I'm sure there's a good reason to cover up your lisense plate when posting photos of your car on this web site. What is it? Just curious.

I've never bothered... I figure I'm more likely to get targeted for theft by someone who sees me on the street or in a parking lot somewhere.

That said... S2K FTW!!

this might make me sound stupid...

but the only reason i ever bothered doing it was because EVERYONE else was doing it. i thought it was some trend... some unspoken rule. i didn't understand why...

until about the end of my senior year in high school. i finally realized why people blotted out their license plates when i found out that it's possible to pass the code on to the DMV and pull up information and whatnot (right? or am i still wrong?). i know... i'm kind of late to the coming of knowledge. =]
