Default Tint and front plate

Im not sure how this was newsworthy but, today on long island

https://www.newsday.com/long-island/...top-1.18420320

They stop a train of 18 Ferraris and only one moving violation?? How is this News? Same would've happened if it was vettes

Again NY i don't need to give them a reason to pull me Ill wear the front plate- and keep the tint legal which is 70% transmission btw in NY- Not worth tinting and now checked annually at mandatory vehicle inspection

Goes to show you, when the cops have nothing else to do (like bust drug offenders and other crimes that are so around us all the time) they try and justify their necessity.

It's the law here in NJ as well so no big deal to me to run a front plate. It's not ruining the look of the car one bit IMO.

If you check my avatar I don’t have a front plate as I’m still wearing my jersey temp plate on the rear!

its really about driving with NO front plate and also illegal tint- I suspect most metro NY vette drivers are in a similar position and if we had a caravan it would be subject to the same scrutiny- and probably make the papers
