I can’t find a good gif, so here’s the whole video.
Seen on two Corvettes (not traveling together) the other evening on the way to dinner:
BUHBYE

FST NLO
On a raised-up black Toyota Tacoma with fat off-road type tires…

Can someone tell me what these are:
From Joey P’s post #560 MRTH MBL
Is it Mr Thimble? If so, why?
And from Johnny LA’s post #564 T T F N
I’m guessing Ta-Ta-For-Now.
Thank you.
From the link posted just below the picture, the ‘mirth mobile’ is a 1976 light blue AMC Pacer driven by Garth Algar in the movie ‘Wayne’s World’.
It recently sold for $71,500.
Wayne’s World car sold for $71,500 at Barrett-Jackson! (abc15.com)
Thank you.
I remember the movie, the scene, the song and their car, I had forgotten they called it the Mirthmobile.
I wondered why the heck any guy would want Mr Thimble on their license plate.
I read it as TiTty-FaN …
(just to show you how deep in the gutter my brain resides)
AI DRVR on a Tesla.
Yesterday I saw a Toyota Supra (2-seat zoomer from ~10 years ago). Big tires, fart can exhaust, aftermarket whale tail, and several go-fast decals. The plate? YEEEEE
A couple blocks later I found a dark gray Tesla Model 3. Around here Teslas are more common than Nissans but less common than Toyotas. So overall this car was the epitome of generic boring mobility appliance. The plate? BYOFFCR. Apparently the heart of a lion lurks within the unassuming persona of the driver.
???
Bye Officer?
'Zactly. Or at least that’s my interpretation too.
As in “Just try to catch me; I dare you! My car mongo fast. Or at least mongo quick off the light.”
Not really the sentiment I’d want to be advertising to some random Officer Friendly as they’re warily approaching my car.
JZZ LUVR
Driver didn’t look like a pr0n star.
(OK, the accompanying NPR bumper sticker suggests the first word is supposed to be “JAZZ”, but the mind goes where it goes)
Formal version of LOJACK.
Seen this evening, on a white Toyota electric SUV:
EEEEEVA
Which is pretty clearly a WALL-E reference, as that is what he calls the sleek, futuristic, white-colored robot EVE.
I certainly see the “jizz” connection, but I read JZZ as “Jesus”.
Which name in many 'Murrican dialects is pronounced as if spelled “jeezuz” where the first “z” is a full-blooded “z” and the terminal “z” is sorta halfway between an “s” and a full “z”.
I saw one a few minutes ago. A sun-fried 20+yo Toyota junker. Remarkably filthy considering how often it rains around here.
It had Florida’s anti-abortion specialty license plate background*. Like the car, the license plate frame was heavily faded and hard to read, but was something close to “I love Jesus Christ”.
The actual plate text? BBORN.
You have to give them points for consistency.
* Yes, we have a plate like that. We don’t however have a pro-abortion plate. Hmm.
We have a woman that shops at our store that hands out religious tracts to cashiers and customers. She’ll talk to anyone that will listen about, ‘our lord and savior jesus christ’. Often to the point that I’ll have to ‘butt in’ to give customers a chance to walk away from her, since it’s really all you can do.
Something that I always find funny is that most of my employees can’t bring themselves to throw away the pamphlets she hands them, so after she’s here, I’ll grab whatever she handed the cashiers (and customers sometimes) and toss it myself or it piles up in a drawer in the checkout area.
Her license place is BORN 2X.
