That's hilarious! Well, I've got a new toy that just mounts up on a utility pole in a little box. It's got radar inside it and I can use it to do traffic enforcement needs surveys. It'll do a traffic count and break down speeds of passing vehicles by time of day etc. It's a good tool and can save a lot of wasted man hours. We get a lot of frivilous and outrageous complaints about speeding. This thing has been great so far in helping us find true trouble spots in town and setting up radar where we need it.

In vanceboro Nc several years ago they parked a "dummy" (yes with dummy) car across the street from my house (Hwy 17 ran right in front of my house) someone put about 50 dunkin donut boxes and coffee cups outside drivers door. It was great. Then kids started throwing milk shakes, burgers etc at it when they learned it was bogus.Anyway one day they removed dummy car and put a real car with cop in it in its place kids came up on bikes and threw full school milk cartons at windshield not realizing real cop was inside. It was soooooo beyond funny seeing him flip light bar make "whoop" sound and jump out and tell bratz to FREEZE! Worth a million words had a pic been taken I would have been rich had I videoed.
Thank you kind sir.

Well, guys. DMV was less painful than I expected.
Under a half hour and I was done. And I saw someone who took their test right before me there in line right before me.
Somehow my license says it doesn't expire until 2014?
Anyways I'm off to visit my grandparents and earn a few quick brownie points.

More throttle response in 120, definitely. I can barely keep the truck on the road with the rotten tires I have. Seems to be more smoke in 80E though.
Maybe its because im going faster in 120 and I don't see the smoke...
Mark I ordered those wheels/tires. I'll have them on by next Friday.
