From other evidence (license plate frame, the cover on the trailer hitch connector) it's a Green Bay fan, not someone named Packer.

I don't care how cute your plate is, you were driving too fast!

It also took me a while to get, because I started combining the N and T instead of the T and H.

If you are whining about people driving too fast and you could still see the license plate, then it's time for you to hand in your license.

SLNGSHT - first thought was a reference to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. But that N wouldn't fit.

Note that in astronautical aspects, Apollo 13 used the moon to sling shot themselves back toward Earth (using very little fuel) where they managed to gain speed in the process.

The car passed me on the right, then we all slowed down when the two lanes merged.

I saw one this morning on the way to work that said 865 NKW. It was on a Toyota Sienna. Any ideas what that one might mean?
