Front license plate

[St. Louis Boxster]

QPorscheQ I just got my first "porsche profiling" speeding ticket in Ferguson, MO. I was going 78 in a 65 zone along with 30 other cars. I can nailed out of the middle of the pack. However, no front plate on my Box and the cop didn't say a word. I also got a big Yukon Denali and have cruised that part of I-270 a thousand times going 75 to 80 and ever got even a glance from a cop.

In NY City traffic force is an army of revenue enhancement for the city. They dont need many new reasons to ticket you. From parking too far from the curb, no license plate, if the license plate logo is covered. These are some of the more inventive ways that these leeches collect our moneys for the city coffers. Think of it like a daily tax contribution.

$100 for no plate is better than $300 in insurance hikes for a lazer administered speeding ticket made possible by the presence of your front license plate.

let me get this straight...you want me to help you make my Boxster easier to spot with your lazer gun?
Forget it....this Boxster will never know a front license plate.

p.s. anyone use that laser veil paint on the headlights?

Sucks, But I know what you mean. I saw a cop once blow by me go around 6 cars and pull over a 350Z who was going just as fast as everyone else. I had slowed down because my radar detector had gone off, no one else did. It was pretty blatant if you ask me. It was right around were you said you got pulled. I felt bad for the guy, as soon as I saw the cop’s lights go on I thought, “oh man, that 350 guy is screwed” Had I not slowed down, I’m sure it would have been me, and some guy on a www.350zforum.com would have been telling a story about how some guy in a Boxster got pulled over.

I've had conversations with people along the lines of "you have a radar detector, is that so you can break the law . . . yada . . .yada . . . preach . . preach" I’m sure most of you guys have too. This is precisely the reason, I don’t drive 130mph every day, I drive like a normal person, about 10-15 over on the highway. At least I feel with the detector I have some protection from overzealous cops who always pull the nicest car in the bunch over. However, when I got that No Front Plate ticket, my detector had been going off for at least a minute, and well I still got pulled over. I guess sometimes you just can’t win.
