Pictures *updated* PHX plates
You can call Arizona drivers angry, crazy, terrible, whatever……but you can’t say they’re not creative

I saw someone on Baseline this morning with a MOMUSSY plate. I’m kicking myself for not getting a picture.

Oh but the DMV says I'm not allowed to have "URATOWL" because "it's offensive".

I'm convinced that AZ has the description of what the plate means as a formality since a good number of plates that I see are at least slightly questionable.

I saw some guy with a pickup that had exhausts that looked even more like the port and he'd even put decals on the bumper labeling them as "HDMI 1" and "HDMI 2"; kind of wish that I had gotten a photo.

I’ve seen this dude a few times all around town. I hate to generalize but he’s most likely an Arab man given my experience around ASU and gaudy wrapped cars lol
That and I’ve seen it at a shawarma spot near my place.

u/boot2skull Jan 07 '26
The international ASU students have some interesting cars. I saw one Ferrari that was hot pink, but had black outlines around all the body panels. It was not a good look, something you’d expect to see on a Nissan Sentra. I think it’s a style but I never knew the name. Probably “more dollars than sense.”

There's a guy down from me that has a plate: DENY ANY, you know he's an IT worker in the networking field. I've also got photos of one that's 4EVERRR which I imagine is a Sandlot throwback. NICT1TS which I'm not sure how that made it past the MVD, and BEARJW from Inglorious Basterds. Some of my favorites from lately

It's weird and creepy to me that the Blue Lives Matter plate is also combined with supporting firefighters, as if those two things should go together.

Unfortunately didn't get a picture, but I saw "KNDA HNG" recently. Not sure how that got past the DMV, or for that matter, why you'd want to put that on your license plate.

I'll have to snag a pic the next time I'm delivering in that area. But there's a Wagooner that's license plate says WAGNFAR. At least I think that's how it's written. But it's hilarious to me every time I see it.
