You would think you'd be smart enough to put on a front license plate by now. I guess stupidity like yours can't be helped.

Why bother? That won't help you avoid a ticket.

Way too much effort. Nobody cares what your friend's car looks like.

He ever get on the freeway? CHP loves to pull people over for that and illegal window tint.
:thumbsup: Can anyone say "Probable Cause"?
If they give you enough "fixIt" tickets, they'll eventually "hold" your car registration to force compliance. ANY VEHICLE that is encumbered by the DMV that way is subject to immediate tow.

So, if you (Scott916) want to gamble with the man in CA that way, go for it.

check out a VW/Audi with US license plates.

check out same model with Euro plates.

Euro plates >>>>> US plates.

This is one reason I like driving classic cars. Here in TX all you have to do to legally have only a rear plate is have a car older that 25 years that is registered with and original to car year dealer tag. Dealer tags were only issued as a single plate and since no second one exists for the front you are not required to have one. I have on on my 57 T-Bird and several 1966 ones also, even thought it is not a big deal on the Mustangs as they have a provision for the front plate and it does not look bad but a front plate on the T-Bird looks nasty.

Sorry, but you sound like a stereotypical German car fanboy. There is nothing that is particularly aesthetically pleasing about either style.

I'm claiming an affirmative defense (double jeopardy) because I had already been cited a warning by a Fremont cop and the disposition of that case wasn't finalized until yesterday. Hopefully I'm not laughed out of the courtroom. All those hours of watching Law & Order will have been for nothing.

I predict they won't care if you still don't have it installed.

Reading FTL. The tickets were $30 a piece.. OP rounded up.

I still think the OP is an idiot. Not for not having a license plate installed. But for complaining about it here. OP is obviously okay with paying fines for what he thinks makes his car look better. So why complain about it here... makes no sense..

Hmmm.. i guess I would have to agree it does look awkward. But then just leave it off and pay the fines if thats what you want to do. Dont complain about it.
