    Actually, yes. Today I was heading toward the beach (Ponce Inlet) and picked up Ka about a quarter mile away around the bend. I wasn't speeding much but it was a strictly enforced 35 zone.

    My friend (w/o an RD) was driving in front and would've been caught had some cars not pulled out in front of him. Some of my other friends were caught about 15 minutes later and one was issued two citations!…one for speeding and another for not wearing her corrective eyewear (she was even in her Air Force blues…he must've not liked the military much )

    Once I realized that the rear-facing sensor of my X50 was for laser and therefore essentially useless, I moved up the window mount to the very top. Now it's hidden much more than before.

    It's a trip computer, a scan tool, and a digital gauge. It connects via the OBD II port.

    Very nice setup. I like where you put the mute button.
