My Tag Fell Off

So I was going to get my car washed today, and as I'm driving I notice this Scion XB is trying to catch up to me. Well gets along side me and starts honking at me, and it's an older lady trying to get my attention. I was kind of getting on it a couple miles back so naturally I thought she wanted to lecture me on my driving. I rolled down my window and she tells me that she saw my tag fall off from the back of my car about a few miles back and she was trying to catch up to me to tell me. I couldn't believe this because my girl friend was following me in her car and she didn't even notice anything. Well I got to the car wash and looked at the back of my car, and my tag was not there. In fact the 2 black plastic anchors that the screws go in fell out with the tag.

To make a long story short, I had to do some back tracking and eventually found my tag.

I went to the local dealer, Ed Voyles , and they got me the new anchors and screws free of charge . It was the first time i've dealt with that dealer, and they were totally cool. I'll definitely go there for work in the future.

Anyway, I thought I'd post it up cause it's weird what happened. So check your license plates

You got something free from ed voyles? Wow. They love to take your money. I just replaced those plastic clips with some screws. They seem to work a little better.
