How long did it take for you to get pulled over after getting your Z?

About two minuets! I only drove about 4 or so blocks from the Nissan Dealership and got pulled over by a policeman standing in the roadway next to some construction.
When I bought my new Z the sales manager said it would be a shame to drill holes in the front bumper for the front license plate mount. I couldn’t make up my mind about it, so he just put the plate and the mounting stuff in the trunk. The cop at the road construction was super nice, congratulating me on the new car and all. He said to go back and get the front plate on. I still couldn’t bear the thought of defacing my brand new car, so I snuck off home instead. A couple of weeks later I got pulled in a seatbelt type check for the same no/plate. This time I had to make up a little story about the car being shipped with the wrong front plate mount and the dealership had to order the correct one. The Cop didn’t really believe that, but conceded that he had actually paid money to hear worse acting than my spiel. He let me go on the proviso that I have that plate on the next time he catches sight of me.
By now two things occurred to me, I could easily charm my way out of a ticket, but the odds were stacking against me on seeing the same cop twice. Resigned to providence, I got a front plate installed.
