Ha, find it better to be anonymous, bad enough having a license plate that gives away your state, and fresh meat when you drive out of state. Removed all that dealer stuff off all of my vehicles, gives away your town.

Ha, would like to get one of those James Bond cars where you can push a button to change to the license plate in the state you are driving.

Ha, driving my Supra when it was brand new wasn't too much fun, could get a speeding ticket when parked. More fun today, when its old and next to worthless.
Try having Colorado tags in Nebraska. Apparently all Nebraska police think that every car coming out of Colorado is carrying marijuana.

I mean...that's probably not a far stretch...
Not really. Probably no more than 10% of our state population uses. We actually see a lot of people from out of state coming here to smoke. I'd be more tempted to pull over someone with Nebraska tags who's coming out of Colorado.

I plasti dipped my wheels black for a bit. I liked the black look of wheels on my black cruze but they were difficult to dip right. The inner part of the spokes were hard to coat correctly. So I peeled them off as I was replacing my struts recently lol.

Added my own splash shields to my Cruze, use to call these mud flaps, but stone shields is more like it. Wouldn't need these if they flared out the rear of the fenders.

Added plastic side moldings, yeah only good for other small cars, no protection from pickups or SUVs, but at least some protection. Side moldings are history for practically all vehicles, really noticed this on many vehicles without them with all kinds of dents in the doors.

Never even notice door sill plates were missing until I first washed the car, scratch marks on the paint, so added sill plates.

Installed chrome tire valve caps with a neoprene seal on the inside, cheapass plastic ones don't have these, salt water can get in corroding the valves, want an arm and a leg for these things.

Weird these come with more expensive carpeted floor mats, just went with 27 buck a set mats that when they getting dirty, pitch them and replace them. I wanted black, wife was along, she wanted tan to match the interior, but they are black anyway because we walk on hot asphalt that sticks to our shoes. Next to impossible to keep clean, but at least the carpeted ones that came with it are still clean.

We still have weather strip on our windshield to keep water from freezing up expanding into ice that can crack the windshield, but see in later models, Chevy got rid of those, Toyota already left those out, so ran away from a Camry, but plan on running away from the Cruze as well, next time. Plus can't get a MT in a 2LT.

What will they leave off next?

Ha, another story, had problems with my 16 year old son with a heavy foot, had my 65 Buick at that time. Needed a part for it from the wrecking yard when we could go back there, can't anymore. Asked my son to come along, found one exactly like ours, but experience a headon.

Front end was all smashed in, windshield was broken like a body flew through it and blood was all over the place. Just need a piece off the trunk, could buy a piece back then, not the whole car.

This was completely unintentional, but when my son saw that and all that blood, he really slowed down. Didn't have to say a word. Been a good driver ever since, gee, today, he is older than me!
