BTW popo, any unusual stories to tell? Like seeing a topless gal driving etc?

Honestly, I love the 1996 GrandSport. It has been my dream car so "Admiral Blue" would have to be my favorite Vette color. Followed by Black.

I do have some stories, I will share soon....

Many of my local LEOs agree, 20 states already have 1 plate and many studies prove no loss to safety with 1 vs. 2 plates. I do understand in some circumstances that the front plate can help identify a vehicle……………..my question is HOW can get the VA state police(Virginia State Police) to agree………….the good Colonel W. Steven Flaherty refuses to give me a good reason as he shoots in down every year which means bills never makes it out of committee!
FYI, here is what I have sent once again to him:
Dear Colonel W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police Superintendent.

I would like your view on why we should or should not go to one rear license plate only in Virginia .
I am trying to raise revenue for VA in a common sense way and this seems to me and many others a win win situation.
In the 20 or more states that have abolished the front license plate requirement, there is no credible evidence of a decline in public safety as a result of the plate removal.
I have talked with my local Police Chiefs and Sheriffs and they have no issue with going to one rear license plate.
As my local LEO’s reminded me……….they chase, surveil and pull cars over from behind.
I look forward to your reply and a chance to discuss this with you.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,

TIA for your thoughts
Steve
Honestly, with PA being a ONE PLATE STATE, I see NO reason for the need to put a plate on the front of the vehicle. Some may say it assists with Identification with vehicles traveling towards you, however, only on roads where the speeds would allow you to read something heading towards you. As for night time identification, it is nearly impossible, being that unlike the rear there is NO illumination for a front plate. And as for highways and highway speeds, there is no way I can read a plate coming towards me at 60+mph....

As for trying to convince your state to go to the ONE PLATE system, I do not have the faintest idea of how to begin that process. however when it comes to things like that, it is nearly impossible to get them to change.

I wish you luck in your quest, because I agree with you, and a plate on the front of a car, really F's up the look...

I heard there was another LEO on the site, its a pleasure to meet you. I give as good as I take (ball busting) and I have a pretty thick skin, so its ALL GOOD. And as for donut jokes.... All I can say is if you bring em... make sure they have sprinkels on em....

Funny story.... i was working one midnight shift, and I stoped by DD. I asked for a sprinkled donut, and was told by the hindu man behind the counter... "NO, SPRINKLES FOR KIDS, YOU TAKE PLAIN." I informed him that i did not want plain and I was ordering a SPRINKLED donut. He refuesed to sell me one, and I left. I told him "KARMAs A BITCH" as I walked out the door. Two weeks I responded to a crash in my township. He was involved. He had crashed his motorcylce into a car, and lost his arm due to the crash..... Makes you wonder how things wouldve changed if he didnt give me a hard time....

Im pretty sure I still have my Man Card. I drive a lifted SUV, just sold a Drag bike, own a vette and a Boosted 96 camaro. Im 35, and I am not married. I have no kids, and I still do as I please....

And when I come home, I come home to this:



Lol, did I pass?

We knew you'd call for backup Bobby, so we stopped by Krispy Kreme and picked up an extra dozen that we can launch at you guys. Once you guys finish those donuts, we will have burned rubber into the next jurisdiction.
Does Krispy Kreme have Sprinkles?

I don't recall either of the "mail order" patrons', ah, merchandise, looking like that. I wouldn't have condone all of the grief you gave 'em if they had.

And Popo, I didn't lose my mancard- I merely misplaced it for a brief time. Looked up and the Harley, the 'vette, and all my other toys were gone except my '46 truck. Happened quick- one day I was single, good looking and debt free, next thing I know I'm married with a kid, broke and I'm bald and fat..
