Not 100% sure on this one, but just saw it while out for lunch:
It was on an 80s or 90s model Mercedes convertible, and I think I remember it was dark blue... top was a faded black, maybe...
My only guess would be something like:
My $4,000 Benz
It's probably a silly guess.

Saw CLOSEUP this morning.
Saw it pretty close up too (construction ftw).
PHEWISH I think was on an expensive car. Not sure though, it was last week and with an 8 hour drive one way, I saw a lot of cars.

Saw two more on the way home today.
SPL BRAT This plate was misplaced, in my opinion. First, it was on a Chrysler Sebring...not exactly a high-priced vehicle you would expect a spoiled brat to be driving. Second, it was parked at a Steak and Shake...for those of you who have been to a Steak and Shake will know that it's not the most fancy restaurant around. Then again, they were from out-of-state, so maybe they didn't know.
NEST4U This was on a Lexus. Something to do with a nest egg, perhaps? Thoughts?

As to the reference for Stake and Shake, there were some fairly well-to-do, or at lest high-paid persons who worked with my wife once who went to Steak and Shake all the time.
But frankly, in my opinion, I've NO IDEA why they did. I think it's SUPPOSED to be sort of a high-falutin fast-food spot in a way, but again, I don't know why. The food is well below McD's standards IMHO.![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")

If they got the Sebring for free, and it is a new one, not a few years old & used, then I would still consider them spoiled.
Half of my friends considered me spoiled because I got a 7 year old hand me down vehicle given to me.

I saw one on the way to work on an beat-up old Chevy Impala (or something similar): ISUEM.
My thoughts on this, he/she likes to bring lawsuits but his/her lawyer gets all the money or he/she's a bad lawyer who doesn't win many lawsuits.

The ABOOT part just makes me think of Canadians. However, that would leave me with nothing for TT. No clue.
Saw [blue]TRTLPTL[/blue] this morning.
I would guess that the first part is for TuRTLe, but I can come up with nothing for PTL if it is.

Talkin' aboot?

I want to be good, is that not enough?
