Thankfully we don't have front plates here in Fla. I'm glad because the plate bracket was an ungodly thing.

When/if I move after college, a front plate would be one thing I would take into consideration when picking what state to live in

Signed. I have never had a front license plate and I have been driving for 22 years. 1 warning as a teenager. Never been cited or had it mentioned by an officer.

Not only does he have to pay to have the emissions checked, but to fix it. So if he cant pay he has to park his car not able to work or risk getting a damn ticket at every corner. Yes, I lived in Baltimore County and Ann Arundel/Glen Burnie. I understand the pollution theory, however, it's not in the best interests of people, but wallets.

And buck dropper, yes it would be big deal for me, as I have a hitch adapter on the front of my truck for a winch and trailer control in tight spaces. An adapter for the hitch cost between 50 and 100 bucks. Not something I would prefer to pay when they can identify my damn truck by the back plate. It's even lit up at night for them .
Dude relax i was just yanking your chains, I could do without the front plate also because when i go into the woods i usally have to go back in to find the front plate that was torn off in the mud... You southern folks need to chill a bit more... breath deep.... the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room...
