I was wondering if the police activity has calmed down over the past few months. I really want to head down to captree this month but fear I will get a front liscence plate ticket.

This was the first weekend at Captree, they were parked in the front when I was leaving, I installed my removable front plate mount and left. Most have installed the mount I sell. I generlay have them with me and you save $10 and shipping costs

Had to put my front plate on as well. Now I have a factory GM bra that won't fit because it does not have the plate cut out.

We should all sign a petition to raze the local town near Captree and use the excuse that it's for "enviromental reasons" to return precious wildlife habitats to the area. The geese and swans aren't going to complain if we buzz by on ocean parkway early in the morning. Just don't hit one, those suckers are big!!! Not to mention that they'll start placing calls to 911 for vehicular fowlicide.

Now thats funny!!!!!!!

Basically if your car is in order, and your not driving like a putz. Then CAPTREE is the place to hang out on a Sunday morning. If your car is Unregistered, has No Front Plate, and your using Ocean Parkway as your own Drag Strip, then prepare to pay the piper!!!! Otherwise, come on down and have a good time. And dont forget to try the donuts at Captree. They must be good, since all the COPS are there with us!!!!!

I usually try to tailgate the cop in front of me to hide the no front plate....or I just take yet another no front plate ticket......i've honestly lost count since march of 03, to me its just one of the costs of owning a vette, and like FJB says, every now and then you have to pay the piper...
