He goes on and says, you know your in violation to the law, your suppose to have it mounted on the front. I said O.K. How? There is no place to mount it. So he brings me around the front of the XF and says " You have to DRILL some holes here and get it on. Okay I say, first I'll get the drill and bore some holes in your bumper first and see what it looks like. He says look, I am giving you a break, if you want I'll write you up and you can argue with the judge. So I bit my tongue and sped off into the sunset toward home and parked it. There is no way on gods green earth that Iam putting a drill bit to the bumper of my car. Any suggestions out there?
Yes, don't go through that toll plaza in your Crossfire anymore.

Enjoy the ride!
