you've never experienced true speed until you go 20 mph. Everything starts to become a blur

happy dying/car impounding everyone

radar detection, here i come.

I went down to Ventura last weekend, but I run radar. I had two lock ons, but had plenty of time to back off. I also only hit 100 for a split second. BTW: I was driving a chevy van sentry65.

the engine shuts off at 100 in those.

It was the best investment I ever made on something aftermarket for a car.
Without getting into brands a good one is $300.00 at least, but mine has saved me many, many times. I have a solo 1 and a solo 2.....everyone has their favorites, but I like mine cuz it has no wires showing and I can put it on the floor in a second.

One in the Z and one in the van. The van is a 5.3 Vortec (300hp) with Doug Thorly headers, Flowmasters, K&N intake etc etc. I like all my vehicles to perform well.

radar detectors are legal though, no? i thought just scramblers were illegal.
why would you need to put it on the floor?

I know what you mean. I was follow by a cop for miles while evreyone else was flying by me. He was very annoyed that I had a radar detector clearly visible to him. My brother was also harrased by several officer although it is legal to use. I was like, wait, just wait. The best thing to do is to just pull over as soon as you see them and put your hands behind your back as if taunting them to arrest you.
