Let me preface this with: I don't want to start a flame fest here, but...

Maybe it's a local thing, after all, most of you don't have to live near
the guy; you've just got to deal with his software. I sort of resent the
fact that he is "above" the law. After all, can you or I speed across the
local lake freeway bridges in a Mercedes convertible at 90+ with the top
down, at night, wearing fluorescent orange highway cones on our heads???

and get _away_ with it??? (one of the local, well-sourced, rumours)

I think not... :|

I couldn't get away with it in a Radio Flyer, much less a Mercedes or
a 959 Porsche.

YMMV (or HMDV*)
