My white camaro attracts more than enough attention. Plus it sounds like a freaking race car.

I don't think so. It may stand out more, but if a car is speeding, it is speeding, no matter the color, and that draws more attention to the popo.

for you, it means you are doing about 15-20 mph faster than you are supposed to be. Not that it's a bad thing, but could be a costly thing.

I've got plenty of speeding tickets under my belt. Now I try to keep it nothing more than 10 over.

I sent my Valentine 1 in for "upgrades". I want to keep my early warning system up to date with the latest software.

How much does that detector cost? I really need to get a good detector.

I like mine, it's a Valentine 1

http://www.valentine1.com/ - $400

one reason I went with theirs is that it IS upgradable. After 5 years, no need to trash and buy anther one. I think once you read all the information on it, it's pretty impressive.

Black cars are super sexy too. I think more so than red. It is just really hard to keep them clean.

Suspension arms like toe links and trailing arms? Maybe upper control arm mounts as well with upgraded bushings?
I was actually looking at the Pfadt (AFE power) toe links and trailing arms but really don't want to mess with my car believe it or not lol.

Just ask for the money. Anything car related you need/want?
Lol well I want a 418 LSX motor and AGP Twins (6266 precision turbos) and a DSS 9in conversion and a squash fuel system and ID2000s and a tune. I also want my own house lol. Lots of wants but nothing really reasonable to ask for


I was thinking about a gun safe then buying myself either a Mossberg 590A1 Tactical or a FN FNX-45 Tactical or a Beretta 1301 tactical.

From my experience, when a radar detector " detects" your already done for.
