B. Your car isn't a show car. If it is, take off the plate when it's at a show. Otherwise, your car is just a car and the plate is required anyway, so just run it. It's not like running a front plate suddenly halves the value of the car.
Word to that. Have you guys seen that vid where the PT cruiser goes in to an intersection and gets t-boned from the passenger side by a Forester, which sends both cars careening in to some poor dude crossing the street (he was in the crosswalk). I read that both drivers were found at fault as one of the vehicles (I think the Forester) had sped up for a yellow and entered the intersection right as it turned red, and the PT Cruiser had not slowed down for his red light as he knew it was turning green in a second. I hate seeing people run lights and stopsigns - it saves maybe a couple minutes IF you don't have an accident, which could ruin or end your life.

.My wife and I nearly got killed in 2002 over by Wal-Mart off Truxel. We were on Truxel going over the freeway away from Wallyworld and stopped at a red light. The light turned green so we started to go, I looked left and saw some stupid ******* in an 18 wheeler approaching way too fast to stop. He blew the light and nearly t-boned us off the god damned overpass. We brake checked him, which pissed off some old codger who apparently missed the part where the guy nearly killed us. My wife was driving and the guy got in front of her, slammed on the brakes and got out, charging to her door. I got out, blocked him and told him to get back in the car when Sac P.D pulled up behind us and busted the guy. He said he saw the guy block us in and charge out of his truck. He let us go and was having a nice little talk with him as we pulled away.

p.s.: taking off the front plate doesn't help when you have 64 sq. acres of chrome on the front of your Titan. Thanks Nissan for that wonderful design.
