Almost got a ticket for no front plate?

After the meet last night Grand Prairie's finest pulls me over for no front plate. I got a warning but he said next time it will be a $280.00 ticket! If it is illegal than why would delearships allow you to drive off the lot with no front plate? There is no way that i am drilling holes to mount that! Any ideas?

Move to another state?

DE has no front plate, no stickers in the windshield, and can get a 5-year inspection/registration pass.........Oh yeah, Tax Free Shopping!!

^ How is this helpful? DE is also in the northeast, gets snow, is the size of my *** (ya, I'm fat what of it), has more ugly chicks that hot chicks (which seriously, there must be something in the water here!), has state income tax (income tax >>>>> sales tax), etc.

Have you factored in Real Estate taxes Something like $1/square foot.

F Texas! You got me on the women thing; yours are dumb as door nails but beautiful. Ours all have PhD's

As far as the rest of the South - Wonderful

You have no idea.... Like most people. The ONLY thing that could make Texas better is mountains and better beaches.

And RE taxes aren't $1/sf. They are based on property values (which are lower than the NE by a mile). And I don't know about you, but I'd prefer a fixed tax on my property than 7-15% of my income.

I'll take 1-2 days of some ice where the city shuts down compared to months of freezing crap and salt. And the 2-3 storms that produce tornados... big whoop.

Bush > Obama and his "redistribution" plan any day of the week.

The Cowboys are embarrassing though (as are the Rangers, Mavs and Stars!)

He has a 10, they are different mounts. The bungee/zip tie thing I posted is the least painful way of mounting a front plate.

Texass is a scary place. I'm always shocked when I drive outside of Austin and realize that I'm surrounded by it.

So you're gonna refuse any tax breaks that they try to "redistribute" to you , right?

Say what you will about Obama, But Ole Knucklehead agreed to bail out Wallstreet and AIG - the start of an avalanche! Plus I don't cringe when I listen to him speak or reason.

The $$ Taxes depend on the house and property I have no kids and a beautiful property - livin large.

And you're right - I have never been to Texas, so I REALLY do not know, but no one like a braggart, and that seems all too common with Texans.

We're all Evo owners, so..................
