Fuck a front tag. I never put them on my vettes, nor do I think they should be on the front of any sports car.

There really is no proven advantage to a front tag requirement. ( I stand corrected, so besides what smokey said, there is no advantage)

The platypus mount is what I would use too.
This happened to me ..I told them no holes on the front bumper, have parts of whoever find me a bracket..Got it resolved

I'll never let a dealer "prep" a new car except for them filling it up with gas.

And on a vette id never run a front plate..id rather pay the fines, then drill holes in the front bumper

I just really don't care for the front plate on any newer car.

Holy crap, Gary how have you been? Good to see you still have this thing!

Well in that case, FRONT PLAYS FUCK YA. Unless it's a sports car that doesn't have a place for it like a Vette.

Geebus,

Last time I was in Myrtle Beach for a golf tournament, while I was headed from the golf course to sushi for dinner, I saw at LEAST six cars with underglow.

I thought that shit went out after F&F #1.

I want women to be forced to have 'Giners hanging from their back bumper/trailer hitches, just so I can avoid their driving. I also should have the right to flash my balls off my own hitch, AND be allowed to post up a sign on my doors that says All Fucking Hondah Faggots Suck Long Hairy Man Meat.

I think radar detectors should be legal. Not like half of those things work anyway... especially when tagged from the side. Its a source of revenue that helps deter out-of-staters. Hmmm... waitaminit... some of them drive worse than us.....

Dash-cams should also be legal FOR EVERYONE. If Officer Barbradey busts a vein in his neck screaming at me because I was going 2MPH over the limit in a school zone, then I should be able to humiliate his stupid ass on YouSuck (AND reward good officer behavior in kind!).

Exhaust noise. FUCK Harley Davidson. If they can get away with rattling grandmas windows at 4-fucking-o-clock then I should be able to.

And spinners. I like freaking out straights if Im at a dead stop and have dat jank spinning BACKWARDS. If I can get all four to spin in different directions, it would blow a yuppies mind.

EDIT: One last request. If ricer wannabe faggots can haz Halogens aimed high at my rear-view mirror, I want REAR-FUCKING-FACING-HALOGENS AIMED AT THEIR GODDAMN FACE. LETS SEE WHO GETS KNOCKED OFF THE ROAD FIRST!!!!
