Well, except you're now forcing people to damage their cars for no reason.

Not all problems need to be solved by legislation. Some can be solved by common sense.

You mean taking a drill bit and drilling into the plastic for no reason other than to affix a useless plate of metal ISN'T damage?

I mean, I guess you could just be an animal and not pre-drill your holes and just directly screw into the bumper. I guess if we're already fucking up the bumper, who cares about doing it the right way anyhow.

Ugh, so fucking ugly. No thanks. Almost as bad as drilling into the front bumper.

I'll get one if you pony up the money for the mount, though.

Edit: Make sure to get me one that doesn't interfere with my parking sensors, since there's one right by the tow hook, thanks.

Did you forget this question you posited me?

You asked me why I didn't want to run one. I told you it's primarily for aesthetics from the get go, which includes position of the plate and not having gaping holes in my bumper if I DO move the front plate to the tow hook. See how those interact?

Also, not all cars have a tow hook you welt.

I do enjoy your ad hominem attacks though, really backs up your argument.

>Lol TIL I'm a welt

I mean, when you keep insisting on using irrelevant personal attacks in a lame attempt to back up your argument, you're a welt, yes.

>law went to damaging your car

That's because you misunderstood the argument. I never made the claim about damaging MY car. I've always stated from the get-go that my reason is aesthetics. My "damaging bumpers" argument arose from when you said you can solve the uber front plate issue by requiring front plates. That is when I made the argument that you would be forcing people to drill into their bumpers, as not all cars have factory tow hook mounts. The "damage" argument was meant to apply to the population as a whole, not me personally.

I hope that clears it up for you. I'm not sure where you're getting this whole "the man can't tell me what to do" bit, so I can't really help you there. It seems like you're just trying to build me up in your mind to be an objectively bad person so you can justify your unwarranted vitriol.
