That is pretty much where I landed on the issue. In the city it isn't an issue unless you park on the street, which I try to avoid anyway. I got nailed yesterday because I stopped at Starbucks for under 3 minutes.

My Solstice GXP is street parked and gives an abject lesson in why I'll never mount a front plate or park be M Coupe out there. The front plate looks awful on the Pontiac, and the bumpers are slowly getting chewed up by people parking via feel.
