    Agreed, I have had one for some months now and it works like a charm.

    I use # 14 electrical wiring. It sort of fits the personality of the car.

    Sheesh Johnny, be a leader.....not a follower!

    Don't let the 'Man' dictate what you should or shouldn't do. So, 1984 is long gone and Orwell was correct, but this is 26 years later. It's now time for the common man to fight the system!

    Stand strong my friend and we will back you. Don't let the 'System' push you around.

    I like to pick my battles and this just isn't one that I want to spend a lot of time and effort on. IMHO, the cost of the plate clip is well worth the peace of mind.

    Yep, many cities/towns are seeking $$$ to make up for lost taxes so things that weren't ticketed before are now getting ticketed.

    After years of driving around sw wi and nw il without front tags, officer friendly in elizabeth il has a cute little speed trap setup just outside of town yesterday, doesnt get me (thank you valentine) and then proceeds to pull out behind me and follow me all the way through their equally cute little town. THEN pulls me over for no front tags. Informed me that his friend has a Mustang and HE took the time to drill holes in the front and mount tags, I can too!

    I just smiled and took the beating, then went on my way. We were planning on eating and stopping to shop at some of the businesses there, we didnt.

    Legislation ? Im not holding my breath.
