GOTTMLK

The reference is obvious, especially when one considers the plate holder: 60th Dairy Princess. Two simple Google searches with correct terms yield the name of the owner of this Grand Am. I guess it's a big deal to be North Dakota Dairy Princess.  It looks like they give you a used Pontiac with vanity plates.

Verdict: Got milk?

JP FRK

You'd think a Jeep freak would have one helluva ride. It turns out that this person is probably just a Jeep appreciator.

Verdict: Jeep freak.

CRAM1

Side note first: This is the Lewis and Clark series of North Dakota license plates authorized by the Legislature about a decade ago. The idea was to commemorate the Corps of Discovery wandering through the state in 1804 and 1806. This was supposed to generate tourism... or something.

Anyway, despite the obvious "CRAM ONE!" take on this plate, there is a sane reason for it. It's C-Ram, Inc., a local business. I suppose CRAM1 is better than CRAM2.

Verdict: C-Ram, Inc. Visit them at www.c-ram.com.

ABWEHR

North Dakotans generally fall into three categories: Germans, Norwegians, and the other forty-five people. The German part is especially true in the south-central region of the state, where this photo was taken. Abwehr is German for defense. Is this person perhaps an assistant junior high football coach?

Verdict: Abwehr, German for defense.

DBL EGL

There are few groups of people who are more likely to have a vanity plate than golfers. I predict that DBL EGL is not the first golf-themed plate we come across in North Dakota... which is sort of surprising when you stop to consider that the golf season in the state is approximately four months long.

Verdict: Double eagle. Jealous much?

BACK DR

Now, the obvious solution to this puzzle is back doctor. But what about back door?

Yeah, I know. It's back doctor. A back door man wouldn't be seen in this grocery-getter.

Verdict: Back doctor.

FOXYBOX

I do not know the owner of this vehicle, so I cannot attest to the motivation behind this delicious plate. FOXYBOX obviously refers to the vehicle, the very boxy, somewhat foxy, Scion xB. But I refuse to believe that the owner of this xB didn't also realize certain individuals (like me) would draw conclusions other than the obvious.

Verdict: Foxy box... the car being the box.
