard plate on a large Audi SUV; their big one. I keep trying to make a song lyric like “Baby be good” out of those initials. I’m almost remembering some similar lyrics from somewhere. But that’s probably not right. Anyone? Bueller?
-
VIBCODR on a FL standard plate on a new BMW X6 large crossover. Evidently AI-assisted software development pays fairly well.
-
2BLDLYGO on a North Carolina “First In Flight” plate on a well-worn Toyota Rav4. First time I’d seen 8 characters on a plate other than New York. From the looks of their car they do seem to be traveling around a lot. Not sure how bold that is. Or maybe they’re commemorating the Wright Brothers having boldly gone up, a place humans had not really gone much before. Who knows?
Tap tap… could be. Not painted up, but pretty ratty. And, as you say, it was by the sea.
LTHRSIR on a Lincoln MKZ. “Luther, Sir"? Or maybe “Leather, Sir”? Either way, I don’t get it. Is that some reference I’m not getting?
BRYHADR on a Ram pickup. All I can think of is maybe the owner is named Bryan Hader.
08YOTA on a Tacoma. Something tells me it was an '08 model.
In gay male culture there is an archetype called a “leather daddy”. Whose partner would be expected to call him Sir.
BLKTP1
I was pretty sure it meant Black Top 1, and then I saw the (Area Code)-ASPHALT logo. I wonder if there are more trucks in this fleet.
On a Make a Wish plate, W1SHEZ
