I have never owned one and have done just fine.
The instructions that came with mine shoulda said "FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY."

First one, this woman in a black mustang wouldnt get off my tail,
I mean she was staying 2-3 feet off my rear wheel and I couldnt
out accellerate her, so I pulled off on a exit ramp to loose her in
the tight turn, she hung in there, cop was sitting just off the
ramp clocked me 73 in 35, the woman went to jail, all i kept
seeing was me getting hit from behind and being splattered all over
the expressway. Still dont know what her problem was...

Second one was just 2 hrs later 55 in a 50. Just couldnt
catch a break that day I guess.

Havent had another ticket in the last 5 years other than for
no front plate on my '01 Trans Am.
She prolly was looken for a little bit of the motorcycle boy! When the Police questioned her she said she was horny and wanted some of that hunk on the bike! When the word went out over the radio, they prolly decided to nail ya again for being stupid!

You could not pull away from a woman in a Mustang on a 750????

3.a. Never speed during the daylight hours.
4.a. Follow WAY back....
