New plates
they've been doing stickers for as long as I can remember.
all you need to do is, just go at them with a razor a few times.
thankfully so far, having no front plate hasn't been an issue
( cited once in 37yrs ).

new plates
this is an reference to a chevy promotion. they used to sell new cars
( 1960's I believe ), with this as a front plate.
I wanted to get this one, but it is always taken.
this was the closest I could get.
maybe it's too old a reference, but any old school chevy guys wanna chime in?

I have a 1956 Nomad with tag "GO MAD". I bought my 2012 GS 3 weeks ago today. I ordered "GONE MAD" for the Vette.

Cops have the capability to see if a plate is valid or not. It's pretty much automated in my neck of the woods. Cops have it running all the time as they are out and about. It reads plates and flags wanted or out of date ones.
In MD, we still have stickers (which crumble into a thousand pieces when removing), which seems antiquated given that they only run plates. We could do away with stickers entirely, but I guess this still allows someone to earn a living with some job.
Oh, and it makes me take the rear plate off to replace the sticker, and wash and wax under the plate.

I got the plate right away but you're not allowed to say that nowadays. It's not cool to put our own country first, period, ask ANTIFA. Personally I wish Chevy would still use these plates but I guess they would kill their sales if they did.

that'll work too!
I don't mind that not everyone "gets it". it make's it a bit more exclusive. one of the perks of having been around a while I guess.
