The license says 9PEN155. I think it says PENIS. The driver was a man. Did this guy win the license plate lottery? Or did he pay for a vanity plate that was subtle enough that it got through the censorship?

Paying for vanity plates is too expensive. It was cheaper to legally change my name to "PJR 567".
9 to 5 penis
If that went through a censor, they need a new censor.
It clearly states he has 9 penises
That's his "number."
A man with 8 sons.
My theory is that it is saying to "9 to 5 penis"
Dicking around work? Could be legit.

Do California license plates normally come in the format 1AAA111?
yes and they won't let you buy a vanity one in that format either.
Yes
Yes
Kind of match with their climate and forest fires.
What does the license plate character format have to do with climate or forestt fires?
You get to shout Ahhhhh!!!!! it's burning or super dry! Just my dark joke guess people did not get it lol.
Ah, a friction burn joke. It might have been a little :ahem: dry.
Big fan of "openness", not a big fan of spelling.
I thought this was a Tesla at first and I hoped he'd gotten a free vanity plate from a clever DMV worker.
I'm surprised that got through the vetting process, which I thought existed in most places.
Here in the UK, potentially offensive plates are altered or just plain skipped. There was a sitcom in the '90s that used one such "illegal" plate as an end-of-episode visual punchline, which had, up to that point, only been referred to as a "pornographic number plate". There's no way it would have made it onto the road in reality. P one five five OLE as I recall.
To give you some idea of how stringent it is here, back in 2007, one region had one of their region codes temporarily changed to TN from SN so that their plates wouldn't start with "SN07", i.e. "snot". Something similar almost certainly happened in 2017 for the SH region code, but I don't remember any news stories about that.
California does also have a rule against potentially offensive vanity plates. I was also surprised this got through.
That's the true Naga π
