More radar today..............

Circle drive north of 8th Street in the construction zone.
Good thing I wasn`t in a hurry even though I was running a little behind in going to a job this afternoon. Ain`t life grand!

Lately the bears have been hungry round here, they`ve started sitting in the construction zones just like the real bears do in the garbage dumps.

I was smart today, when i was in town I took preston to get to circle from 8th street. I kinda figured there was a reason traffic was backed up so much around there.

Im betting because of your age and exhaust. Ive had that happen to me when I was younger with my mustang.

What I did then is put the car in the lowest gear I could, and drove teh exact speed limit, so my car was revving and making noise and i was still doing the speed limit

You don`t want to choke or tease `em too much, they have a way of getting even. Let sleeping dogs lie....

i enjoyed comming off the lights flat out, but not exceeding the limit... had one try to ticket me one time until i told him the courts would welcome both of us... i wasn't racing, didn't bark 'em, wasn't even loud, and i didn't break the speed limit...

That`s cool Sherm.
I like to do that too, zero to 50 kms quickly and keep it there till I`m out of site.

Theres nothing wrong with poking the bear, as long as ya know to not poke it to much

I know some of them hate it when a guy speeds up to quickly to the speed limit! Ive heard of someone getting a attempting to race type ticket, forget the actual name.

There was inspection (i think) at the end of 8th street between mcercher and the briarwood area. Seen a brand spanking new superduty with a large lift on it, Im guessing he was getting his truck inspected cause of the height. Nice looking truck though
