Concerning the Future and the STI

Just a thought. I live in TX where RD's are legal. What are the chances they would ever be outlawed ? Would it be worth it to buy an STI in case this ever happens in TX ??

In Texas? I would not expect RD's to ever be outlawed in passenger cars in Texas. In trucks, they are illegal, and Texas DPS have a lot of Spectre units that can detect a non-STI RD in use, but you shouldn't be bothered with it (though perhaps, it may influence a "warning or ticket" scenario if you get pulled over).

I'm sure you are right. Instead of declaring them illegal they will probably find technology that will make them obsolete.

It all depends on how much extra money they think they can make outlawing them. But then, you guys don't elect liberals in Texas do you? If they can do it to trucks, they will do it to cars. It's a hard choice. Suppose they did decide to outlaw detectors in Texas, or everywhere for that matter. They might stop making all detectors right away. Then only the people who were smart enough to buy the STi would survive. Food for thought.

Gee, it's a tough one. The Sti is very good, so this alone should be enough to buy one :?

I get a kick out of the Texas officers using their Spectre/Stalcar units to try and catch truck drivers using rd's. Don't we have more important things to be doing then to pick on a truck driver? I use an rd in the truck and feel it's not the GOVERNMENT'S job to tell me I can't use an rd in the truck. LEAVE US ALONE!!!
