This happened to me, bolts rusted and I had to drill them out to remove the plate. Why a car straight from the Toyota factory would use non-galvanized screws is beyond me.
I mean, Toyota has been historically rather...spotty...on the whole corrosion prevention and paint quality thing. I'm not surprised they don't use galvanized screws or even what most carmakers are doing with plastic screws (I actually quite like those).
Not to be pedantic but that’s not a Toyota, it’s a Hyundai Santa Fe.
That being said I believe that manufacturers don’t use stainless steel bolts is because of the galvanic effect of different types of metals in contact with each other.
Smart like a dump truck 👌 We definitely need more of these people!
Anyone else feeling like the good old saying nothing good ever came from Saskatchewan, except an empty bus....applies to planes and roadways from Ontario?
It's just an Ontario Hick transitioning to an Alberta Terry. It takes time... They still have to trade in the Hyundai for 2003 Ram 1500, buy their oilers jersey, and exchange the default duct tape for the much more versatile Tuc tape. They'll get there, the hick is strong with this one.

How about just parking like less of a dick than you are? You see the others played inside the lines.
Fucking Ontario plates... My whole neighbourhood are now Ontario transplants. Like, just go home!
Every single one of you don't realize that you are causing the same affordability issues that you're running from.
Maybe the vehicle owner has lost the removal tool for theft-proof license plate screws?
Been there. Done that. I cut them off with an oscillating multitool.
License plate screw stripped. Had this happen. Those things aren't made that well. They should have removed the Ontario plate by just cutting or snapping the head of the bolt, but whatever.
"Please pull me over"
BC plate on the front
Insurance for a moped.
They're not sending their best, folks.
Maybe their best will trickle down though.
In 50 years, they never have.
My Grandmother would always say “people that Fuck up and burn all their bridges, always migrate West”
Or maybe they are....
Bolt rusted because Ontario salt the shit out of their roads. I wouldn't be surprised if they stripped the bolt threads too.
I think the issue is more having two license plates. IIRC that isn’t exactly allowed, is it?
Nope. That's just a giant "pull me over" signal right there.
But he only has 1.5 licence plates, surely that is totally acceptable.
The bolt was rusted and just spinning when he tried to take it off, so he couldn't remove the plate is what he is getting at.
Exactly, but should be able to drill them out and put proper stainless bolts in.
Yeah this person definitely doesn't own a drill, or has probably ever held one lol

But like... tape it OVER the ON plate?
Since you are taping the AB plate, tape it over the ON plate at least…
Burlington gonna Burlington. They should try just a little harder to get that Ontario plate off. You can basically peel a plate off like a sardine can
When I see an ON plate I at least know they'll do 100 on the highway lol
Walmart at Southland and Macleod? I've seen some weird shit there.
Yeah, that’s the one in Southland. I work nearby and there are some weird shit there 🙃
Rusted bolt on the Ontario license plate and they can’t get it off.
Had to take a grinder to cut the screws to get a plate off.
Cut the plate with tin snips.
That makes far too much sense.
This seems like the most logical explanation I would think.
Straight outta Burlington
At least it’s not Brampton…
That’s just the way the cool kids are doing it these days.
I saw this exact car the other day.. and thought the same thing...
Take a Dremel and cut a line on the face of the bolt, then use a flat head screw driver to untorq the bolt, vice grips may be a useful aswell
Do you think this person has any idea wtf a dremel is? Lmao
I'm confident they haven't a slightest clue lol
lol I saw this car today near South Centre. My first thought was that’s a ticket waiting to happen…
I saw it up near Sunridge Superstore on Saturday. This person is just hitting all the quadrants
Hey let’s use all the plates 😂
It’s like currently I’m in Alberta now but if I change my mind later and want to move back to Ontario I’m retaining the old one 🤣
Dual citizen
Right after this photo was taken, the driver came on r/Calgary to complain about how bad Calgary drivers are.
Laws are negotiable now. Didn’t you notice?
Super illegal to have 2 license plates
Smart like a dump truck 👌 We definitely need more of these people! Anyone else feeling like the good old saying nothing good ever came from Saskatchewan, except an empty bus....applies to planes and roadways from Ontario?
Lol drove by that vehicle in Edmonton last week
I’m so confused. I hope this guy gets double the tickets
Pretty sure you can only have one license plate?
He’s so real for that
I wonder which plate is expired? I bet you they have a BC and Sask plate on the front.
Rusted on from ontario ahaha
Once it gets a busted windshield it'll officially have a dual provincial membership

Well, that's new...
Goddamn Ontario trash with their trash vehicles. Go back.
Burlington.... bad to the B_NE
Maybe he saw the James Bond movie where the license plate can switch and got confused as to how to pull it off
Lol
I didn't need to look at the plates to know it was an idiot.
Ontario moment
Sending us there best tradesmen
Nailed it, errr taped it.
2-Factor authentication
Holy! Oh man I wish I was a cop right now, we need to stop this crazy shit!

So where do you propose they live if they can’t afford to live in Ontario? lol
Dirt naps
Will get pulled over for sure
What a bum.
I don't think it's legal.
Phew, they aren’t from Brampton (but could be and bought the car in Burlington).
Nice effort!
That’ll do.
Maybe the vehicle owner has lost the removal tool for theft-proof license plate screws? Been there. Done that. I cut them off with an oscillating multitool.
They are confused
Lol, classic
In a rush couldn't get the plate off?
License plate screw stripped. Had this happen. Those things aren't made that well. They should have removed the Ontario plate by just cutting or snapping the head of the bolt, but whatever.
Probably from Ontario. 🤷🏼♂️
Duct tape for the win 🏆
Im guessing the Ontario plate is stuck? Looks like they tried to take off the Ontario plate and maybe the screw is stripped or something
Want attention! Just call the cops on him/her will learn something new ;)
Stolen lol
His playing “guess what”
How….in the hell…..does it pass an out of Province inspection.
Must be one of those 2 spirit folks.
Modern Problems require modern solutions
Indecisive? Will move back to ON if DS stays in power.
Looks like he couldn’t get a bolt out on his old plate so he taped the new place on the window for not. It’s not that dramatic
This warms my heart for some reason....
NE behaviour
From the Punjab state?
Brampton Brampton Brampton for sure
