Uncertainty is all part of the fun...

I'll probably have a 'nice' car again for the meet, all depends on what I wanna do. Cheap miata / E36 / other paid in full or a new Fiesta ST / Mustang GT / BRZ if I'm unable to easily work on my own cars anymore.

My Fiesta ST is ready for me to pick up. Just gotta get there. Was hard to not jump on the 0% for 60 mo. deal

Unfortunately radar detectors don't go around corners....lol
 
I am hopeing to get my buddy club short shifter soon and a downpipe, but i need tires right now so everything else is on hold. unfortunately tires are the one thing you have to have.
 
I have had a few V1s since 2007.. They are good for highway but useless at the dragon. The cops are smart and will pop you with laser as you come round the corner. When your V1 goes off, they already have the speed in their equipment and you'll shortly be pulled over.

I'll probably look around for a deal like that later in the summer, I may also see if there are any leftover 2014 buttstang GTs or traded in 12-13 models since everyone will be wanting to get the 2015 when it hits dealers. Still have to sit in and drive the Fiesta ST. My only worry is that after a year I'll look at it and think "I only got a Fiesta, but I really wanted (insert rwd or v8 rwd car here)".

In the case of the Outback, It may not even make it to your house if there's something wrong with it.

what did you think of the V1 tho man? was it worth the price?

im a fan of the Escort 9500 and the Escort Passport Max. It's really convenient to lock out known false signals or mark known police locations or forint to tell me when a red light camera is ahead. Then add in the updating with their national database. Love it
 
I had the 9500 too - it was better in every way but the arrows on the V1 made me go back to the V1. Personal choice. I drive like a grandma on the street so it got used less and less as i "matured".

Haha. When I got the 9500ix, I drove on the edge of ticketland. It quickly changed to 5-7 over the limit and find that I use cruise control more than ever. But I can now say that all tickets have cleared my insurance and my rates went down 40%.

Funny how the definition of "sexy" changes throughout your life
 
I find it amazing how the outlook on life can change so quickly over a short amount of years haha. I go back and read my posts from 2007 and often want to hide my head in shame. At least I'm banned on the other site so it looks like I was a badass and a know-it-all. Both are untrue, but internet repz FTW! lol..

Of course he never gets pulled over, he drives a car that doesn't exist..

I neither used nor needed a radar detector, I use the force. Of course my beater never gets noticed anyway.

No detector here and I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in over 7 years. I use the force as well plus common sense.

I would follow y'all but Nix has advised against it so I'm on the fence hahaha Hmm .... < slow group .....or ..... Fast group> Is there a happy median?
Click to expand...

There is a happy median... Behind the fast drivers and in front of the slow drivers... Just don't push you or car past its limits

Just watch out for the LX with white TL's like the one in my sig.....lol
