Edited Meet and Greet time

 

What's going on at North Avenue Beach?

 

orgy, perhaps?


AAH edited times! now i have to leave at 1am instead of 3am friday "morning" haha. may as well leave at midnight to be on the safe side. wait... 14h drive time... 1h 'safety buffer'..... = 15h and 16:00-15 = 1... k so it was 1am then.

 

increase speed by 5 mph and save 30 minutes

 

prolly set it at 8-over.. i don't know where the cops lurk, and i don't want to find out. nor can i afford to find out.

 

Enjoying the beach.........and the first day of Summer!!!!!!!!!!

Edited: first post for more info.

 

Xander I haver a suggestion for a few of the smokers here. I see on Friday, and Saturday night you leave it up to the individual to choose what they want to do. ChicagoMax98(Azeem) has his own hookah/cigar lounge. I'm planning to make a trip out to his place on Friday night from downtown after the cruise/photo shoot. Anyone that wants to join and follow me. Place closes at 2am.
For Saturday night i can show them/suggest a few clubs to visit.

 

Wow, the beach sounds like a good idea. Hope you guys have a blast!

 

What's the deal with front license plates? I seriously haven't seen my front plate in 8 years. I can do some digging though.

 

it technically only applies to Illinois registered cars, but some cops may decide to write the ticket anyhow.
BTW Wisconsin is a mandatory front plate state as well.

 

..... this could be a problem. In NC, there is no such thing as a "front license plate"..... ie, I don't have another plate to put on my car, period. Well, I have a Minnesota plate from my parts car, but you know what I mean.

 

Bring a copy of the law that says only a rear plate is required?

i'll call the DMV later and ask them where i can get that information to print and carry with me. the officer SHOULD know though, or be able to call in and ask his jurisdiction. I can always make a cardboard one (snap a pic, print on printer, wrap around cardboard, tape in back, done. or wrap it around my parts car's LP.

 

I would not worry about it. If your state doesn't require a front plate, you can tell the officer that. Odds are that you only get pulled over for doing something wrong, not only a front plate. I am going to take a chance on not having one. I don't even have a bracket, or holes for a bracket. on my WI registered car. I just don't plan on driving in a way that draws attention.

 

im probably gonna re-put mine on...ive heard stories about IL cops being ****s about wisconsin plates before...Here in madison cops dont care about it, ive never got pulled over for it.

 

hahaha. "A" for effort.

so what's the deal in WI? supposed to have 2 plates but nobody cares? they give you 2 plates just in case you go to another state that requires them?

 

In Wisconsin law requires you to have a front and back plate. But I live in the downtown of a city and cops here dont care cause they have more important things to do. Madison cops are actually pretty lenient on speeding too unless you are doing a ridiculous speed. Out in the smaller towns though cops will more likely pull you over for not having a front plate on. You can see in my sig that I still have the front plate on but it has long been off now.

 

I was running only a rear WI plate on one of my cars down here with no issues. BUT cops at a car show can be ****s.

 

I figured a way to mount a front plate (if I have to) so I will throw it in the trunk. If I get stopped I'll offer to put it on right there. Problem solved
