    I'm basically stuck dealing with a fucking divorce, about 4 years ago two of my best friends hooked up. Got engaged, and everythings going down in a fiery blaze at the moment. Was up till 2am dealing with girl because she (and I quote) "Is going to get so drunk I forget my name".

    I spent from 11 to 2am with her, keeping her drinking moderate to low then I tell her its time to sleep, she can pass out on the couch, says goodnight. I wake up at 6am to her having finished her booze, gone through some of mine. and barely fucking concious. Drove her home and put her to bed before coming into work this morning.

    do yourself a favor. Keep it at 9 over and then you don't really have to worry. It will save you a lot of money in the long run between gas, tickets, and insurance. ask me how i know.....:anonymous:

    I had one a while back (9500 maybe?). It was good. Picked up on just about every kind of radar out there. Was really annoying in gas stations though - automatic doors set it off like crazy. I'm sure this has gotten better over time, though.

    I won't be spending my money on one ever again though. I got pulled over twice while having it - both times I got hit with LIDAR. Maybe they have progressed a lot in the last 5-6 years, but back then, by the time it warned you of it, you were being lit up.

    Thankfully I was never going that fast - only about 8-9 over. I'm always very respectful to cops and I make sure I do all the right stuff. Keys up on the dash, hands on the steering wheel, no fiddling with stuff in the car, hand them my CCW before they see it when they run me, etc... They seem to appreciate it.

    Obviously depends on where you are. 9 over in a 35 is different than 9 over in a 70.

    I'm disrespectful to the max, tell them I'm going to murder their wife and kids, spit on their shoes. I've never once gotten a ticket.

    Maybe your doing it wrong??

    I haven't had a ticket in almost 10 years now. I got 3 within a year and had to go to driving school so i didn't lose my license. Insurance went through the roof. I can't imagine what the cost would be if i had actually lost my license. The extra 5 -10 mph won't get you there much faster. Is a minute or 2 of your time really worth the $$$ you could spend on tickets and insurance?

    On the interstate I'm running 5-10 under, 65 MPH does wonders for your gas mileage, especially when you're running a lift and MT's. I'll take 22 MPG's and an extra 30 minutes of driving over 16 MPG's any day

    Well normally I agree with you, round town I'm never speeding, but having a 5 hour drive to the nearest city gets old fast.
