Welcome to Tennessee (it shouldn't matter, but it does: clean-cut taxpaying middle-aged white guy, with former background in govt data centers [1] ). If I had any detectible minority status, I would display a plate properly.

More onlookers (from behind) snap photos of this taglessness than any other politics/offensive bumper sticker I've had [2] — my only thought is that my vehicle misleads them to think that perhaps I'm undercover I.C.E. (purposefully obscurring)..?

[1] I've woken up blackout in a comped hotel when friends in identical situation got arrested/PI; I still carry a long-expired govt work badge in my moneyclip

[2] 2nd-most popular, all-time, was "Patron Saint of Denials Luigi Mangione" image

In New Jersey your parked car could be towed for not having a plate.

In Tennessee we don't even issue front plates. Most vehicle registrations are <$30.00 (imagine!).

Twenty years ago my then-fiance and I were entering NYC via tollbooth, and the attendant harrassed us about "where is your front license plate?!"


That's odd, because Pennsylvania doesn't have front plates either, and it is pretty close to NYC.

PA's blue/yellow standard plate is soooo ugly they don't need to issue more than one.
