Custom Licence Plates — Seen in the Wild

I suppose listening to their entire oevre set on repeat (not shuffle) might get old after about, oh, 10,000 years. Which is just a drop in the ocean compared to forever. :wink:

I felt like an idiot because I translated FOOFGTR as Foof Getter. Took a few miles for me to realize it was

I didn’t know that the Associated Press ran a Post Exchange.

This one could probably be posted here and the interesting cars thread:

I am not sure what the H is for but maybe H-TARDIS knows. I have to wonder what AMOUR is planning for Valentine’s day, with a license plate like that they are probably required to do something special. I’m not sure when this plate was chosen but USA␣UKR is certainly relevant now. Soon after seeing that I saw CZE␣GRL zoom past me.

Another candidate for an Abbott and Costello bit.

What is your license plate?
Exactly.

Although I was passed by a Tesla with GON␣PLAD but they were not going ludicrous speed*. Later I saw THS␣IS␣RL which was comforting or maybe scary depending on your view of the world. The boxy car I saw with BB-EI8HT did not look like the robot, and the car had no Star Wars stickers. Finally I am not sure if IIIIIII liked roman numerals, was trying to avoid being identified by toll cameras or was purely egotistical.

* I know Tesla’s have a Ludicrous Mode setting, but this particular one was not going that fast, just fast enough to pass me.

They have a Ludicrous mode, but a Plaid trim package.

VSPRSN

Any ideas about this one?

Any guesses?

California vs Prison?
Very Special Person?

Yes that’s it. She parked next to me at the grocery store, and later on inside I bumped into her and asked. We had a nice, brief conversation.

Her husband (now deceased) had gotten her a plate with VIP on it. She was never comfortable with VIP, but she tolerated it. He soon thereafter died in an accident. She changed the plate so it no longer had VIP but in an homage to him she included VSP for, as you guessed, Very Special Person.

In the years that followed she’s had many ask her what it meant. Very Speedy Person? Very Sassy Person? Very Suspicious Person? Very Sexy Person? Very Stupid Person? Very Smart Person?

The plate has been a conversation starter through the many years she’s had it.

I left her with another twist. Since she drives a Kia Soul, so I said Very Soulful Person.

She liked it and laughed.

I love the occasional random conversations I have with others about their cars. When they happen they often become high points to my days.

Au contraire. When I was driving our red Miata with Bubba the Cavalier King Charles spaniel riding shotgun, young women would wave and cheer.

Although I’m pretty sure they were digging Bubba.

Speaking of red cars …

Last night I saw a fairly non-descript newish sedan. Might’ve been Nissan, might’ve been Chevy; nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either.

But it was a very bright cheerful shade of red. With a red-bordered license plate frame that was paved with all sparkly red “jewels” & no lettering. A wall of small red ruby-colored rhinestones.

The standard background FL plate read A⎵JEWEL. The car was parked so I did not see the driver. I bet she was interesting. Or worked in a jewelry store.

Yet another Subaru… this time it was MOOUWU

Someone trying to say “Subaru” with a mouthful of peanut butter sandwich?

I did see something like that before but I can’t remember the exact phrasing, so I won’t post my guesses. Today I did see something I am old enough to say 2S00NJR or at least would like to say, maybe it is a Vin Diesel vehicle?

Standard plate, but it got an involuntary Beavis and Butthead laugh out of me
