Front Plate ticket...

When we bought our two 1999 9-3's we put the "SAAB 9-3" rectangular sign (black w/white letters) on the front bumper in place of the license plate and have had no trouble with the police despite a law here in California stating that a front plate is required.
Well, my sister barrowed one of our 9-3's Monday as her 1996 BMW 325 wouldn't start (bad alternator killed battery). On the way to her house she was pulled over for speeding, 60mph in a 45mph zone, and told the officer she wasn't used to the Saab's turbo and misjudged it's power:) He smiled and said he would only write her a fix-it ticket for not having a front license plate. This is a $10.00 ticket that doesn't go to the DMV records as opposed to $250.00, DMV fees and traffic school... for her.
So, while I was disappointed that I have to take off the "SAAB 9-3" sign and replace it with the plate, it was a good diversion to get out of a speeding ticket.
I'm leaving the sign on my other 9-3 as long as I can:)
