Haven't had a plate for 6 years (5 in RL and 1 in A7) and never had any problems.

A few days ago I saw an awesome white A7 at NE 10th St & 106th Ave in downtown Bellevue. Not sure whether it's your car.

If you heard the exhaust that must have been me. I was around there last Thursday.

Not an optimal place, though better with suction cups than just sitting in there. A paramedic on here told a gruesome story about arriving on the scene of an accident where a front plate left wedged into the lower area of the windsheild took the ear and a good portion of scalp off a passenger when the impact of the crash made it a flying blade.

I think you'll get ticketed even with the plate above the dashboard here. So definitely not worth it having a potential flying blade in the car.

just saw this on youtube...we need one of these for when you park or get pulled over...

"do you know why i pulled you over?"
"no"
"i pulled you over because you didn't have a front plate"
"i'm not sure what you are talking about, officer...i have a front plate...go look"
