Seriously? Does it have the woodgrain? If you or your father ever decide to part with it, would love to have one for my 1972 Ford Thunderturd. The complete nostalgia trip, 8 track and a squawking CB... we gotta a 10-99 on the loose.... 10-4 big buddy.

edit: never mind.... found all sorts of them on fleabay.

Even when I'm only going 4 or 5 over, I still want to know when they are around running radar.

On the interstate I get away with 10 mph over and no detector.

That Escort live looks tempting... is there a monthly fee for the smart phone app?

If I was still making the trek to Vegas a couple times a year I would scoop one up.

Or a trip up I-5 to S.F.

However as I become more mature road trips are becoming less alluring...
