That reminds me of the time I bought a used Honda Prelude. It was an '85 about 15 yrs. ago,and as I test drove it I noticed the front plate was missing. Upon asking the owner, he said that he didn't like the way it looked with it on, so he had the plate in the trunk with the bracket. He got stopped several times over the years but told the cops that he was going to mount it but hadn't done it yet. They let him go everytime, not even a warning. I don't have that kind of luck, so as soon as I got the car, I put my plate on the front.
