Roger Penske’s “RPR-6” on his AMC Javelin
Inflation, don’t ya know 
Saw RADFORD in my doctor’s office parking lot. It wasn’t on a Ford so I’m guessing it’s someone’s name?
I saw this one the other day:
I have to wonder if it’s the same person I used to see with disabled plates that said “PZAMAN”*. I’ve always assumed that person owns the nearby restaurant called Pizza Man.
*Checking the DMV’s site, PZAMAN is still registered to the car I used to see it on.
I saw a BWEIRD plate, which is nice enough. But one bolt was missing on the front and the plate was hanging down. I wonder if that was on purpose?
Today I saw 2INSURE. Not real exciting, but the insurance business is a famous watchword for unexciting.
Hey now, I’m in the insurance business! We’re tons of fun… 
Anyways, another idiot driver this morning, another custom plate. I’m starting to think it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy… This time it was SPIFY on a white sporty something or other with a loud engine who was zipping along changing lanes willy-nilly cutting people off as he went. “Spiffy” must have already been taken.
I have no doubt you’re lots of fun. Those cow-orkers OTOH; jeez what party-poopers …
Saw an Audi SUV with the FL game fishing booster plate featuring a sailfish jumping high out of the water. Those plates hold 5 characters. This one said KPTIN which I think sounds best when read in an Ensign Chekov voice.
I also saw a generic car with the standard FL plate with 1⎵STUCK. That one left me wondering.
I saw a plate that I didn’t understand at first. The plate was MY 86 and the car was a newer Toyota 86, a model I’m not really familar with but I figured it out eventually.
California now has PINK license plates?
No. I asked her. They can wrap license plates now.
I wonder if, or when, this might be declared illegal. I mean, white on light pink might be colors determined to not have enough contrast.
For those like me who wondered what a Toyota 86 is:
I did some googling about this. As best I can determine, in CA altering the front plate has been legal since about 2014, subject to some restrictions on legibility. Altering the back plate in any way is flat illegal. As is covering it or obscuring it in any way.
Of course we all know enforcement of this stuff is negligible in every state. Hence my other thread about custom-made or altered official plates becoming commonplace in FL and asking about it elsewhere.
This may very quickly get like the crazy levels of speeding and aggressive driving on freeways where so many people are doing it that it becomes practically unenforceable.
ARMY RTY
I’m guessing “Arty” – artillery – but this was on a Women Veterans plate. Not impossible these days but cannon-cockers frequently have to tote around heavy objects by hand. Missileer, maybe?
Sometimes you go days without seeing any and sometimes you see 3 on one short drive.
First up is a Honda sedan with 2ND4EVR. The decode “Second forever” is very obvious. But the underlying meaning or story? Color me baffled.
Next up was a family wagon with JAR⎵⎵RR. I thought about various pirate noises, etc. I finally settled on the tired pattern of His’n’Hers (or Hers’n’His) initials. But the spouse in this driver’s family doesn’t have a middle name.
A few year old Kia or Hyundia sedan with REIKI⎵77. I know Reiki as a woman’s name and a type of pottery glazing. The 77 was a little mystifying until I got a good look at the driver. Who was driving in the right lane of a boulevard at 20mph below the speed limit.
I’m betting the car and plate was a 77th birthday present for them. ~5 years ago. Dude was ancient looking and driving like it too.
Possibly Hers/His, including her maiden name:
Julie Anderson Rogers and Richard Rogers.
But who knows?
Cool. I was artillery. Maybe I should get the plates for USMC RTY.
Saw a headscratcher today on my way home. SWIMGED Non-descript small blue SUV, couldn’t see the driver.
Toughy indeed. Maybe they wanted SWIMGUD for an aquatics aficionado, but that was taken, and this was the closest available alternative?
Or Swim God.
They got their GED, so they’ll swim (metaphorically) instead of sink?
They’ve been reading LeGuin, and don’t want Ged to drown in the ocean?
Saw a new one in our parkade today:
IOBJECT
Frustrated barrister?
Someone expressing their views on the modern world generally?
