Update: No front plate warning. Plate is on it now.

Sorry but out of all the things you could pull someone over for on the 190… you pull someone over for no front plate. Such a waste of our fucking time and money. Get the guy doing 80 in the 55 or no blinker changing lanes… that is a stupid reason on a highway. Someone felt like being a dick this morning. lol

Don’t pull over anyone on the 190, there is no shoulder. With the new moveover law it’s an incredible pain in the ass. I saw a car lock 'em up on the 190 N to try and get over with a cop pulling someone over, under the peace bridge. The 190 regulates itself.

My question is… why?

The last I heard those things are 0-60 in Buffalo to Syracuse.

I wonder how much power that one puts down though.

Or is this not the right law? Am I missing something?

I believe it’s a similar motor to the yaris but a different ECU. I know the yaris ecu is hard to crack, but there is a dude in Cali running megasquirt on his yaris making 340whp on pump gas, and I think it’s his daily. Oh it’s a 1.5 liter engine too.

Come on, really? Gotta man up! 😃

I got pulled over by a trooper a couple fridays ago on my way home from work for doing 57 in a 45 and no front plate. They let me go with just a warning about the speed, didn’t even mention that I had to put the front plate back on. Watch, as soon as I get my car put back together I get a no front plate ticket.
