You women. Just like naming boys, you have no idea.

Not just any hole is good to pee into. There are certain targets that are just asking for it, in a primordial sort of way.

It has to be a nice target - not too small, not too big
It has to suggest the pee will drain, in some way
If you're not sure where the pee is draining, but you know it is draining somehow, that's a bonus

As a man, you are inevitably gonna pee outdoors, if you are not a pussy. But as a man, you don't just whiz on the open ground, or on a shrubbery or such. It should be more interesting than that. And if it's offensive, it can't be, like, ridiculously offensive. Even a bit of spatter on a good car, that's offensive. You shouldn't treat a car like that, unless it is a known junker with all worthwhile parts removed.

Why didn't the dealer mount your plates? :confused:

Shawnee123 09-03-2009 11:00 AM

The dealer gave me temp tags. I get the plates. Isn't that how it works there?

Shawnee123 09-03-2009 11:02 AM

I'm not transferring them from the old car, I want new plates, if that makes a difference.

xoxoxoBruce 09-03-2009 11:05 AM

OK, so they give you some sort of temp tags, then you get new plates in the mail, or something? Take it back to the dealer and have him put them on. They gots the stuff. ;)

What Bruce said. When I was younger I took the car to the dealer just to take off the old plates and put on the new ones, because I was busy and didn't have the right size wrench handy. Just drive up and bat your eyes and they'll happily do it.

classicman 09-03-2009 10:07 PM

Ahhhh, use my powers for good rather than evil. I like!

But, I am scared...

Yes, they'll drill holes, but they have these special nylon plugs that snap in the holes and will accept the screws to hold the plate on.

You don't have much choice unless you move to another state, risk repeated tickets for no front plate, or spend a lot of money for an expensive/complicated alternate system...








or duct tape.;)

Shawnee123 09-04-2009 10:53 AM

Actually, why wouldn't a good double sided tape work? I could use goo-b-gone if I ever need to remove it. Think it would withstand the elements? Probably not. Crap.

xoxoxoBruce 09-04-2009 10:56 AM

Unless you move out of state, you're going to have a front plate as long as you have the car, so what difference does it make?

glatt 09-04-2009 11:00 AM

It's just plastic. It's not like the holes will rust. And you can't see them because they are behind the plate.

We drilled a vanity plate into the front bumper of my dau car (now wrecked). Often if you look really close you can see little indents in the plastic where they are designed to have the plate screwed on with self tapping screws, no need to actually get a drill out. Just screw them in.

Maybe I'm thinking of moving out of state? ;)

Hmmm...thanks! Never looked that close.

I'll check at the dealership tonight after work.

Thanks for all the help! :)
