Re: time to paint

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

I drove my GTI around for a few months with no front bumper. Nobody hassled me
for it. I got stopped once, though, and I asked the cop if I needed a front
bumper. He said that I didn't, as long as there was a license plate there.
There was. I think he was wrong, though, because I've since been told I do need
one. I dunno. (I have one now, anyway)
