My sister Patti spotted this license plate in Billings, Montana in 2016. We think he must have meant it to read “Retired.” We both saw it as something else!!! Hopefully he has since changed his vanity plate. (That last letter is a “d” not an “o”.)
I’m imagining this guy handing in his application for the plate at the Montana DMV. The kind lady serving him tries a few times to gently make him understand the implications of his move, but he’s hardheaded and pounds the counter. “G***Da***it, I done worked 60 years to re-tar, and I won’t have some sniveling gubment bureaucrat block my choice!” She nods and approves his request. What she utters under her breath as he storms out? Well, we can only guess.
I read it as “retro” until you pointed out the last letter is a “d.” I think you’re right, he probably meant it as “retired.”

i know.. I was afraid people would look quickly and not notice it was a “d.” It wasn’t really clear.
