I'm not sure that WRAL could predict the weather 30 mins in advance. It's still supposed to be mostly sunny today w/ spotty showers so I'll still be at the Ale House. Parking down over the hill by Best Buy

Looking like my car might actually ship this weekend. Now if I could just get in touch with Scott to see if he'll be in Atlanta.

Are there any new radar technologies I'm not aware of?

A few weeks ago there was one of those mobile speed detectors that tell you your speed as you pass by out near me. The first couple of days it tripped my detector but, after that, I never got a signal from it, yet it still displayed my speed.

My detector's a 2-year old Cobra, but picks up all the standard bands, POP, etc.

Is there something new?

Maybe some new tech out there... but does your detector have GPS? The ones I was looking at from two years ago had a "learning" feature, where it would dismiss the same signal from the same area if it thought it was a false alarm...

Btw, I think I'll be saying goodbye to the IX on Saturday.

On to less fast DDs... maybe I can get something interesting enough to warrant coming out to the Dragon.

Ferno: sad to see you considering losing the evo. On the dragon all you need is something thats tossable in the corners. Again 40+ is flying on that road so it doesn't take much hp to have fun.

Definitely a sad day. I thought my second Evo would be with me forever... it sucks getting old, life's a beach, etc. etc.

I just need something easier on gas and insurance, and that I care less about getting dinged, damaged, etc. I'll still come to the meets and would've come to the Ale House Sunday but of course, I was working all day covering for someone.

Oh no, not again Jay! You should at least keep it until AFTER the dragon!
