 |
|
Today's logo looks exactly like my old 79. Anyone know if it is in this area? Better yet, anyone know of a silver '79 around Portland with refinished 8-spoke wheels and pristine interior?
TIA

Bah, no front plate, that answers my first question. Still curious about whatever became of my old car, though. . .

Lots of people run with no front plate, feeling the look is worth the occasional ticket (myself NOT included).

$54.33 for no front license plate... 
I have one on now, but thats only because the bolts to get the bracket off were stripped/rusty.

The one nice thing about Georgia: No front license plates required.

Possibly one of the not nice things about Georgia...the occasional encounter with a rhino-sized wild hog?

Yeah the front plate issue bothers some people to excess. In the mid '80's I worked with a girl who was somewhat obsessed with it and talked about moving to Pennsylvania just so she wouldn't have a front plate ruining the look of her 924 copy (a Mazda RX-7). Her dream next car at the time was the Porsche 944.

YES. YES THAT WOULD BE BAD.
Holy moly.
The license plate issue really doesn't bug me though, just a preference thing. With some cars though, it's a big deal, because where on the 924 a front plate doesn't look too bad, a front plate can be ruinous to the front fascia.
Ever see an RX-8 with a front plate? Looks like it has buck teeth.

thanks - I've got to admit to being a little lucky with 924's. I've only put $1,000 into this one when I got it 3 years ago - she runs beautifully. Other than a few cosmetic things (interior) to touch up, I've only got the Bilsteins and new tires planned for it this spring.
Can't wait to get it on the road again - the weekly drives around the neighborhood (dry conditions only - no salt, etc) to keep her fresh throughout the winter are a little boring.
