I've lived with front plate law for many years. You're right, I'd like it better without it and I'm happy that the vintage cars are exempted. The press that Texas gets about the rebel attitude may be a bit over sold. I will say that I'm very grateful for many of the freedoms afforded Texans that many of our united states do not appreciate.
I'd love to do a hill country tour and was talking to a good fried about an April Bluebonnet run. The traditional March Hill Country Rally for Porsche is air cooled cars only. 100 cars is a bit much for my preference. My vote would be 10 or less
