13IS250C Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I can't remember the last time I put a sticker on my car. I'm just so proud of my Grizzlies!!! I'll take it off when the season is over. Hopefully, it is after we win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My Lexus is sticker-free. But my Honda Civic has 2 small stickers on rear door small windows (one is a tennis racquet decal, other is CUKUI decal)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I hate to tell you what the last sticker was that I put on a car because you are going to see me in my former redneck life. When I first got my Z28 I put a "Fear This" decal on the windshield. Lawdy!!!!!! REDNECK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEX-SV Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Besides the 2 small stickers I mentioned on rear door vent windows, this car came pre-stickered from the factory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have a state inspection sticker and that's it. Not quite sure what a Grizzly is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Memphis Grizzlies. Our NBA team. We are hot this year. Hubby and I have been season ticket holders for 9 years and we have supported them through some pretty lean times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Agh. I can blame not knowing on skiing. Never watched basketball so I remain ignorant of team names. Go Grizzlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Should it has been the Memphis Beats or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 We bought the team from Vancouver Canada. They were already the Grizzlies. I hated basketball and someone that David works with gave him a pair of tickets. I fell in love at first game. So fast and exciting and physical. We have some awesome players, but since we are a small market team we don't get any recognition. Marc Gasol made it to the All Star game this year. First time a Grizzlie has ever been a starter. We are really good. When we go to the playoffs you should watch a game. You will probably hear me. I am quite vocal to say the least.

VBdenny Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Okay with me, love sports in general but like anything, it is knowing the players that makes it special. Sports fans of any sport are always more fun than the drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13IS250C Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I hated when I lived in VA and Denny can tell me if this is still true. You had 2 stickers, inspection and city that had to be in the center of your windshield at the bottom which is no an easy reach on a Camaro. Also, we had a front license plate and I worked on a military base so I had to have a sticker for that too. I always felt like the front of my car looked like a billboard. Thankfully, where I live in TN, we have no stickers and only a rear plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 In CA we have are supposed to run front plates, and currently 2 of 3 of my cars have them, so I'm becoming more compliant. For over a decade I ran no front plates with no problems. But lately I've become more accepting of front plates (although front plates on Porsches still bug me...), I don't want to be pulled over just for that which does happen today. In CA we have 2 small stickers on top corners of rear plate (month/year), the only government-mandated stickers required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I would do everything in my power to keep a plate off the front of that car. How much is the fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The CA fine is cheap because it's a "fix-it ticket", just a very small administrative fee which is no prob. But I'm seeing more people get pulled over for front plate violation alone, an inconvenience I'd rather not have. A lot of people don't mind that small risk and still run no front plates today.

13IS250C Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 That would be me. They have to be able to see the front and the rear of the car to know you are from CA. I'll send you one of my old TN plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Virginia still has the state inspection sticker located on the base of the windshield above the right wiper hub. In the past, there was also a City issued sticker that was placed next to the state inspection sticker. Now, the City stickers are gone and only the fee remains. Virginia issues 2 plates both with month and year stickers. Luckily, no front plate is really not an issue here and I have never heard of anyone bothered for not having one. My IS does not as I didn't want holes drilled into my bumper. On the Chevy truck? yeah, I have one. I only don't put them on my Lexus cars. I collect license plates and have several hundred around.

lenore Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hey there is a cost saver, eliminate the front plate and save a tree, whoops greenhouse credit, err sorry just don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yes, "just don't care" is kinda where I'm headed with my front plate opinion. Most of my cars have them these days for following reasons (my newest car has no plates, for 9 months btw): . Don't want the hassle of been pulled over for only that reason (which these days does happen in CA) . Don't want the hassle of getting fixit tickets signed off (even though I have a LEO in family that will sign it off, no questions asked, I'll use that favor in case I get a fixit ticket for illegal tint on 2 front windows) . Many newer cars have flat front section of bumper that looks naked without a plate. . Many newer cars have better integrated front plate holders, some (like Mercedes) are even curved to match contour of bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13IS250C Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I agree Lenore, what a waste of resources. Just put a sticker that says "see back bumper". :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Denny, do you have any really cool plates in your collection? Do you have them nailed to the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
