Yeah the yule tide came in!
Had to drive the SUV around much of last week because the SVX would have choked on the water levels I was going through (passed a few sports cars with hoods up and dead engines that didn't judge the depth and went through).
Finally got to drive the SVX again and get pulled over the first day for no front plate - 3rd time within a year, about 10th time in 8 years. Wonder if they keep track of these warnings? Maybe time to buy a bracket...
