Is SRGross American because he sure spells words wrong a lot...haha just kidding. Did everyone hear that their was a recall of 30,000+ SAPI plates in Jan 29th I believe. They don't think they met standards, and they have no idea were the plates are. Your supposed to be able to look at your SAPI plate for two numbers, but I forgot the numbers...
More PT, less posting. That's not a suggestion. Peregrino

Is SRGross American ? I ask because he sure spells words wrong a lot...haha , just kidding. Did anyone hear that there was a recall of 30,000+ SAPI plates in Jan .? The 29th , I believe. They don't think they met standards, and they have no idea where the plates are. You're supposed to be able to look at your SAPI plate for two numbers, but I forgot the numbers. . .
