Kntrider,
Is my car parked kinda like the picture?
Had to take the Suzuka to the garage early today because of Mother Nature's angry disposition!!!!

Be careful in Frisco without a front plate. The "tax" there is $190.
Carry mine behind the passenger's seat as well. Some idiot broke my holder ... and no I didn't get a good look at myself, I mean whomever, when it happened

I've been ticketed in Euless but the cop never said a thing about the front plate being missing.
The two times I've written to my state legislator asking that the ridiculous law be repealed, I've received the same canned reponse- they aren't interested. I always vote against the jerk.
It's not just sports cars not displaying the plate. If you look around probably 25-30% of TX cars don't display them. They vote with their cars.
For OUTLAW442: take it to the racetrack to enjoy high performance. I don't want you plowing your truck at 107 mph on the fwy into a car with my granddaughter in it. I'd take that VERY personal. That's the kind of driving that produces road rage, and we have far too much of that here already.

I got two tickets in one week for expired inspection sticker, but I have never gotten a ticket for no front plate.

How miuch do they charge for the tickets? As you can imagine, my inspection sticker expired in 2003.
*edit*
After thinking about my post, I want to state that there is no illegal activity going on here.
If anyone in the DFW area has a turbo system and has trouble passing emissions tests, PM me and I can provide help, "legally".
And for legal purposes, refer to my signature below.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll see if I can get someone to sniff my exhaust.

I would have to also remove the 750 cc injectors and change out the injector clips. Also, with head work and less than 9:1 compression, I don't know how that would affect the stock ecu.
