That bracket would be neat if you could engage it from the interior - Cop pulls you over, you flip a switch & your plate pops up

No front plate ticket here. Cost me $100. Guess he had a "reason" to pull me over.

I've never had a problem with no front plate since I got the car in 2003.

I went without a front plate up until last year. But I'm using that Rick's angled front plate mount and it seems to be okay. Still, the car looks so much better without one.

got pulled over 2x for this and both times I had to pay. First time was $50 and the next $150. I still don't run with front plates because it's just that much better looking.

so i guess then it's not a fix it ticket?

but a clear fine.

one time i got pulled over for having "overly worn rear tires." i got a $70 ticket, but when i went in to get it signed off that i had put on new rear tires, I never got any further correspondence about having to pay that $70

how the cop saw that my tires were so worn....

that's a story for another time boys and girls

That all leads to trying to find something to pull you over with. Most of the times, especially at night, they're looking for drunk drivers, and in my book thats good. I just don't like the harrassment behind it all.

OHHH just don't drive down in the Southern states with no front plate and a loud exhaust......I was profiled pretty good last year about that. Freakin' Virginia troopers!

Jeremy did you goto Fall Colors? Or another event. I do know that radar detectors are illegal around those parts.
