Default How long did you leave your new plate on?

So how long did you dealership or new plate on your car even when you received your license plates?

On my last car, the Infiniti FX35, I didn't put my plates in for two months.

As for my IS350, so far, just a little less than a month. I like that fake-new-car feeling

You can't get caught in those bogus intersection cameras.

They aren't bogus; they are a perfectly reasonable way for the taxocracy to create revenue. The trick is that they vary the yellow light times to catch people who otherwise would be following the letter of the law.

I'm actually very thankful for these and speed cameras because I feel I don't contribute my fair share in taxes. Just consider that there are energy and motivationally challenged people who need the welfare money as well as nationality challenged immigrants who need help but cannot contribute equally themselves. Marx hit the nail on the head.

Don't get me wrong, I don't speed up to run through every yellow light but I think they are bogus. Sometimes you can't stop in time and cameras tickets are ridiculous.
Meh..to each his own opinion I guess.

I believe it's just a fix it ticket (in cali) if you do get pulled over without your license plates on. Is that correct?
5 months and counting...

There is a newer Silverado near my house that has had those paper dealer plates on for at least the last 2 years.

At first that's exactly why my bro didnt put it on his car. After awhile, he doesnt remember where he put it the lic plates. 2 years 6 months later when he sold the car, he found them.
