    Default Inspection Question

    My better half has given me the 'sponsibility of getting the Yellow Miata inspected today, it doesn't have a front plate on it (It's in the trunk).

    Is no front plate going to be an issue when I take it to slappy's house of inspections??

    I have never had an issue with it. My friend even told me the other night that the front plate law had been changed and that one was not needed anymore. I am not sure of the validity of that but I still don't think you will have an issue.

    Sweet!

    So other than the fact we have ignored the emissions recall we got from Mazda it should be good to go!

    I'm not sure it's been passed yet, but apparently the state bean-counters are recommending that we drop the front plates! YESSSS!!

    I saw a petition online that you can sign (for what it's worth) to push this movement.

    Can't hurt, right?

    Besides, those of us with weight abatement on our minds don't want no stinkin' front plates.
