Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Offtopic (car up for sale)

been there...done that...got pulled over without running a front license
plate on my Stealth and got a warning.  The dealer wanted like 50
bucks for the front license plate holder and I wasn't about to pay
that.  (I bought my car from Michigan where they don't have to run
front plates).  So finally I found a good deal on one off the
Internet and ordered the front license plate cover and it was freezing
cold so I didn't have a chance to install it...~3 weeks later the same cop
pulls me over again...for the same thing.  Needless to say I got
a ticket that time and after that my car had a front license plate. :)
doh!
