Haha same here!! I hate a bent plate. It throws off the whole exterior aesthetic balance of the car.
What are you doing right now?

Yes lol. In my state you can get 4 sets of plates a year if you like to change them so anytime ours gets a scratch or worn we get different ones then I keep the old ones for my collection.

Nice!!
I'm never going through a car wash again without removing my front plate.
It's only the second time the front plate got an ugly bend .but.. no, never again in life
And moving to a one-plate State (if those still exist in 4 years) is a possibility In time.
Texas has two but that would be okay because it is Texas. And I'm never going through a wash without taking front plate off again...

LOL. We have two here in Virginia as well and they will write you a ticket if you don’t have it unless the vehicle is over 25 years old and wasn’t equipped with a place for a front tag.
I'm saying. Before I go to a car wash, I'm pulling over, taking front plate off, and going through. Then putting it on after.
If they want to write for that then that is fine.
Remember.. My front plate got bent AND keys locked in running car today. For a $9 car wash.
I bent it back.

LOL. There is a reason I don’t go thru those types of washes I go to the ones you do yourself. Last time my mom panicked when we were inside one of those because she feared the paint would get scratched when the sponge thing touched it.

She's not necessarily wrong. There are many of us who either DIY only or use touchless car washes only.

Just got back from a three-mile hike with the kiddos. Well, the 2-year-old sat in the stroller mostly.
Halfway there is a bluff, on which we found two beached sailboats. They were nested one spooning the other. I wonder what happened there!

Yes I prefer doing it at home. The problem is we have a gravel driveway so it creates mud.
