Default Should be illegal

Before my GT4 was delivered I had checked and the standard NC tag "GT4" was available. When I went to get that tag a couple weeks later, it had been taken. I assumed by another GT4. But, today fate intervened, and I found the IMPOSTOR going to 5-Guys for a burger. Why would someone do this? For goodness sake, it's not even a 981 AND it's a base model. SMH.

Or maybe theirs is on the way and they didn't want someone else to take it out from under them...

Haha - could be a legit reason. Turns out we think we have seen the guy at 5-guys before so we probably will again, and I will ask him! Maybe we need to start the buy/sell tag market like they have in Europe!

Doesn’t your car already say GT4 on the back?

I'd imagine his name is something common like "George Thompson" and and the first 3 plates were already taken.

Ask the owner to sell you the plate.....I'm sure he knows about the Porsche tax and wanted to capitalize while he could......Phil
