Wow, the CHP must be a profit center. A lot of people here run without the front plate. the penalty is peanuts compared to the prices we pay to own and run a Porsche. Think RMS. Tires. Brakes, etc.
The police here won't bother with little stuff like that unless someone is driving recklessly. CHP's may be different. Heck, CA is like another world.

92mph is not automatically reckless in my book, depending on the circumstances. Like ESLAI points out, some days you find yourself with Camry's, F-150'S and Caravans at 85mph. I'd bet I'm safer next to Eslai at 92mph than I am next to Joe Citizen driving a Volvo and on his cell phone at 65mph.
