Just saw a medium blue Tesla Model 3 with SP4RKLI
I found a red Hyundai Sonata with I13B. Which once again was hard to read being centered over the Florida logo in the plate center. But it was definitely that.
By analogy to
I suspect the meaning is a name (or slogan) that starts with “I”, ends with “B” and has 13 omitted letters in the middle. Rather few English words end in “B”, so a name from a part of the world where such names are common seems more likely.
Which in turn led me to this interesting wiki article that has some applicability to decoding license plates:
hmmm… even AI throws a curveball:
quote:
The word you’re looking for is:
INCOMPREHENSIB[LE]
This 15-character word starts with “I” and ends with “B” (technically ending with “LE”, which fits the pattern you described).
The word “incomprehensible” means:
- Impossible to understand or comprehend
- Too complex or obscure to be understood
- Defying clear explanation
Breakdown:
- Length: 15 characters ✓
- Starts with “I” ✓
- Ends with “B” (technically “LE”) ✓ ==>>???
REMARK (AL128): seems that now we don’t only have to deal with human BS, but also with AI-BS!!! (reminds me that my last name also ends with “B”, (technically “Z”) …
holy $hit, Batman …
now Chat-GPT weighs in:
One example of a 15-character English word that starts with “I” and ends with “B” is “intercontinental”. However, this word has 16 letters, so it doesn’t meet your exact requirements.

I am not so much worried about losing my job as I was 15 min ago …
As long as your boss is stupid enough to think the AI answer is correct, you’re still doomed. Or more accurately, as long as your boss thinks your incremental cost to get your more-right answer isn’t worth it versus the AI’s less-right answer for free, well, … you’re still doomed.
Remember, in an idiocracy it’s not just the worker bees who are stupid. So are all of middle and most of upper management. And most academics and politicians too.
Good decisions will happen only by accident. And given that, statistically speaking, for any problem / solution the good choices are rare while the bad choices are legion, that suggests the good decisions that do happen by accident will be very few and far between.
On that cheery thought I think I’ll go get wasted. [j/k]
Yet another Subaru… Black Subaru in traffic this morning with VADER13 plates and a license plate border that said “This is the way”. I don’t know what kind of Subaru it was exactly because it was still pretty dark but the car had a Darth Vader-ish look to it if that makes any sense.
I’m starting to think it’s a confirmation bias… I see a Subaru and check for a custom plate.
NVRLOST
Not sure what the meaning is supposed to be. Someone on an incredible win streak? Always know where they are? Could also have a religious meaning: “Once was lost, but now I’m found.”
I’m going with they have vowed to not ever watch a certain TV show.
It being a sign on a car I’ll take it to suggest the driver thinks he (good bet) has an infallible internal map & compass. 
Our own @solost would be so sad.
Ha! 
No, if that is the meaning for that ‘NVRLOST’ license plate, I heartily endorse !00%. I have also vowed never to rewatch that bitterly disappointing show, as recently as the recent ‘Rewatching Lost’ thread.
Today I saw a Porsche 911 Carrera SC. Fairly recent model, say post 2015. Good not great condition. The plate was 911⎵⎵ENG.
Back in the 1970s & 1980s, dropping a 911 engine into a VW Bug or other lesser model of Porsche was a common customization. So having a 911 engine in your, e.g. VW Camper Van was a mark of cool worthy of a custom plate.
But I sort of expect a 911 to have a 911 engine in it already. Which leaves me scratching my head about this plate.
Any ideas?
Today I saw a nearly new Mercedes S560 with a refined & tasteful custom paint job. Expensive car. The license plate was FINE⎵⎵AU.
Apparently selling jewelry to the fatcat brigade pays fairly well. Or maybe this is just a factcat lady telling us what gifts she prefers. Or … ???
Or an owner named Feingold and their other car already had Feingold.
At least in this state you can’t have 8 characters. 7 plus an optional space is the max.
But good idea; it might simply be their last name encoded.
I saw a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Snazzy overblown SUV station wagon thingie; flagship of the Jeep brand.
Quebec license plate read GD⎵WAGON. Not the most original effort. I wonder if it’s legit Quebecois or only works in English?
I saw 2 or 3 much more interesting ones but not at a time or place I could commit them to memory. Shame.
I do not know if I will see JA⎵MATA* again, but it could happen.
* ja mata (じゃあまた) is a casual way of saying see you later in Japanese. I wasn’t sure that was what they meant when I first saw it or if was just me recognizing it as such, but the license plate frame had "see you later "written in English which confirmed that it was intentional.

Driving this morning in Wichita, I saw this one on a Nissan Murano:
INKITALL
Only thing I could figure out was a tattoo artist.
Could be a comic book inker too. I do wonder if the audi I saw with ZOOM⎵ZM will get in trouble with Mazda for using their catch phrase.

For 5 years I rode a Honda Motorcycle while wearing a Harley jacket. No one ever commented on it, though I suspect it was rarely, if ever, even noticed.
It’s possible that the owner had previously had that plate on a Mazda. 
I once saw a Volvo, with the personalized plate VOLVO. OK, it works, but really obvious, and becomes stupid if you ever get a different brand of car.
TZLAPLD is an example of a missing half space that would’ve been useful to have.
TZLA PLD would’ve been better but the DMV form that’s online does not allow for that half space. The owner would’ve had to go into a DMV office to submit TZLA/PLD and get that space.
