Hi. I want to ask something, it's doesn't have much sense for the theme but i always wanted to ask for it. I've been living in Spain for 5 months now, i'm learning very good the spanish.
And the question...
Why the license plates here (matriculas) are only metal? Why the cars do not have plastic housings for the plates? I will show now what i mean...
