Front plate in Colorado?
So since moving to Fort Collins, I've been wondering: Are cops here hard-nosed about having a front license plate? Both the '7 and the Miata just look so much better without, but it's not worth being pulled over/cited all the time...

kinda depends.
i know everytime i go to denver downtown i get pulled over for it. but all the surrounding areas seem to not care. |
So Denver PD keeps pulling you over but they don't cite you? My new (to me) Miata looks so much better without a front plate...

but what i do is just throw the plate in my front window. a lot of people i know do that. |
I got pulled over several times in my turbo II for not having my front license plate mounted in fort collins but never got a ticket. Eventually they moved onto exhaust and eventually gave me a ticket.

(Crossing fingers) They haven't got me yet. Maybe it's because the Miata looks cute and harmless? I did get into a little stoplight drag with a Larimer County Sheriff in a Charger. I stayed with him to about 40, then he got me.

Ive been told they can be ass's about the front tag. i dont have to worry about i though, i currently live down south east of denver by about 2 hours in the middle of nowhere. The guy i bought the car from said hes always had problems up there.

I've never had anything but very positive interactions with local law enforcement. Fort Collins PD in particular have been surprisingly cool. I have seen some...overeager...enforcement down in Denver. Still, I don't care how shitty they can get here. It's never ANYTHING like California was...

I've been pulled over 3 times in Boulder for no front plate, but I haven't gotten a ticket. I just use the excuse that "there's nowhere to mount the plate and I'm not going to run sheet metal screws into the bumper of a classic car." Of course, the factory bracket is sitting in my garage. ;)
