Literally being keked by your state
I know this is just a shitposting thread but I think some cars look better with front plates. Fight me in real life.
>>13833492
you can just say irl instead of in real life. it makes it quicker

>he lives in a country that, BY LAW, REQUIRES him to wait 25 years to import a car
Front plate required, can have 4oz of weed and 6 flowering plants at home, transport 1oz anywhere.
>I'll take it.
>put front plate on dash
>never receive a ticket
I don't even think it counts as being a front plate but I've never been bugged about it.
>>13833516
Are your normal options so bad you have to import to get anything good?
>>13833521
I concur, relative.
>>13833487
>Laws
>police
>>13833523
you just literally described america in the 80's when mercedes kuked you because european cars were better equipped
>>13833542
Within the brand, yes, but there aren't exactly a ton of performance enthusiasts in America buying a Mercedes over something else.
I love seeing nice cars that weren't built for front plates with one basically duct taped on, all lopsided. Hilarious

No.
>not running a front plate in states that DON'T require one.
>no front plate
>inspection sticker expired in may
>"illegal" headlights
>modified ride height
Don't know how I never get pulled over in the thing. Probably because I have a stock exhaust and I'm white.
>tfw when i get a winch i won't have anywhere to put front plate
oh well
My state requires a front plate, but it's only a secondary offense. That means you have to commit a primary offense before they can tack on anything about a front plate.
>>13834019
>"illegal" headlights
Why is illegal in quotes?
>>13833487
>he lives in a state where the weather and the salt will rip your nice car out from under you
>>13834245
Stock headlights were terrible at night, so I put in some projector headlights. Way better visibility with a good cutoff. For some reason, that's illegal for me to do. I think it's because they don't have DOT stamped on them.
>>13834285
It's illegal because they're bullshit, but at least you aren't blinding anyone. What size are those? 7"? You can get legit replacements for it that aren't garbage like the JW Speaker LED luminaires.
>>13834298
Yeah, 7". What's bullshit about them?
>>13834319
Where did you get them? Few companies sell legit projectors outside of a housing, and those projectors are not legal or safe when installed inside of one. Even worse if they are some knockoff or blatantly Chinese projectors because you know they weren't actually employing engineers to produce them.
With video tolling in NY it blows to come in a vehicle that has no front plate and then it fails to read the E-zpass tag RFID so then you have to wait 10 minutes as cars honk at you for a toll worker to come over and manually raise the gate so you can proceed.
>>13834353
Don't remember the name of the company. I think I bought them through GoMiata a few years ago.
>>13834372
Yea, they're lies. Either get Cibie H4 7" upgrade lamps or JW Speaker. Maybe Trucklite if you feel JWS costs too much.
>there are people who live in a place that isn't Arizona
Holy fuck, I literally cannot believe that there are car enthusiasts who live out of this state.
>>13834402
What's so special about arizona?
>>13836507
Not actually sure, I've never left the state, but from what I've heard it's the best.
>>13836516
>>13836516
Kek. Nice try. Only states I haven't been to are Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, and Montana.
>>13833487
>live in front plate state

>go home and immediately remove front plate again
I've only had to do it twice over several years. $20 is well worth it. And that's when I had to keep my car on a busy street in plain view of passing cops. Now that I live in a gated apartment with my car in a covered, assigned parking spot, I won't have to worry about that anymore.
I haven't had a real front plate in about 5 months. Been pulled over for other stuff but they never even mention the plate.
>>13834019
No, probably because the cop knows you're a poor pleb virgin driving around in a clown car. He probably feels bad for you.
>>13833521
>get in fender bender
>pull bumper off to fix electrical shit
>can't get it back on because lol frame damage
>stick plate on dash
>never heard a word about it
It's been almost a year too.
>>13834019
So if owning a miata makes you a faglord then what does it make me to be saving your pic of said faglord car?
>>13833487
2 of my vehicles are registered in 2-plate states . Never use the front one because cops honestly don't give a fuck. The only time anybody has mentioned anything is when I drive through the gate at work and rarely (like less than 1% of the time) does the security ever say anything.
>"Yeah, I'll fix it."
>Never do.
>Several months or even years pass and get called out again.
>Give them the same line and play it the same way
Only one of cars is properly plated, but that's because the manufacturer made the bumper to integrate the front plate.
>>13833516
That's only if you want so over-hyped Japanese or European shitbox satiate your hipster taste.
The globalization of the auto industry is practically making the 25 year rule more and more pointless with each passing year.
>>13833487
>living in a flyover state
I'd rather live in the 1st world, desu senpai.
We may have front plates, but at least our speeding tickets are cheap and we have ze Autobahn. What's the big deal about not having front plates anyway?
>live in province where front plates required
>never display front plate
>keep it in map sleeve behind seat
>keep single screw in glovebox to have an excuse for it not being on if I get pulled over and the officer actually notices
>done this for 2 years and no one has ever fussed about ut
>>13833516
Lives in a monarchy.
>>13833963
Moved from il to fl myself.
Some people have different plates,as in from other states,on the front.
Kinda stupid,but oddly legal.
>>13836660
fix it tickets here cost over a hundred bucks
>>13837585
Merriclap here, same story. Cops just don't care in the slightest
>>13837585
I did this and got pulled over for it while driving down the street after work to get gas. I didn't put my seatbelt on because I was driving maybe 100ft down the street but this cop had eagle eyes and somehow saw that I had no seat belt on. Pulled me over and gave me a seat belt ticket which was EXPENSIVE AS FUCK. Told me he didn't really care about the front plate but he does the seatbelt.
Running no front plate is basically free reign to pull you over and find reasons to give you a ticket.
>>13837774
Not wearing a seatbelt is free reign to give you a ticket
>>13837776
No it isn't dumb ass. It's a secondary offense in a majority of the states that have seat belt laws. Police can't pull you over for it.
>>13837745
>not living in a constitutional monarchy country
>not having basic safety tests on cars
>>13837774
hahah, >Told me he didn't really care about the front plate but he does the seatbelt
cares about keeping you safe from yourself, but motorcycles are fine. Gotta love arbitrary violations for muh revenue. Nanny state knows what is best for you, do not display free will or else.
>>13833487

Apparently in the minds of Amerifats 35% are a majority. Explains their horrid so-called democracy.
>>13839089
>lying like that
It's more than 35% dude
>>13839090
why do americans always get so defensive
>>13839090
Not really
t. another german
PS: you should go with the "WE CAN GO AS FAST AS WE WANT TOO (AS LONG AS THE COPS DON'T SEE US DOING IT) line of defense first next time
>This whole thread lives in countries where you can get arrested for drinking and driving
Man living in Germany sounds great, sure you will never own a fun or interesting car, even shitty cars cost twice as much to buy, fuel, and insure, and modifying them is illegal/impossible. BUT I could go the same speed that I already do on American highways and instead of a .01% chance of getting a speeding ticket it would be 0%. Sure I could go drive on amazing twisty roads or at the track here in the US, neither of which is possible for normal people in Germany (as their main race track with public access has speed limits and tons of traffic), but that's not really fun, what is fun is driving fast in a straight line in traffic, that's why Germany has the US beat.
>>13839141
>twice as much to buy
Incorrect.
>fuel
Correct, but in return our daily commutes aren't spread out like diarrhea so the average German driver only needs to drive half as much as the average American driver, meaning the same fuel costs as a share of their income, also LPG is the equivalent of around $3 a gallon in Germany if you still insist on driving cheaper.
>insure
Incorrect unless you're a notorious crasher. Also traffic violation points don't affect your insurance in Germany.
>>13837995
Good job using that greentext there m8
>>13834165
Same, but you can still get parking tickets
>owning a car designed for a front plate
Lol, I'm in a state requiring one, but car was not designed with bumper to house one. Don't legally have to have it.
I get constant parking tickets by retarded patrol. Just sent them in with paperwork. Not really a problem

this is why america is the laughing stock of the rest of the world. because of stupid insecurities such as this thread " BUT IT'S FUNNY HURR FRONT LICENSE PLATE!" you're all idiots by the way
>>13843849
No, but the place where you are operating it generally is.
>>13839228
are you seriously asking why the engine is at 4400rpms at 110mph?
>>13837774
so no front plate is like being black
>>13839056
just checked. out of my usual 300km route, 259km are without speed limits. exceptions are tunnels (80km/h), interchanges (100km/h) and some curves (130km/h).
>>13839153
let him live in the fantasy that 180kmh are fast.
>>13839228
You do realise that just because it is the 7th forward gear, it actually has no indication of it's actual gear ratio, right?
>>13833492
Don't kid yourself. This is a shitposting board.
