Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

A couple days ago I saw a 4-door convertible Bentley. Expensive car. The plate, you ask?

KEV RICH.

Just in case anyone following him had not noticed that. Douche.

Because KEV DOUCHE is too many characters.

2 NJPs. Gotta love it.

You may love it but I have no idea what it means. A little help please? Maybe they were a paratrooper and that means they did 2 night jumps?


Yesterday I saw a Tesla model S with a standard Florida plate that read YU⎵NVRNO. Which I assume is the University of Nevada at Reno. Out there they’d call it UNR, but around here nobody would recognize that TLA.


Not 10 minutes later I came up behind a Telsa Model Y with EFF⎵⎵GAS.

You never know?

Could that also be you never know?

ETA: ninja’ed while I was typing🤣. Oh, well, you never know…

Wow. That totally did not occur to me. IOW, I never knew. :wink:

You’re (both) probably more right than I am. Thank you.

2 Non-judicial punishments? For a veteran willing to pay extra for the plate, that is a weird thing to be proud of.

Along with Teslas I seem to see a fair amount of custom plates on Subarus. The other day I saw WOOBARU. And someone in the parking garage at my office building has WE1RD0. I don’t know if it’s one of my co-workers or someone who lives in the apartments across the street. I need to find out!

Yeah that’s what I figured it was for. Some veterans are proud of their misbehaviors. I guess.

I suppose it’s all part of the “… and I even lived to tell the tale!” mystique we all enjoy so much. :crazy_face:

I saw this one on an Audi today. I guess it’s a pun on “HOWDY”.

Two seen on my commute this morning: On yet another Tesla (on Long Island, NY), YANKSNO1. Couldn’t tell if the next-to-last character was an Oh or a zero.

And on a BMW, BHUMAN, which I thought was a nice sentiment.

Either that or the driver was Bavarian.

Saw a Chevy work truck with TOTTNEM. (In Los Angeles)

The only interpretation i can come up with isthat they are a fan of the british football club.

I saw LAMLEP on a Packers plate. I’m assume it’s Lambeau Leap.

Not very original or clever.

Maybe it is a shortening of “toting them”? “Them” being whatever the truck is carrying.

I thought of that, but then wouldn’t TOTENEM be most appropriate? Also, it was a big work truck with lots of storage, but not much space for ‘totin’ like this:

I had quite a haul yesterday. Like 7 of them. Unfortunately my day was full, so no time to post 'em as I saw 'em. Nor was I in position to grab pics as memory joggers.

First up was a white Bentley 2-door. ARB⎵TRAJ. Nicely done.

Next up was a ratty older RAV-4. The plate frame said “NHL” across the top, and “New Jersey Nets” across the bottom. The plate itself was the generic FL design and read MET⎵FAN2. Evidently this guy really likes sports in the NYC area. The price of tickets being what they are, he has no money left for a decent car.

Saw a nice but ordinary sedan with GES⎵⎵NOT.

The others I saw but cannot now remember were more quirky. Damn.
