He would have to get 400 of the said tickets to compensate for that.

Can be either.

25 is worth not having a plate on the front of your car IMO

Exactly.

I've had the car 15 months and put 60,000 miles under the wheels, during which time I've been pulled over 4 times and never once hassled about my lack of front plates.

No big deal.

So does that mean I can send the city of Omaha $25 and remove my front plate and fill the holes and paint? That would be so sweet! That would be that much less wind drag.

In California the issue fix-it tickets. You have a time period to head to the local DMV with the repair they want done. They check to make sure it's done. Depending on who wrote the ticket it's free or $10. I kept waiting to get one for the Z28. Pa doesn't have front plates, so there wasn't anyplace to put it. You have to change the grill and it looks awful.
I went a full year without a ticket. On my move to Florida, I was in west Texas were 20 and 10 split. The speed limit was 75 and I was doing 79. As I crested a hill a Texas trooper was on the side in his Intrepid. As soon as I went past he pulled out. Then bam on come the lights as he gets behind me. He asked me where I was going and I said moving to Fla. He said the speed limit in texas is 75 and they take that limit seriously. I appologized, thinking that I had never been pulled over for less than 5 over.
He came back to the car with a warning for the speed and a nother warning for not having a front plate. He then told me the plate would need to be fixed within 24 hours or I would be cited if I was pulled over again. It gets better!
He then noted the time was 6:20 and dusk started in 5 minutes. The night time speed limit is 55 and he advised me that I should drive 55 when i pulled out. I thanked him, pulled out got up to 54 and set the cruise with him following me. He followed me for 70 miles before I hit Fort Stockton and decided that it was a waste of time to drive like this. I went to bed early and got up early the next day.
That stupid trooper let about 30-40 cars and trucks pass us, some doing well over 80.
Oh well the point is it took a Texas trooper to cite me for not having a front Californa plate.

Fergy, The nightime speed limit in Texas is 65 not 55... I will bet the Trooper was following you laughing his ass off....

In east Texas the speed limit at night was 65, but in west Texas it's 55. Anybody from El Paso????? Did it change this year??? I also noticed the speed limit was 75 in west Texas, but 70 in east Texas.

4 different speed limits, based on time of day and your location in relation to the city? WOW.
