Many members have installed Radar detectors and Jammers in their Smarts. Anti Photo Spray is also popular with many people. Do you use a radar detector and what brand? Any stories you would like to share with the group.

Before we could get going we almost got shut down. The CHP takes its roads and laws seriously. Our club members were lucky not to get ticketed and the CHP let us continue. It is always good to follow posted signs and pay attention as you drive specially in construction zones.

Logan how long did it take you to pull your ECU? Trying to get a average figure.

It took me a bit longer because I have custom speaker enclosures that go over the two rear side panels. Once I got the speaker enclosure out it really didn't take that long. I'd say about 10-15 minutes.

I guess we all sometimes fly blind. I just ran into another Smart owner who picked up a speeding ticket. Doing 81mph in a 451. $350 ticket.

We have more and more red light cameras going up. More tickets. I was in Santa Rosa, CA. Every light in town had a red light camera. Big Brother getting eyes.

I was flying Inter 70, Denver to Vail and the cop radared my car started after me but it's hard to catch a 911RS and specially when I was doing 120 and he was sitting on the side of the ramp.
I cannot do blind flying so I use a Radar now.

Say, WHAT? No cdi? Damn! It's what I wanted all along since test-driving a CDI in Frankfurt 10 years ago! Looks like VW is going to get my future business (@#$%@#$).Unfortunately, I can't stand their proprietary B.S., their insane pricing for mainte…
Interesting.... but....

Thanks again.
As a former field service manager in the die-casting industry, I understand your caution with proprietary data.
However, you are way too short on contact info and re-assurance to your prospective customers that they will be able to re…
I hate that! I have that done to me almost every day! Makes my smart look slower than it actually is. Why do people not understand that you have to at least match the speed of the traffic you are trying to merge in to in order to do it safely and ef…

my metro took 19 seconds to hit 60 and was scarey as hell when merging, especially when an A-hole with a 6 or 8 goes slow until the last second and punches it, then you're stuck at 30mph while everyone else is doing 60!
