Sad Day
I added the front license plate to my car. (No I wont post a picture). I'm trying to get over it, but good lord does it look ugly...
At least I have one less reason to get pulled over...

Most local LEO's are cool about it, but DPS and constables seem to hunt for anything they can. I don't blame them, they're just doing their job, but still... Honestly, if it was just a fix it ticket, or a small fine I may even deal with it.

If having to put a front plate on your car or not is the deciding factor as to where to live, you really don't have much going on in your life.

It's all good. I turned it into a good day, by taking my son out to a parking lot and teaching him to drive standard. After about 20 mins in a parking lot he was finally able to take off fairly well. (no hills were involved)
Kind of a rite of passage...

I live in Kentucky. Here we don't have to run a front plate. I travel into Virginia on a regular basis due to work. While in a restaurant one evening talking with a Virginia DOT cop he informed me that in the near future all states will require the front plate because of the traffic cameras and such. I'm not sure how much truth is in that but he sure seemed sure of it.
i hope not.

It will be okay..I have had mine on my 2014 Corvette for three years now and use to have a front license plate on my 82 Corvette for decades ...when I got antique plates for my 82 Corvette , only one plate is required for my older Corvette so it only has one license plate now!

Anytime elected people huddle up on car issues, we know it won't be to make things better. Stupidity low speed limits and acceptance of terrible drivers seem to be their main accomplishments to date. Next election, I'll need to know what type of vehicle they drive before I voted for them. Vote with my foot so to speak.

In this day of spending carefully, someone in political office will have to explain why some states are running successful DOT and police activities while requiring only one plate while others seem to be incompetent even while requiring two.
The camera argument doesn't work for me because a) here in NC the camera system is used to monitor red light violations and all tolls on toll roads (Quick Pass System) b) are the states with two plates going to need two cameras to make their systems work? If it works here, why doesn't it work elsewhere?

Strake:NO front plate in PA, and BETTER YET....... NO tax on retirement income in PA....... yea, yea, I know..... FL has no state income tax on anyone. I get it..... I lived there 18 years.

And yes I do miss the hills and twisty roads, especially the ones with no shoulder and a ditch 8 feet deep beside it at night while it's freezing rain, sleet or snow. 
But having traveled all over our country PA is one of the most beautiful. And all my kids live there.
