I think "THE" only Reason why they Make us Have a Licence Plate In the Front is So you can Take the Number Down..Just Before you get Ran over By the Car!!!..(haha..probably why there is not alot of People gettin Nabbed for bump and runs in Quebec!!..You See Da Licence? ..Mai Non!..Sacre Bleu!..aha!)..Ya..No Plate in Front..it wrecks the airflow to the Front Mount intercooler!

But I can honestly say that my rx-7 runs hotter with that small plate blocking a small portion of the air flow into the rad. I noticed this on a few occations, just before I put the plate on and was driving it without one before, it was harder to keep the engine cool.

i just got a ticket.
i also tapped a woman's rear bumper last year at about 4kph and there was NO damage except for a cross from the screw's head (and you really had to go hunting to see it!). in the end she still wanted it fixed so i had to pay for it. 250$ for damage that would NOT have been there if my front plate wasnt
110$ for the plate fine earlier this week. to hell with front plates

not to mention that auto companies spend BILLIONS of dollars on aerodynamics to make cars more fuel efficient and less noisy, and you go and stick a vertical plate on the front bumper.

I'm beginning to think ontario is the new orleans of Canada. Great place to live...but run by people with a collective IQ well below that of the average spider monkey.
