Remember when

Every time I see Sugar Ray's "Every Morning" video it takes me back....

Even Buck Owens' guitar makes a cameo...

 

Might be repeat...i cant remember...

 

Welp I’m officially old. Used that glue in school

 

What was the purpose of cutting out pices of paper and gluing those pices of paper on another sheet of paper. I can't recall ever being in a situation where that was necessary.

 

How many of y'all had one of these on your dash? Any good stories, where it saved your butt, or didn't?

 

The first one I had was a square box. Called it fuzz buster

 

I remember not being allowed to touch those things.

I failed Art class !

 

I ran one till they were made illegal in Commercial vehicles.

The Ohio turnpike had the fuel saving 55mph speed limit for trucks.

I am sure it saved me a few hundred dollars in fines with them having the radar while driving.

 

i used to. Had a couple different ones. One i remember, was late at night so i was going maybe 10 over posted limit. I see the relective stripes on state Police car parked in median with lights off, about the same this truck blasts past me like i was stopped and detector goes off with the laser tone. I just start laughing cuz the the state trooper instantly turned his lights on.

It took a few minutes for him to catch up and pull him over, i caught up to them about the time the trooper was walking towards the guy in the truck. And just by his walk you could tell the trooper was pissed!

 

I had a more modern one but wasn't too impressed. It went off randomly. I was usually right on top of the radar car and could see it before it went off.

 

They got better at shutting it down and turning it on being sneaky parking over the crest of a hill .

Terrain masking become part of the hunt by the time the detector alerted you were busted.

 

Usually the radio was turned up too loud and I never heard it beeping.

When you could spend hours in the Post Office looking at the wanted posters.

I miss those days.

 

I remember ladies clipping pennies on the mailbox with a letter, and the postman would take them and put a stamp on it.

You don’t get that kind of service nowadays.

 

Nope. They leave your mailbox door open...break the door off, then leave a nasty note to fix your mail box or you wont get mail delivered...true story.

 

I was on leave in the military and driving from Va to Fl. Late at night on i-95 in SC my fuzz buster goes off I slow down, it stops and I resume my speed. A few min later it does it again. After about 4 times of this I figured the thing was flaky and just ignored it. Got pulled over a mile later. When the cop comes to the window first thing he says is; "you thought your radar detector was acting up?" I nodded. He replied "Everyone thinks that".
He was pretty cool and let me off with a warning.

 

Consider yourself lucky on that incident. I worked for the State patrol in our state doing networking (installing and repairing their data connections), and got to spend alot of time speaking to our troopers. Almost every one told me you throw away any chance of getting a warning if the trooper spoted a radar detector in your vehicle!

 

Heard this often as well, the thought being you speed often and so much that you're willing to spend money to do it..as well that you are probably still ahead since you most likely got away with it so much
