The jist:
I report on a personalized license plate I saw during my commute and you all guess on the kind of car.
This week's plate: 2BU SUCS
And an added element this week: the driver was wearing a hat.

I see, says Ms. Claire Voyant...a retiree with these plates...driving a convertible - Mazda Miata or maybe a Sebring....wearing a jaunty little cap.
You're wrong MB. This is actually a very famous car. I'm surprised you could even see the chauffer at all, as the bullet proof windows on George W's Lincoln Townecar are usually all black.
Bush can't wear a hat...it gets in the way of the microchip he has implanted in his head by Karl Rove.
You know Mencken predicted Bush's presidency:
"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
Nope it was some other moron in that car...
MB, the hat is on the chauffeur. W sits in the back. You'll have to excuse my poor spelling in my original comment.
I say it's a blonde driving a car her parents just bought her for college graduation. She's engaged to be married in September to a feller that has promised her a big big big house....Some sporty & expensive little car like a convertible or an audi or a saab (Or an audi or saab convertible..)
This license plate's got me stuck. what is that BU? Is it Baylor University? Is it Boston University? If I could decipher the code, I could make a guess about the car... A little help please!
My fears have been realized. Miss Kate is so burried in her work that she no longer reads license plate. Allow me to spell it out for all you type A personalities.
To be you, Sucks!
This has to be W, because it's written backwards.
I forgot to mention the hat is one of those Britney Spears-ish Kangol sorts....
DAMN. Sylow, you can't blame my missing that one on ME... That driver's a bozo.
Sucks to be you, eh? Here we go:
28 yo white male, tanned, square jawline, short hair, cap on backwards (to go along w/ that backward phrasing...), driving a new convertible Mustang.
Ok-it's some marketing freak in his late 20's early thirties driving a hummer. I have to say it's a black baseball cap.
Just for a second I thought you saw a lisence plate that SUCCUBUS.
I don't even know where to go with that.
Some good guesses so far. Some less good. Even a little political discussion. A few regulars out there still straggling with their guesses. Game will end sometime this (tues) afternoon.
OK. Sounds like someone I grew up with. Definitely new-englander. Red Camaro, a little beat up (was my last guess a Camaro too?). About 17. Baseball cap, frayed at the brim and that grayish color that black hats when they get old. Only this is not an old cap, it is the new-old kind of Abercrombie and Finch hat. T-shirt, jeans, all slightly dirty. Flip flops. Working painting houses over the summer to pay for a new subwoofer for the car. Senior in high school in the fall. Definitely going to a keg party in the woods this weekend; probably going to get laid if he is lucky.
i got nothin'
sorry

dark silver or black stretch limo--driver is 50ish year old male--no idea if there is someone in the back; the window are quite tinted
I'm gonna say it's a 1979 Pontiac Parisienne, turd-brown, vinyl top starting to crack and yellow. The sides are pocked by rust, which is hard to see due to the oxidized dullness of the paint and the large pink bondo-patches. The hood, for reasons unexplained, is a rather unwholesome shade of green.
The interior of this elegance-mobile is white vinyl, or was white vinyl. There is a big rip in the centre of the driver's seat and the yellow foam is sticking up through it. The interior door panel is missing from the passenger side. It's impossible to comment on the status of the back seat due to a thick layer of old McDonalds, Big Boy, and Taco Bell bags.
The license plate was a gift from the mullet-laden owner's father-in-law, given just before the father-in-law was sent to jail for a series of minor, yet still serious offences. Mr. Mullet also has a few bumper stickers, including on that says "My other car is also a porsche" (although not for the ironic value), a AAA memebership sticker from 1980, an NRA sticker, and a sticker that proclaims that the driver is "Proud to Be Southern".
I forgot the hat - the hat, of course, is white mesh with requisite grease-stains. The front is orange, with a rebel flag stitched on. The mullet flows gloriously from the back.
