slngsht Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Have you gotten any in your Seven? I got a well deserved one http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/blush5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnmag58 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'd never think of speeding--it's illegal you know--http://www.usa7s.com/forum/smileys/biggrinjester.gif Well I don't have my Se7en on the road yet so all I can say is that the Highway patrol guy wasn't happy with 81 in a 55 in the Subi. Actually somewhat nasty about it. Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solder_guy Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hehe! Non 7 ticket: Last time I got pulled over .. I was literally 2 minutes from the ER .. and the state trooper did not know who I was. I had to convince him that I was the ER doc and needed to get on to work. Of course it did not help that I had the Celica convertible top down and a 22" Weber Charcoal Grill in the back seat. I got off though by inviting him to come by later to the ER and get a hot dog.

stevet Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I've had one in Va in the seven - 74 in a 45, but it was very downhill, honest. I had one in the UK in my old seven (we're talking 10 years ago) - 38 in a 30, I thought that was pretty harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I've had one in Va in the seven - 74 in a 45, but it was very downhill, honest. Parts of Skyline were quite downhill too, ey? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/lol.gif We got off easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xflow7 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I haven't gotten one in the Seven. I did have a near miss where I came zooming around a corner on a rural road around here only to see a state trooper's car coming the other direction as I exited. "Oh no, I'm hosed!" I thought. But he just put his arm out the window and gave the universal sign for "take it easy" as he drove past. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/hurray.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soareyes Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This radar detector might be useful: http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2005/229/h229CRUiSA-o_all_LD.jpeg One of our local Seven drivers recently installed this after "an encounter with the law" http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/cuss.gif Its a very clean looking install as the display can be dash mounted (same size as the other round guages), and the radar antenna is hidden. The bright LED gives you visible warning since you probably won't hear the audible warning in a Seven. I'm considering getting one before I regret not doing so!

slomove Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yes, here it is.....It goes into the place of the volt meter because it has also battery voltage indication (as well as ambient temperature whatever that is good for). I stuck the antenna invisibly behind the GFRP nosecone and the superbright "annunciator" LED in a small aluminum pod on top of the dash. The additional laser pickup is stuck to the headlight carrier. Now I bet the CHP and the Sheriff are going to swith to laser guns sometimes making the whole thing alomost useless.

slngsht Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Nice install. It had been years since my last ticket, so I try to not make a habit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Nice install. It had been years since my last ticket, so I try to not make a habit of it. Well, that was my first speeding ticket after 34 years of driving....that means it sucks but I should not complain. Gert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Custom installs look great .. but it is illegal to use radar detectors in Virginia. The police confiscate them. Now what would the police do to a custom install? Rob Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Not sure what they would do with an out of state custom install. If I'm not mistaken, the early Lexus models had them built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locostv8 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I don't know if a close call counts, BUT. I was doing some consulting in Houston and had the Cobra with me. I was looking for an address in an unknown neighborhood and was becoming a bit frustrated so the pedal pressure and noise level was elevating. A cop stopped me and suggested that I watch out for the car that was tearing up the neighborhood. Guess all he saw was an old gyu in a black mustang, (hehe). At 104k it is on it's 6th set of tires and never had a wrench on it, knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnmag58 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 slngsht, For those of us who unfortunately and sadly couldn't make the Skyline trip, it appears there is a great story that's not being told--sounds like it involved a 7, cops, and posted speedlimits--anyone care to talk about it? We all learned in physcology class that you need to talk about these things--it will help you get over it!!! Come on--fess up! Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I decline to comment (and so should Mazda) on the grounds it may incriminate... Perhaps we can make this a "roundtable" discussion at 7-7-7! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnmag58 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 allright--you guys are off the hook--but we need it to be more than a round table discussion--maybe a formal presentation at 7-7-7!
