Only cars I think that "might" replace it would be an M3 (used), a Stang shelby (used), a Stang 5.0 new (let the flames begin), a G37 vert used, and that's about it.


Now about the quote regarding the week, yes, it's been a long and difficult week. I am ready for this day to be over. Buddy is visiting us this weekend, so I'll be giving him a ride in the Z. Haven't seen him in close to a year.
You are correct, sir. It is a "sports coupe". Hope I didn't offend anyone.

Have fun this weekend and remember my motto... "No tickets and not body damage!"

Had my first experience with a "camera ticket" a couple of weeks ago. It was in my name but it was my son's car. They had stills printed on the letter of him making a right turn on red without the "stop" part. They also had a great quality video online to view with laser verified speed posted in the corner. There was no doubt he was guilty. In our area, it cost him $50 and no ding on your license or insurance. You could fight it if you want but he would have lost.


Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... I hate that I can't own a radar detector!!!

I have the Bel RX65 and it has saved me many times, im not sure how he got me but he did say my average speed was 80. I typically dont speed much but 80 comes up without me even noticing it.

They were policing that street heavily that day, 3 laser cops and a few more patrol cars within 10 miles. Dont speed on the WestPark Tollway if you are in the Houston area!

After all the paperwork was complete I asked him how he got me. He explained that they run around with their radar in passive, stand-by mode and that, with a single push of a button, can get an instant read on your speed.

The 9500ix is still a great unit and has saved me on many occasions.
Yeah I guess our detectors aren't fool proof, but usually when I hear a beep, I slow down. False beeps have virtually been eliminated on my route.

I don't hate them, but the guys that drive them often times are asshats and think they are the fastest thing on the road. I had a guy pass me last week in one and he looked over like he wanted me to run him and I just laughed and shook my head... so he takes off and VERY slowly gets down the road. I looked over at my Fiancee and said "is that really all that car has?"

Neither of us were impressed.
