I still don't mind the front plate. Guess it's just cause I'm used to seeing them all my life. In Texas, the inspection sticker goes in the lower left corner of the windshield, along with the annual license-plate renewal sticker. They started that several years ago because people used to "renew" their plates by carefully scraping the yearly sticker off someone else's rear plate. Ah, the joys of life in San Antonio.....
