Last week I had some idle time, and I was looking up whether they sold multi-color e-ink displays in a 6"x12" size. My state doesn't even emboss plates anymore. If I did mount one and kept my real tag number on it, could anyone even tell? I'm boring as shit, so I don't know why I'd have a James Bond gadget on my car... > Looks like pump then pay is more regional than I assumed. Yes it’s still a thing in some parts of the US in 2023. I haven't seen this in forever. Even the shitty little gas stations where I grew up, I thought those were all upgraded ages ago. The EPA tends to frown on tanks that have been in the ground a long time, and since that's the biggest cost, they tend to get the electronics upgraded too so that it's pay at the pump. No idea why anyone with cash wouldn't be forced to pay first.

There was a post on here where some one mentioned a lot of people just install bike racks to block the plate and said Amazon sells lots of plate hiding stuff. I'd definitely seen plastic covers that obviously made the plate very hard to read in the wild but I'd never really thought about using different kinds of luggage racks to obscure plates. Of course, my state used a bunch of bad paint on license plates for a number of years so you could just peel off all the paint removing any contrast from a legit plate and you'd look no different than most people's unreadable plates anyway.

  Which is all well and good until someone aims a camera to capture the VIN number near your drivers side dash. That’s the thing it’s easy to say something is a perfect crime, it’s harder to prove.
