I think that’s the most likely explanation too.
Is there a business nearby called Radiators Plus?
Richard Pryor and his 5 girlfriends?
R58P? (as in Our '58 P )Was it a vintage Pontiac?
Second look at the article reveals that it was a Toyota SUV. Model not named, so likely one of 4Runner, Highlander, RAV4, Sequoia.
I’m still trying to figure out what to make of the 14KGFPD plate I saw last week.
That (“Our '58 P”) was going to be my parsing, or maybe “Our five eights P” or “Our five eighths P”.
But I couldn’t think of anything the phrase could plausibly represent.
The article describes it as a Toyota SUV.

Can’t guess. But my favorite so far was seen last week
8 A PRIUS
on a monstrous HUMMER H1!
Spotted this one on the long slow slog home on a road that’s been infamously bad for years…

FDP stands for son of a bitch in a couple of languages. So, maybe 14 karat gold son of a bitch.
There are several SDMB threads about license plates, with that exact plate number mentioned. Odd.
:rolleyes:
It’s fairly obvious the owner is bragging about receiving their 5/8ths inch ear plug piercings. You all are very square and uncool not to know that. [Makes a square outline with fingers the same way the dirty hippy on Dragnet did.]
Some dude really into golden showers, prolly.

I don’t know what it means, but more importantly, I don’t care. Neither should the author of that article, or the idiot “reader” who took offense, or anyone else.
I deeply regret having to share a planet with people who feel compelled to report vanity license plates they don’t like. On the bright side, I found my answer for that “lowest form of human discourse” thread.
This, in that order.
Is every string of letters containing an R and a P supposed to represent “Rape” now? I don’t know how anyone could get “rape” out of that license plate, unless they were trying really hard to be offended and it was the only thing in their field of view. If anything, I’d assume it was supposed to be a emoticon of a long sheep or dachshund or something. Or maybe “rate-ate-ate-ate-ate-p” is someone’s version of “rat-tat-tat-tat”. I don’t know, but I could think of a hundred more likely interpretations than “this guy is a really big fan of rape”.
I was thinking it kind of looks like a sheep as well. Or some kind of snowman motif.
Why do you have to be searching for offense, to see rape? If you can think of one hundred interpretations, this could certainly be one of them.
I also briefly considered the possibility that it was an Audi R8 owner, until I read it was some Toyota SUV.
