I should also have mentioned that there are usually a legion of “advisors” who make bank shepherding these things through the twin hazards of the bankruptcy court and the vulture financiers.
Perhaps the Bentley driver is one of those fine folks.
I just saw a Michigan plate w Z06VETT. What made it interesting was the car was a Lincoln MKS stodgy sedan.
One might suspect that the plate was “correct” for the prior car which it was on. Either that, or the owner just really really wants a Z06.
My thought exactly. Maybe he got old enough that climbing down into a Z06 had gotten too hard, but he couldn’t part with the plate as a reminder of a well-spent early retirement. 
Kinda like me. So far.
I was unable to get close enough to get a good look at the driver, so this is all speculation.
A couple days ago I saw a F-150 pickup with one of the FL special military plates. These are available for a variety of DoD service awards and qualifications and you can’t get one unless you submit your service records to DMV to prove you earned the badges or decorations you want on your plate.
This one had the US Army Paratrooper and Air Assault badges. Not so unusual in itself, but the plate text was EVY⎵B. Evy was apparently rather a badass in her youth.
Heh. I came here today to post a plate I saw earlier this afternoon on I-35 just south of Kansas City. The car was a small Ford model, probably an Escort, with the license plate 3500HP.
Not sure what his prior ride was, but I’m quite sure the Escort-ish car he was driving doesn’t quite achieve 3500 horsepower.
Maybe they pilot a 3500 horsepower escort tugboat.
Two skiing related ones today:
There are a lot of diesel locomotives that don’t reach 3,500hp. Dunno about what a dragster might reach.
Just saw a current era Ford Bronco. With the very clever plate BRNCO11.
TOO SLOW on a red sporty something or other that was flying down the road cutting people off changing lanes. I only saw the plate when I caught up to him stopped at a red light.
So all that zippin’ and zoomin’ didn’t do shit for them.
Typical.
The nature of being aggressive on a road w traffic lights is sometimes you make an extra light and sometimes you don’t.
The former constitutes a 2-3 minute win and the latter constitutes a 10-15 second win over being a bovine follower of the car in front in your lane.
Either way you’re winning and everyone else is losing. The harder you play the game the more large wins you garner over time.
A skilled player minimizes ruffled feathers along the way. Ideally achieving zero ruffled festhers. An unskilled or stupid selfish player leaves a trail of annoyed drivers and sudden brake applications. That’s despicable.
Top fuel dragsters generate somewhere between 8000 to 10000 HP and roughly 7500 lb-ft of torque.
My exact words were “Did you a lot of good, didn’t it?”
Saw a Tesla Model Y with DULCE⎵1. Parked at a frozen yogurt takeout parlor.
I wonder if that was the owner stopping by, or just a fro-yo fan? Or was the plate unrelated to their sweet tooth, and just a comment on their disposition? Enquiring minds …
The owner of a local soup restaurant in my area has [the license plate version of] MAKE SOUP.
I just saw a plate I thought was clever: LOC8N X3
I’m guessing they’re a realtor.
Saw this today in my small Kansas town: 87KELCE
A Chiefs fan, of course.
Saw a Toyota SUV with I⎵BITE⎵U. No other distinguishing stickers, signs, etc.
Not a real friendly vibe.
Yeah that’s a little too kinky to be on a plate.
