But Rozar, a recommendation from the "perfect paranoia is perfect awareness" school of internet usage: I would never post a pic of my vehicle on the 'net - especially nowadays and especially in context of philosophy/politics - with the actual license plate numbers showing. True, a Nogoodnik would have to know someone at the DMV to get your identity and street address, but... never assume. What's posted on the internet is forever.
Granted too that Galt's Gulch is likely far more secure than Facebook, but something I did on FB before posting before-after pics of my car (after hitting a jumbo-sized piece of living room furniture on a particularly-dark LA onramp,) was to take the image into getPaint.net - freeware Photoshop, basically - and clone a single number from the plate and repeat it all the way across. Or you could do a blur effect, paste in a featureless block, or just crop it out, etc.
Again, perhaps overly cautious, but given the Oregon plates, and remembering the sheer quantity of vandalism instances on my car during my 16 years in PDX (for my anti-collectivism stickers - and man, could I tell some stories on that,) it was the first thing that hit me - "He's showing his plates!?!"
.
My CRV was tagged once...the illegal alien or the libtard pinhead wasn't so thoughtful.
Coupled with the fact I don't have much to lose, I'm not worth any ones time.
Thank you for your concern though.
I'd hang it from my rear view-
