tried to emulate that photo, need to go out and do it again, and bring the photo this time. i took most of these on top of the five story parking garage in hillsboro.
i think this one is my favorite that i took today. i also like the one of the sail panel bird a lot.

Looking really good Tony. I love a nice-looking black f-body like that.
BTW, am I seeing one of those speed-trap plate covers?  |

i have never received a speeding ticket in the car, but i don't think it's due to the plate cover.
the idea of this one is that radar/lazer will not reflect off of it, well guess what, despite common theory radar lazer can bounce off the rest of your car as well. so i don't think it does much.
it is also supposed to make it so that the red light cams can't see your plate, well you can SEE how well that works  |

There's a famous one hiding in the catacombs of the server that has us both holding two glorious $427 street racing tickets. _________________

Eek! Thats a pretty hefty fine.
I heard that if you go over 125 the reaction time of the speed camera will be slow enough that you will be out of the shot before the camera can snap a pic. Wanna test that philosophy out, Myth Buster Tony? lol. _________________ E30

Myth busters tested that one didn't they?
I know the british show Top Gear tested. While they never ended up out of shot, when they tested with the Lambo, they did find that at 185mph, the camera never even went off. |

Now how would you know that?
Tony, when are you going to get some lowering springs on that GTA man? Looks like it's riding a bit high. |
