Today's Rave: I got my front license plate back.
So back in December we hit a deer. And in January we took the Santa Fe to the body shop. And what was supposed to be 10 days, turned into four weeks. And we were getting really close to the day we had to head out of town because the house was going to be staged for sale. And they delivered the car about 30 hours before our drop dead out of the house time in a howling blizzard. And 30 hours later we were on the road.
And we didn't notice until we were in Alabama that the front license plate wasn't there. A phone call verified that they had it.
We got back from Florida and did the close on the house sale and then had to find a new place to live. And get the house emptied and everything moved. And by the time the madness started receding, it was June.
The reason this caused a certain amount of tension is that a front plate is required in this jurisdiction. But given the number of Tesla's I've seen here with no front plate, that rule isn't enforced. But I bet if I got stopped for some other infraction, they'd add that one to the ticket. The fine for non-conforming plates is $100.
And so today we called the place and asked if they still had the license plate. And at first they couldn't find it, but it turned up in the service writer's (who didn't work there any more) desk. And I went and glommed it and put it back on.
