That would be something I'd actually love to argue against in court from a mechanical and materials engineering standpoint.

The officer Said if I put the plate on and show up the ticket will be dismissed.

I had the towhook mount, but the lack of symmetry bugged me. Thankfully I kept my stock bracket and placed it on my grill.

Do you guys use that thread lock stuff at all?

Wouldn't recommend any more aggressive than locktite blue for anything you think you might feasibly want to get apart again.

Did she measure it with a meter or just used her super vision?

she probably couldn't read the parking slip too well through the tint and pissed off her vagina.

I swear I used to love Portland, but ever since I got my car, I seem to dislike living here more often than not

Now I think back, I think it said "tint - Warning" or something, but she did tag me for the over time on the parking + no front plate. I got tagged twice with the no plate, had to park outside in DT over night to do the nasty.

If you live in washington, I know the ones that can swing outward are illegal. That being said, its best to sacrifice looks and not be worried everytime you see a cop, even though most kight not care
