cato, it's not really legal on any cars, just most cops have better things to do than write a plate ticket. I got one in my old 95 ford escort for no front plate. since then I
ve had the G35 coupe and teh STi. never ahd front plates on any of my cars and havne't been harassed at all since the ticket in the escort. in the process of giving me one of my speeding tickets in the coupe the officer said he could write me up for no plate but he understand why I don't have it so he'd overlook it. not like it'd matter at all, I'd pay the ticket and still not have a front plate and an 88$ plte fine doens't would have been sprinkles on the top of the $300+ speeding ticket I was getting.

Around the bigger metro areas, cops won't (as far as everyone I know has experienced) pull you over for no front plate. My brother on the other hand who's lived in College Station for a decade has been popped 5 or 6 times for it. Take your chances.
On another note, outstanding drive, guys. Wish I could have been there for the duration, but Saturday certainly wet my whistle (literally in the morning) as far as need for speed goes. Certainly had some faster speeds than I expected even with the wet weather in the morning. Loved the route, too (RBStampede I flashbacks.... those roads are downright awesome), so gg Turk.
Hated waking up Sunday morning, looking out the window, and not seeing a cloud in the sky. Maybe next time. \:

An exercise in wet road handling

Yes, Cato, the wet roads Saturday morning made the first half of the day a little more interesting. It was a long exercise in wet road handling. Imagine driving on roads on ridges and valleys where one side of the road is a rock wall, the other side is a cliff and valley, curves are marked mostly 25 mph and many are marked 15 mph, and finally, where the there are guardrails on these curves not more than a few inches from the edge of the road. There is practically no room for error. The adrenaline is high. And the roads are still wet as the clouds are slowly clearing the sky!
Everyone did very well on these roads. Everyone was responsible. I was very impressed. I am sure there were some close calls but I didn't see them because I was in the very front.
I believe that everyone became a better driver and now has a much better understanding of the limits of their vehicle's handling...and their own driving abilities.

So why did Wile E. Coyote never catch the Road Runner? He wasn’t driving a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo! Sad to say, there is one fewer road runner in the Texas hill country. It ran into Mike's 300ZX TT. Yep, straight into the intake. The critter had no idea where the Z came from. Whole body intact except for the head (which was decapitated upon impact). It is Beep!Beep! no longer. This is the first time I have seen or heard of someone who had a run-in with a road runner. Pictures of the extraction and burial are shown below.
