    Default Girlfriend got the first LI save! :mad:

    I have only had my new LI installed for two days or so. I had explained a little of it to my gf and she asked about the legality of it and I told her the whole try not to JTG and that it can be turned off, etc, etc.

    But I never got around to showing or telling her how to use it. I never told her there is a switch and where I (temporarily) put it.


    So yesterday morning my gf takes my car to the store. There is a 2-3 mile 30 MPH PSL road that everyone does 45-50 down and LEO is barely ever there. It is heavily landscaped so there are A LOT of places for LEO to hide.

    Anyways, my gf calls me freaking out saying that she was doing 40-45 and the V1 and LI started freaking out, then she saw a sheriff shooting her. She said she didnt know how to turn it off and there wasn't much time any ways, and she saw the sheriff looking at his gun like WTF. Then when she passed he shot her in the back. She had stopped at a store to call me to tell me and ask how she could turn it off.


    I have the LI with Escort speaker turned up pretty loud so I know it must have scared the crap out of her.


    Im glad she didn't get pulled but Im kinda pissed I missed it. Seeing the LEO shaking his gun like WTF is one of the main reasons I bought the LI!

    Hopefully his line of thought does go, "Hmm, I couldn't get a reading in the front, but I did in the rear...maybe I should start shooting the rear more..."

    Would have been more priceless if you had rear heads as well.

    Same thing with my girlfriend, got shoot by a Prolaser3 and did not know how to turn it off after I pointed out where the kill switch was everytime I drive her car. She told me she got hit around 600ft and the cop slapped his gun and shot her in the rear Its not fair, I deserve to see the cops slap his gun. I never once JTG with my LI. Maybe once with the ZR4 but thats a diffrent story.

    I'm really not sure what you guys are thinking letting girlfriends/etc drive your vehicle without either:

    a) completely disarming your LI

    or

    b) COMPLETELY training the driver how to use the equipment!



    Seriously, you guys should know better. What's worse is that this could come back to bite you in the ass. That cop gets readings within a second or two on every single car, and here comes a "big honkin cadillac" and is somehow completely invisible to their laser gun.... until they shoot the rear.

    Then, they target other cars and it's back to instant readings. smaller, darker cars... HMMMM

    If you think they completely forget about the encounter, think again. I assure you that SOMETIMES these LEO's discuss this sort of thing with their buddies. And they notice it occasionally too.. and it's always people they "swear were speeding" that they miraculously couldn't get a lock on. Or, if you live in a smaller area, they might even start to REMEMBER the CAR.

    This is very, very, very bad. Be careful, please. If shifters carried the same penalties as r.dar j.amm.ers, our favorite hobby would be MUCH less fun.

    Just my .02

    I make my Fiance' drive the Vette during the tests so she's used to the alerts and knows how to kill the jammers.

    Not that I have to twist her arm to drive the Vette for these events, the trouble is keeping her from smoking the tires and making high speed runs at Rsatmans.

    Then if M6D is there they want to take turns at who has the best burnout!!!
    Valentine One (3.858 Ice Cream Truck, 3.812 in Vette)
    4 Head LI (On Vette) (7.11 CPU Regular heads front, HP Heads on the rear)
    9500ci (On Vette)

    LI Quad (On Ice Cream Truck)

    LI Dual (On SRX, 7.06 CPU)

    ProLaser II, ProLaser III, Stalker LZ-1, LTI Marksman & Laser Atlanta "R" (looking for an Ultralyte LRB)

    2008 Corvette Z-51 Coupe

    Escort 9500 ix (Cadillac SRX)
