I deal with racism enough in GA. sorry I know that was a lil  . hey TAG if you see a camaro with GA plates feel free to pull me over...to say hi of course...lol |
Mine is a Whistler 1630 model and I love it. It's old as heck and has been discontinued (prolly around 10 years old) but I'm sure Whistler would have another good one on the shelf. Remember, it will save you MOST of the time. All the officer has to do is wait until you get closer to turn that radar on and he's got ya. And...if you have a RDU (radar detector in use) and you're stopped, your pretty much guaranteed to get a ticket.
If you're driving through San Antonio, I'd be happy to "stop" ya and say hi. I'm sorry there are still towns out there that have problems and people like that. I've heard stories too (Vidor out in East Texas). When I'd drive throught there on my way to Louisiana (to see my wife at LSU), there were the rebel flags on bumpers, windows, etc. I see them here too, but this is a city w/ clost to what??? 2 million people? And I rarely see them here. In Vidor, I passed through and saw maybe 5-7 flags here and there on cars.
Ok...back on topic.
