Oh Maryland... one of the many reasons I left there after college; car modifications (window tint, exhaust, etc.), emissions regulations, gun laws, and now I hear they have a rain tax?

They are no joke about front plates though; two weeks before I was leaving for FL I bought an 03 Cobra from VA with no holes drilled in the front bumper, so I left the plate off, figuring I'd be gone in two weeks. Nope, got a citation from MSP within a week of getting the car for no front plate, and jacked up my insurance rates...

Happy to live in FL now - no emissions, laxed tint laws (or at least enforcement), drove around with an open exhaust/caged Miata race car without a second look by cops, and high speed limits.

Interesting that a plate ticket jacked up your rates, as that is not a moving violation. I have had my brz front plateless for a month and no problems yet.
