ACCURRRon an Accura, of course!
BOAT RCR boat racer
CADISMAGOn a Cadillac; not sure what the MAG portion refers to, though possibly MAGnet?
CH!CK TKChick truck? !!...
CYA!ZMZ!See ya! The last three letters have simply got to be a reference to Mazda (zoom zoom!)...
FERGZTRK"Ferg's" truck?...
DZ MINE"This is mine"--on a Mercedez...
GDBLEXUS "GDB" are probably the initials of the driver of this Lexus
GETUONE2 This plate was seen on a pickup truck -- clearly a driver recommending the breed...!
GLUS BUSNot sure what a "glus" is, and I'm also not sure whether the vehicle bearing this plate was, physically, a type of bus or not...
GOZGO5 Probably a NISSAN reference here ("Z"), and apparently a popular one given the accompanying number (or else the number 5 could be standing in for an "S")...
HOGS Either a motorcycle afficionado, or a farmer...
HOTROD-I Hotrod (Roman numeral "I")? Or, hotrod and the letter "I"?
IDZRVIT Great plate! This one was mounted on a sparkling white Mercedes SLK350...nice!
IMPHOLLAIf you say this quickly, you can get "impala" -- I'm assuming that's what this driver is telling everybody...
JEEPAV8R"Jeep pilot" -- very clever, using letters/numbers to form "aviator"
J&L TRUXI'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess the J&L sell or rent trucks...
LIVSTANGthe Mustang life!
LOVEBUG2 Either the fan of the movie car, or this driver feels there's a resemblance with her/his car...
LVMYJEEPJeep driver's are pretty loyal to the brand...
MACSBMRThere's always at least one BMW (Beamer) fan out there!
MUNY BUG A young woman was driving the bright red Volkswagen beetle ("bug") that bore this plate
POOH CAR Got a kick out of this one! No references on the vehicle (a van) such as stickers, etc., to Winnie the Pooh--so can't say anything more certain about the reference...
RIDE.NA fan of riding in a vehice (as opposed to on a horse) I'm assuming...
RIDRAnd, here's another fan of riding something (most likely, the vehicle with this plate)...
SKLL This plate is actually a vanity plate version of a North Carolina specialty (group) plate. The specialty code is HG, which represents the Harley Owner's Group. The glossy black Ford pickup bearing this plate was equipped with "Harley Truck" shields on the sides, instead of a truck model number or name. The vowel needed to complete the plate title is pretty easy to figure out--even for those who are not fans of Wheel of Fortune...!
S-CLASSThree guesses what vehicle make this plate adorned...(Mercedes, if you don't know your vehicles)
SZ MATRZThis amusing plate was on a Mini Cooper S vehicle; these cars are indeed pretty small! Originally a British company, now owned by BMW...
TOY TRUKHmmh, wonder how this one is meant?...
TRK JEDI this fellow managed to get in a Star Wars mention along with his appreciation of trucks
TRKLADYFemale trucker, apparently...
TRCK RACRtruck racing fan--or else someone who races on tracks
TRUCKN 2 self-explanatory
UHEMI This might refer to some university--or, it might refer to one of those famous "HEMI" truck engines...uncertain which, for now...
VETSVETTOn a Corvette, of course, owned by a Veteran...
VICVOLVOpretty self-explanatory (sounds like cave man-speak...:-) ...
VW GIRLThis plate was on a shiny, gleaming black VW Jetta...pretty, pretty!
WARHORSEOn a plack pick-up truck. Maybe owned by a soldier given the reference...
WAR TRPHYThis plate was also on a black pick-up truck, almost surely owned by a G.I. who used his/her accrued combat pay to secure it (or at least to pay the deposit money)...
WIZCHEVY a Chevy fan
"Z" Seen on an old Datsun 280Z car!
Z'S 300Meaning a Nissan "Z" model, probably...
ZOOMFOR2Unfortunately, the spotter who recorded this plate did not notice the car model -- but it seems a good bet that it was probably a Mazda..."Zoom-zoom! (i.e., ZOOMX2).
Interesting story behind this brand name: In Japan, the company is "MATSUDA" -- but way back when the company began to export to the US, Japanese company execs seemed to believe that we poor Americans might have major trouble pronouncing the "-tsu" portion of the name, and so they opted for the shorter "MAZDA"--though the "Z" consonant followed by a "D" is itself one tough nut for Japanese to pronounce (Japanese requires a vowel to follow every consonant except "N")...
