im mad at you for selling your e30

[Danny]

I haven't sold it yet. I'm pretty sure nobody will come close to my asking price.

[Cabriolet]

i dont think you are that far off on price. it does piss me off when selling show year+ old pics of the car, how it doesnt look currently. -.- but, 13k and it would be gone in a week. also fix your first pic it doesnt work.

[JinormusJ]

that moment when you finish you project... to remember that you didnt dynamate the fire wall :hitler:

Dat ABS light




BTW. NorCal is full of smarties.. Anyone know an answer to this?

Okay guys

So we might be dipping into grey areas here, but maybe people who have been around the block in this situation might know something about it

So I know a guy. This guy has a Euro License Plate Printer. Don't ask me how I know him or how he got the machine because: I've known him for a while and I don't know how he acquired it.

Anyway,

Say for example.. I decide I want a "Euro-Style" license plate (wide) vs the US style license plate (ugly).. Can I legally run a license plate that has the same numbers as my state-issued license plates, including the same "(insert-state-name-here) banner" and the month/year registration tags?


Anyone even heard of such a thing?

[decay]

don't know the answer for sure but i'd still put money down that that's not legal, even with stickers.

[JinormusJ]

America sucks

EDIT:
Did some more research. CVC code states that in CA, an authentic CA-Issued license plate must be displayed on both front and rear of the vehicle. Lack of a front plate is considered a minor offense and is punishable my a maximum infraction of a correctable-offense ticket; running a euro plate or anything that is non-state-issued is deemed as a lack of displaying a front plate and faces identical punishment.

The rear on the other hand... Lack of a rear plate is punishable as a misdimeanor offense; running a non-state-issued plate is considered forgery of a legal document and is punishable as a state felony offense.

Yikes.
Glad I asked first.

[decay]

woulda won that bet.

cops watch plates like hawks, too.

at my last reserve unit, my section leader was a sac county sheriff. he'd pick me up on the way south to fort ord, and he'd pick out expired tags on our way there and back, like it was something he couldn't help doing.

[JinormusJ]

Eh

It's no big deal. I'll have my buddy print me a fake CA-Euro plate that I can have as a novelty piece for meets and general e30 related stuff. Kinda wish we could run them as legal License Plates, but whatevs
