We both did a double-take approaching this pick-up truck a few days ago:
Once you think about it (though it helps to see the logo on the side of the truck), it’s clearly a AAA service that delivers and installs replacement car batteries.
The lack of punctuation makes it easy to read as a service that delivers and installs… AAA batteries.

In California, you can get symbols on a personalized Kids License Plate (fees are donated to child safety programs)—which makes this particular choice even stranger.
I saw a truck this morning with a license plate that read:
After I tried to puzzle it out for a bit, I suddenly realized…
It’s pig latin.
I had a good laugh after that!
While driving home from work today, I glanced down at the odometer and saw it read 111,110. So I drove around the parking lot a bit, then stopped to snap a photo at 111,111:
OK, this isn’t exactly fascinating photojournalism, but really, how often are you going to see all odometer digits the same? Your car probably has a few miles on it when you drive it off the lot, so you never see 000000. And what are the chances that you’ll still be driving the same car after 222,222 miles?
(In case you’re wondering about the trip odometer, it didn’t roll over at exactly the same time. I zeroed it because I figured it would make a better picture – all 1’s on one row and all 0’s on the next.)
Given that most of us think we are above-average drivers, you’d think people wouldn’t expect other drivers to be telepathic.
Turn signals prevent other drivers from hitting you! (Or at least reduce the chances of it.)
I am amazed time and time again as I see people driving shiny new Mercedes, Lexuses (Lexi?), and BMWs dodging in and out of traffic without signalling, trusting those below-average other drivers to have above-average reflexes and precognitive abilities.
