e-brake on hill. Plain and simple.

As for plate frame, I'd personally go with just a thin frame w/o anything on it.

The license plates came in a little early today. I decided to go with frame-less plates on front and back. Looks good. The front has an extra plastic front with the same plastic design and color, so the front bumper doesn't have any drill holes.

Just a standard California license plate. I'm still deciding whether to get a custom or not.

You should have obtained a plate from another state, California is the worst.

No need for parking brake on hill once you master the brake, feathering of the throttle and clutch engagement point/slip. I used to roll back a bit in the beginning when I was first learning to drive a stick (20 y/o). Fifteen years later, I barely roll back if at all. ☺️

LEAVE AMPLE ROOM


Would anybody find this funny? I am thinking this is practical because certain people leave no room for error when parking on a hill. Might give me some leeway half the time.

Also thinking of a certain Gandalf quote.

my front plate is a euro plate that spells "move over" but its backwards so when im behind you in your mirror it reads move over correctly and my rear license plate frame says " i swear to god its stock" lol
