Wilky
experience:
in a perfect world.. no one would give a crap's ass if someone's plates were shown... but if someone wanted your car... they take your plate number, find out where you live by dmv records, and take your car... especially in cases where you have a 450hp ,538hp... and that frankenstien TT SHO motor.. i heard he's expecting over 600 when he finishes tuning...
its common sense that thousands of people see your plates every day.... duh..
but when people know extra about your car... and know what it can do...and if they have the right connections they can take it from you..
many people get their cars stolen that way..
i know this kid here from brooklyn who had a civic hatch who used to race at hunts point,BX, and flatlands bklyn.. he had a GSR motorswap, and they used to take pics of his car every night, and put it on the internet... shortly after pics were posted, his car was stolen right infront his house.
things are probably alot different in canada, eveyrone says "ey", and speaks french... and drinks maple syrup.... but here in NY, i wouldnt want to post pics of peoples plate #'s.
thats my oppinion.
