PA has no front licence plate, bu then you have to deal with the holes left from the other guys. One of these days I will have the nose resprayed and get rid of the plate forever.

Jay, when it goes from a "want" to a "need" you will revisit that decision.

If it doesn't make my car go faster, stop faster or handle better, I have another way to spend my $$$

I almost mis-read that and thought it said butt plugs are the best solution, glad I was wrong

Ahh, but doesn't the front plate balance the back plate to keep the 50/50 weight distribution (he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek). As for the retractable plate, similar to Mr. Bond's DB5 that sported a revolving plate with several different plates available for display.

I got ticketed in Beverly Hills for no front plate, probably since I was a visitor, not a resident. If you are a visitor you have to have a piece of paper in your front window that identifies yourself as such if you park on a residential street overnight. I also noticed that there were a lot of resident owned Corvettes that lacked front plates. I don't think that there has been a Corvette built in the past 20 years that has a place for a front plate. I decided to pay the fine and let it be at that. Fast forward two weeks and I get tagged again, so this time I went to court. I pointed out to the judge that there were a great many Corvettes owned (as shown on their resident bumper stickers) by Beverly Hills residents that lacked front plates, and presented pictures to back up my claim. I then asked whether it was the policy of the City of Beverly Hills to discriminate, against non-residents, or against Porsche's when it came to front plate enforcement. The judge admitted he hadn't noticed that Corvettes don't have front plates.
My case was dismissed.
