[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3620261, member: 24583"] Ha, enjoy reading this. I am 73 and most likely have had more speeding tickets than most posting here if the records go back that far, most before detectors. Back then 125+ in my 327 56 chev in a 65 posted was a $20 ticket. I started running detectors when Radio Shack (Originally aTulsa company) came out with one. It has been a battle of the electronics since then. One guy on one side of the street manufacturing and selling radar guns and equipment to LEO. His brother on the other side of the street manufacturing and selling detectors for the public. (Supposed to be a real story several years ago from one of the car magazines). haha One time I was in an aquward situation, thought I had turned my detector off, but it kept going off and beeping as his partner was shooting others while I was showing my license to the officer out my window. Well he did not think that was funny, but he did gave me a warning and said I must have been paying attention to my driving that I knew I was speeding but I also was aware of what was going on around me rather than being asleep at the wheel. Cool Dude who was real and realized I was driving safely at the speed I was. I never got over the "need for speed," but found other ways to get it. Fast dirt bikes, Mechanicing a Nitro funnycar a couple years. Then later having an OHP plane 2 hangars down from mine. He rode a Suzuki Hayabusai to work many days. I always wondered if that might be a "Conflict of interest"? One time I asked him if it idled in first gear below the speed limit? He just looked at me and smiled. haha [/QUOTE]
