One very puzzling one I saw awhile back…
On a car with many signs indicating they were a fan of the University of Florida Gators football team, they had this combination:
G8TRB8
Which I read as “Gator Bait” which is what the “other team” is referred to …
On the back of an SUV–I don’t remember the model, but it was this huge, hulking metal beast that obscured the sun as I sat in my car behind it: BADMPG
Undoubtedly true, but I wasn’t quite sure why the woman driving felt compelled to confirm this fact for us.
NO HFRS
It was a young guy in a pickup. I’d wager he’s single, and doesn’t get many second dates.
It means, “no heifers”, which means, “no fat chicks”.
Whistlepig
I saw a truly awful one yesterday.
YT PRIDE
It was on a pickup festooned with a large “stars and bars.”
There’s some douchebag tooling around Orlando in a red Beamer with a little Italian flag and a license plate that says “CAIO”.
Presumably he thought that’s how you spell “ciao”…
Oh damn. Here I go, showing my dumb ass again.
What does the YT stand for in YT PRIDE, please?
YT
wye t
white
there’s a little “Z” type car tooling around with
“BLUE1NZ”
pride? complaint? huh?
and why isn’t Phoenetics spelled fonetiklee?
I saw one a few years ago – IHVADRM, which I mistakenly interpreted as “I have a dorm” instead of “I have a dream”.
Blue Onesie? Like the babies wear? Perhaps the person is advertising their incontinence or spiritual rebirth through aJapanese machine? Or they are a depressed Kiwi?
This is a good one.
I also hate the ones that aren’t easy to figure out. I end up driving behind them thinking, “What the hell does that mean.”
When I get a new car, I’m going to have a vanity plate reading: DOUBT IT, but only if I can get the space between the words. Because DOUBTIT looks wrong.
He could hang out with my pal from the OP, URUGLY. I didn’t mention in the OP that I often saw Mr. UR out waxing his car or doing who-knows-what to it…and every time he was in a slimy looking tank top and eyeballing everyone who walked by.
And LunaSea?? How the heck did that YT PRIDE ever pass the DMV review? I thought they’d usually turn down anything the least bit controversial.
Finally, I must confess my ignorance…Telemark, what does the Beetle plate mean?
I saw a hulking SUV a few years ago with “NOT SML” on it… I laughed very hard.
Then there was the 20-something driving some obscenely expensive red sports convertible (on his cel phone, no less) sporting plates reading “ICU2QT”
