that's an old car.

ETA: Didn't know they marketed it as a daytona on some of the newer chargers.

Yup. Kinda waters down the original.

Another today:

TOPZTOY - blue Toyota Tacoma, veteran specialized plate with a plate bracket that said "Retired 1SG - U.S. Army 1989 - 2009"

THECHLD with a Baby Yoda is my Co-Pilot plate holder, Orange-Red Ford Focus, Michigan plate

I just don't see many vanity plates, or I don't register them unless they are really stupid.

Could it be a total cost of vehicle ownership thing and the money you would pay for a vanity plate just isn't worth it after everything is said and done? (Like, in MA there's an excise tax every year on the vehicle you own. That's just money stolen from your pocket because MA is like that. Does NJ do something similar?)

Possibly also other things with cost of living there too. Insurance, taxes, or costs in other areas probably make a vanity plate in NJ frivolous.

I don't know if this is even true, but I've definitely heard and then told people the reason VA has so many is because its free. Which would make me assume they cost money in NY?

Either someone who should be on a list or I can't figure out what it's supposed to actually be.



Uhhhh your 17 yard line?? I don't know

It’s gotta be Jamies Winston’s car, no? Was it in a Publix parking lot. Was the Publix mysteriously out of crab legs?

Twas not, was at a fancy golf course

I saw a sticker that said “I (heart) BDN” and immediately thought someone loves bidet’n (who wouldn’t?)

DMC MMC - TX white Tahoe with UT plates (white with orange horns)

Which made me think of both Run and one of of my clients.

Both seen on base today:

SHEVELL - An absolutely stunning 1970 (I think) Chevelle SS with a 454, fire engine red with a black racing stripe. Just gorgeous.

But that was leveled out by:

IYAAMMO - Maroon Dodge Ram LONGHORN edition 4 door with an extended cab

So, you kinda have to be Air Force to understand this one. The 'Ammo' career field has an acronym/initialism: IYAAYAS that stands for 'If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't Shit.' (Yes, the double negative is hilarious.) So the guy driving that pick up was a retired one of those types that makes dudes like me cringe.

With cerrano again, parking lot this time.

8BYNGAS - New Jersey, matte red Tesla

She had “hate” which I think is right.


I like the plates in the classic cars. The other one you just posted not so much.

SPOOKY - Black Toyota Tacoma

MEH MPG - Black 4 door Jeep Wrangler

CLVRGRL - White 4 door Jeep Wrangler pick up with Jurassic Park magnets on the door and a "It takes balls to be a soccer mom" window decal.

BRO MOV - Black Ford Mustang GT

Subaru outback, NY plate - UTICA

Paid extra for that when most would try to keep that secret.

G8RH8R - Infiniti suv with Uk license plate holder

Sorry chedda and phx.

Find that one IN YOUR DRIVEWAY?

No but it’s not the worst idea.

This should be a swamp connect category.

You’d think driving the kid everywhere for these college visits including leaving early Friday morning to get to Pittsburgh and early this morning to get back from Pittsburgh to fit her schedule would have her amenable to tracking license plates for me but NOOOOOOOOO

Best one I saw was from today anyway, just on the PA side of the Delaware River.

TARDIS54 - North Carolina, light blue Subaru Impreza hatchback. Older lady driver.

Last couple days...

Black Lexus SUV, NY plate - MAHMOOD1

Silver mid-size sedan - STEELR73

Silver mid-size Chevy SUV - SNAZEE1 (with Steelers license plate holder)

Good shit on those last two.

I saw one yesterday and siri'd myself a note while driving but forgot about it until now.

It's okay. My wife has informed me she heard White Lives Matter is protesting at the Swan Pond in our town (the same one of the news story where the swan who was abducted and eaten by some teenagers). If that's the case, I may have to make a turn into a crowd on the way to our eldest's theater camp performance in a little bit.

SXYBECK - NC plate, Jeep Grand Cherokee

FUN KAR - Blue BMW coupe at the end of my street

Also, I got YAW4MS for my car the other day. $52. Money well spent.

BBY HULK - black TX license plate on hulk green beamer.

I think NC might be ground zero for personalized plates. My aunt and uncle used to have DEBBOB4 and DEBBOB5 when they lived in Charlotte.

Just passed a grey Toyota Tacoma with SLVRLINE. NC plates. I'm in Asheville for another 10 days. I'm sure I'll have more to add.

Black Hyundai Tucson Tennessee plates. BETHLUM

HAPP FAN. Indiana plates. Cubs stickers all over the car.

PXEDUST NC plates maroon Honda CRV
