Gengar - thanks for your input. Bought you a track version, huh? What's your top speed so far? Done the launch? Yeah, winter sucks...
To kick up your excitement for LFA another notch, you can take your LFA to Nurburgring and go like this:

Well, sort of. Got speed reduced to 85 mph, which gives me 5 points on my license and probably "safety school" or short suspension. Beats 6 month suspension and review with state traffic board...

This is the reason I need to watch my lead foot. I usually go across the boarder to Va. And Pa. to open up the isF. Reaching 100+ has been to easy and smooth on the open roads!

Yup. Been pulled over in the IS F plenty. Usually "nice car" and a warning, but sometimes you get a ball buster...

I REALLY need a radar detector.

Work on a point and shoot EMP device So if the cops chase you, you can shut them down before they catch you / call for back up

Radar jammers don't work, but thanks for the input.

I consider myself "fair game". I will always take responsibility for my actions. But please, the minivans full of kids who try to keep up - they REALLY deserve worse punishment because: #1 your vehicle was NOT designed to do this #2 you really doing this with kids in the car?

Just my thoughts. Peace.

Minivans...

My wife always questions me when I point out a minivan trying to play the cat and mouse game with me in the F... She thinks I'm trippin, but I have no doubt - the minivan driver has that thing floored!! LMAO
