The saga of my new license plate

8/26/2014

I bought my 2001 Audi TT in November 2000. It was brand new and had no front license plate. I drove it everywhere. No problem.

About 5 months ago having left my car at the Santa Barbara Airport parking lot while traveling, I returned to find a ticket for not having a front license plate. The penalty was $45 or prove that the situation had been rectified within 30 days. I paid the fine. About a month ago, I parked my car at a public lot in Santa Barbara while attending the WAVE Film
Festival only to discover I had received another fine for not having a front license plate. Now, I understand city's are strapped for money and Police Departments are looking to generate additional revenue, but really . . . after almost 14 years to get tickets for not having a front license plate?

This time, I made an appointment with DMV and paid for two new plates. Since this car was not intended to sport a front license plate my options were to a) drill holes into the plastic bumper, b) jury-rig magnets in a way that I found online in an Audi TT chat room, or c) take it to the Audi dealership and pay about $150 for a new specially designed plastic license plate holder. Yes, I chose option 3. Having recently just replaced my oil pan — most likely from driving on our rutted dirt road to my studio — $150 seemed like a bargain!

Judi I have heard about you from two mutual friends. Stephanie Slosser and stephanie boumediene. I recently read the intro to your blog. Like you I love to travel and learn about different cultures. Might we meet for coffee either in SB or the valley. I would enjoy connecting. Best regards, Mary Ellen Tiffany

I am already in the position to buy this from you. If you want the money, then I can provide it for you right away. I have lots of things that I want, and this is one of them. I am really looking forward to buying this from you. I really do want this for the collection of fish that I am trying to build. This would really make me happy, so please, just let me be the one to buy this.

Love to meet. Best for me after the election as I am very involved locally. Does that work for you?
