saw a Palisade hauling @ss today on the highway. Rarely is ever see a crossover towing





saw this German Audi Allroad. I like how they don’t do fake exhaust vents. They just angle down

Thanks! I love it as well.

Now I just have the LS430 tag left to personalize. "BESTLS" but I feel people would think that I'm saying my specific LS is the best, which I'm not. I mean the 430 in general IMO.

I actually have a stager who has a Palisade and pulls a trailer with it full of staging furniture every day

if you think that looks better than the genesis front plate, LMAO... that looks like shat.

glad we don't need stupid front plates in Flo Rida

Oh I think it looks way better. The Lexus grill is still pretty much ruined but the attractiveness isn't screwed up TOO badly IMO. That Genesis is just beyond terrible.

And yes they are ugly and we don't have front plates either but I am kind of surprised all 50 states don't. Police/powers that be are missing out on a lot of surveillance by the law allowing us skipping the front plate. I'm glaaaaad I don't have to ruin the front end of that SL with a plate, don't get me wrong. I won't be writing Nashville asking us if we can implement front plates, no worries.

If the cop is **** enough, he can still give you ticket for that. That doesn't cut it.

Did you mean the car or the plate?

You can and you should are quite different. IMO that's simply just stupid.

Giving tickets out for that should be banned until more serious crimes are all solved. Otherwise thats a waste of police work. And at the end of the day, the plates are still there for one to see.

i do the same for my car, it was originally a florida bought car so the holes were never drilled in the bumper, and i certainly wasn't going to lol




if the cop is annoying they'll say putting it at the base of the windshield doesn't count and it needs to be mounted to the bumper, but usually there's no trouble from just having no front plate assuming everything else is good and legit with the car

Doesn't look good, but its better than the Genesis. I'm so used to front plates on cars they don't look strange to me, but the way Genesis does it looks strange

That E55 is so beautiful.

I wanted a C55 back in 05/06. Very rare to see.
