Chevrolet's front plate solutions have been downright UGLY!

'Diode' had the best Long Island solution and I've adapted here in
California -- we are required to have a front plate so that the downward
looking "red-light cameras" can capture the license number.  Fully, 80%
of SoCal Corvettes are devoid of front plates.

Gov. Arnold has not opted to "clean up" this Corvette mess.  We have
however added a second camera at red lights to capture the rear plate
while the regular camera snags the driver's face.

Diode suggested forgetting about the front place altogether (I carry
mine under the cargo deck carpet in the C4 and under the front carpet in
the C5 -- just in case I have to knuckle under to John Law.)  Next, dig
out your expired "proof of insurance" form and put it in the car
portfolio in the map case.  Keep the current "proof of insurance" form
in a safe place.

When you are stopped, show registration and proof of insurance -- when
it's noted that you insurance has expired, accept the ticket for that
"stupid oversight."  "Oh my gosh officer .... etc."  Go to court, show
the current insurance slip...etc.

If this pushes your sense of moral rectitude too much then take the
plate down to a Kinkos, have a color copy made of it, tape it to some
cardboard and display it on top of the dash -- smile for the birdie when
the camera snaps.

No way am I gonna place a front license plate on my C6. Too Ugly. Will
pay fine if ever pulled over for it.
