[s-cars] valentine one placement

Paul-

I have the high mount, agreed with your laser points,
but I would rather have it stealth.  When fully engaged
in high speed driving, my attention is on the road and
all the 'potential' traps I know of, you cant just rely
on the detector.  Connecticut is one of the strictest
states, my weekly run to CT encounters at least one
Statie using a handheld on the side of the road, sitting
ready to jump back into his pursuit Camero for the
chase.  Dodged it the other day, he did not even laser
me...it must be the wagon thing, who speeds in a wagon??

The strangest thing for the Boston Locals is the
abundence of Laser false alarms I now get near the
airport and the big dig, I am not sure why or where they
are using the laser, but its every time I drive downtown.
