driven my z for ~2.45 yrs. without a single ticket for anything. although i have gotten pulled over four times (not for the front plate, 1- speeding 60 in a 30, 1- too loud (my mufflers rusted through so i had pulled everything out), 1- headlight, 1- no front plate(he gave me a ticket for a seatbelt, but my mom called the police chief and got it removed (long story)). hehehehehehehehe. pretty much it amounts to how pissy the cop is feeling that day. it could be different in NY, but that is how it is in OH.
