So I've been searching around to see if there was an undetectable radar/laser detector and it seems like this is the only one around. I've been wanting a detector for a long time but I know the cops here carry detector detectors since detectors are illegal   :rage:

There's a link of the test. So do these actually work?
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

It's not like you'll have much need for it when your car's at home sitting while your license is suspended. :evildude:

Try buying some stealth paint from the Air Force. They use it to paint the B-2. I'm sure they have some extra.

Good idea.. any linky to where I can buy it?  I've always want to make my car matte.

It would be a fantastic idea to drop them an email asking for stealth paint just to see how they'd respond.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

should i just sell the SVT and pick up a bike? I mean the biggest thrill I get is speed - not acceleration, but speed.

The sense of speed on a bike is so much more thrilling...

But he will be less dangerous to everyone else. Not a bad compromise.  :lol:

I disagree. I think a Triumph Speed Triple is a better beginner bike (shorter wheelbase, tons of torque, impossible to keep front wheel on the ground)

While I would normally say get a motorcycle, Ed, you are not the most responsible person in the world.

You'd just kill yourself.

I can be responsible and sometimes when I need to be serious I am (which doesn't occur too often  :praise:)

Like I said in the chat thread, I don't want you out there being counted in the same group as myself.  You'd just be another squid out there plastering yourself to the back of a semi, and making the rest of us look bad.  If I'm lucky, maybe you'd even raising my insurance premiums because of it.  There is a reason sport bikes cost so much to insure....
