"Do you know why I stopped you"
"Actually, no"
"Well, you don't have a front plate"
"Oh, it's right here. Sorry I forgot to put it up"
... "Well, it needs to be mounted on the front of the car, have you been pulled over for this before?"
"No"
"Well Maryland state law says you have to have a front plate"
"Well, there aren't any holes drilled for it. I'll look into a mounting bracket"
At this point I try to hand him my registration and license and he waves me off
"No, I'm not going to run your stuff. It's a beautiful car"
Cop grins and says
"So is that a legal exhaust you have on that thing"
"Yes, as far as I know"
"rev the engine for me please"
(I oblige)
Cop grins, gives a thumbs up to his buddy who swung in behind him a thumbs up and leaves without a word.
