That’s pretty cool to get the matching plates. I just checked California and it’s not available here. By any chance do you have it?
That’s funny. No, not me. Wonder who.
Today I saw SN DLRS. “Sin dealers”? Is this Satan’s car?
Sn (stannum) is the chemical abbreviation for Tin. Could it be Tin Dealers?

Since the logo was in the back window it wasn’t too hard to figure out.
Seen in the parking lot of the local track: a late-model Toyota Supra with the plate, SUPRAA. Okay, makes sense, but why is the extra A there?
The other track denizens and I decided it was a midlife crisis.
Because somebody else already has SUPRA?
Yesterday I saw MARLO⎵13. It didn’t look like a fleet vehicle, so I bet they got that plate since MARLO and MARLO⎵1 through MARLO⎵12 were already taken. Either that or their last name is a real mouthful.
I’ve also seen 2 or 3 other more interesting ones in the last few days, but always when I can’t snap a pic or write it down. Damned if I can remember any of them now. I call it “brain fogey”. Like brain fog, but with a specific cause.
Perhaps Spanish “sin dolares”, meaning “no money” (literally, “without dollars”)
Or Sand Dollars.
I am not sure from what level 2DNXLVL is going to in his Tesla, hopefully something nice. As long as IPA␣4ME isn’t driving while drinking he can like them all he wants. 5AY5␣YEU clearly got creative with how to tell people off. I guess ALLONZ-Z thinks it is time to go.
That last one I feel is quite clever and requires you to to understand French and English. Allons is the imperative of the verb Aller, (to go) in French, and if you were to strictly pronounce the z afterwards using French pronunciation it would be zed. But if you use the American English pronunciation it would be zee. Which means if you combine French and English when you read the plate you get the correctly pronounced Allons-y which means let’s go.

Agreed; it’s also possible that the plate owner is a Doctor Who fan, as “allons-y” was frequently uttered by the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant).
I just saw one that’ll be obvious to IT types but obscure to many others: USE␣2FA.
I suppose the car owner is in the web security biz.
Somebody snagged the one-A Supra already would be my guess and they didn’t want SUPR4.
That is interesting, I have never seen Doctor Who so I would not that reference, the only other English reference I could think of is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The french say it when they are about to get the wooden bunny. It is a bit difficult to hear, but it is funny side bit they do.

At Cars and Coffee this morning a Corvette owner had
WYAIF
He said it’s a Corvette-specific plate with a Corvette-specific meaning. Anyone know what it means?
I dunno what it means, but in searching for WYAIF, I found it in this list of Corvette vanity plates owned by members of a Corvette forum.
I’ll take a low-confidence stab that WY means “Why yes,…”
Separately I thought IF is “… is fast”.
But I don’t have a good answer for the A in the middle that fits both ends. So I bet one (or both) of my ends is wrong.
Saw a sorta headscratcher today. Tesla Model S with INSTG8R. Pretty clearly that’s “instigator”.
But of what? And are those things good or bad?
Saw a Porsche SUV (Gaah, what has the world come to??!?!) with the Florida golf-themed plate background. The text was PAR␣004. Which is not a current pattern for ordinary non-personal plates, so it had to be deliberate.
WYAIF = Wrap Your Ass in Fiberglass!
