Hi,
This Z owner either was named Dodge, was confused about his car brand or wanted folks to avoid hitting him:

DODGEZ


Or maybe from Dodge City KS.

I saw these on my drive home yesterday...
TRY GZUS - ???
CW04 USA - Possibly the letter "O" in there and not a zero. If that's the case, this car could belong to a US Army Chief Warrant Officer level 4.

I believe (could be wrong) the Z was built in the old Dodge plant that closed in the late 90's...

Hi,
Could it be a record company exec who really loves Digital Rights Management?

I would think that LVTHEDRM meant something along the lines of "Live the dream".

I get the "state" part but I'm not sure about the EE.

Maybe an Electrical Engineer for the State? Dunno.

I'm gonna guess it is similar to townspeople calling themselves "townies" - this person was a Statee. Native born and bred.

As for the CWO4 USA one, my Grandpa is a reitred Air Force CWO - I'll ask him if he knows of a specific meaning...
But I figured it was CWO for the USA.

That's been a while. The last active duty Warrant Officer left in 1980.

NC State is well known for their engineering programs. It seems clear to me that this is an EE (probably Electrical Engineer or possibly Environment Engineer) who goes to or went to NC State.

Help us help you. Please read FAQ 181-2886 before posting.
 

I think anotherhiggins and SantaMufasa are probably right about EE being about engineering, although Lee's idea is entirely plausible. Thanks.

Yup - Grandpa turns 88 this year. Still driving around in his Chevy Avalanche pulling his 35 foot Airstream trailer.

Not as much as he used to because loading that thing up for a trip is pretty exhausting.

He doesn't let Grandma drive any more though. ;-)

And to stay on topic, his plates read REGION3 because that is the Airstream club region he is in and also, after retiring from the Airforce, he was the regional director for the State Dept of Education. Region 3.
