Comment on NY woman who used to own "NCC-1701" license plate ticketed thousands of dollars because of cars with Star Trek novelty plates going through traffic cameras.

  Yeah I bought a new car last year and it doesn’t even have a mounting spot. I don’t think it’s a big deal either not having two plates.

  For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross.

    I’d have to drill holes into the front

    So what? That’s how it’s done at the factory too

      Because front plates look like shit and Id rather not have to drill into my car just to make it easier on the cops?

      That’s how it’s done at the factory too.

      Wow no kidding.

    I used two self-tapping sheet metal screws when we moved from a single-plate-on-the-back state to a double-plate state.

    There’s no holder but…. That’s pretty much decorative anyway.

    “lopsided” font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)
