Not I. But I do keep it under the front passenger floor mat. If I get pulled over for it (they are required here in CO) I'm gonna try to pass it off as the car came with no provision for a front plate, and that "Mazda is working on it."

Is this a trick question? Are those plates supposed to be like the winning lottery ticket? Scratching head

got my plates yesterday, after 6 months... had to go to the dmv.. turned out they sent it to the wrong address (typo).

nonetheless, they gave me a brand new set of plates right there, along with registration card and sticker.. love the DMV... NOT (took 4 hours for them to call my number, which I missed because I left right afterwards and came back to check.. it turned out alright, cuz if you go just before closing, they work HELLA fast. got a new number and was done in like 15 minutes... )

That could also stand for Zsa Zsa (Gabore) in which case it could be a bad omen because she's been married something like 9 times :p Her sister Eva was Lisa on Green Acres. Ahh the good ole days when we had clean humor on TV and no Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunctions to worry about.

I'm going to mount my front plate on the frame and stick it in my back seat and if (when) I get pulled over, I'll tell him the lousy dealership I bought it from didn't put it on right. (Can you tell that I don't like my dealership??? )
