Well, the long awaited Memorial Weekend is here and we have nothing but severe weather, high winds, tornado watches, hail and rain forecast for the full weekend. Maybe a chance of sun late Monday.

That is just a kick in the balls.:flame: Now I need creative recommendations from everyone on what I can do to make this still and enjoyable holiday weekend. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I hate to hear that. I know that here in St. Louis, we have been drenched with rain for quite a while, but I think that we are getting a break this weekend (at least until Monday). :roller:

I second that. 80 degress here in Chandler tomorrow! Sit outside looking at the GT500, whine about high gas prices, lousy politicians, the economy and order a pizza for home delivery :rocker:

Your friend - Rain Soaked HSURB°Bowling, euchre tourney, build a 3D puzzle after drinking a 12 pack, make a pinata shaped like a Dodge and break it open, play monopoly with real money. Play Doom online. That should keep you busy.

I don't plan on traveling through MD any time soon. LOL :flame:

I just haven't made up my mind on which way to go (built in or portable ) since I have multible vehicles.

I was telling John last night that my Bel STI seems to work very well, my only complaint is I'm not sure how well it works behind me being close to the dash. But last night it showed me that it does work pretty well.

I like the STI because radar detector detectors can't pick it up...important in Va.

I would like to change over to the Installed version so that I don't have to worry about it being seen on the dash.

They now offer it where you can install yourself.

G,
With any of the major detectors, you are going to need a laser blocking device. The Guys of Lidar (www.guysoflidar.com) have a pretty thorough test of radar several different jammers.

Perhaps when you get out of this confused state you will finally realize which color is the fastest. :lol:

I already realize that Blue is the fastest color ...no problem there !
I'm only confused about the things I don't know a lot about like laser jammers but their is no confusion about things I do know about ...like the fact that Blue cars are the fastest.:bump:

Nope.
