A post I made in the PCA-SBR forum.

Early Sunday morning we headed to Camarillo Airport to watch the Autocross so I could take some video and still shots. When we got there we were informed by Richard that it would be delayed until next Sunday.

Since we were already out and about, we decided to drive up the coast for breakfast. As we got closer to Santa Barbara I decided...Why not drive to Solvang the back way up the 154. To my amazed delight, there was not one car ahead of us the whole way there. Just after the tall bridge, I noticed a lookout was coming up. I pulled in a noticed a man standing near a truck looking a little weird. So I did a full circle and drove straight out. ( Psycho killer? Who knows. We're going to breakfast) I pulled out and felt...What a nice straightaway. I accelerated briskly up to around 80, when my Escort SOLO S2 went off. KA KA KA KA! I decelerated to around 60 and cruised by a white CHP parked off on a side road.

For the rest of the way toward Solvang and even after breakfast, we must have been saved another 5-6 times. We were doing no more than 80 at any given time, but that machine is my friend. It's not as accurate as the Valentine 1, but it's paid for itself many many times over.

Like my dad often told me..."Always wear protection. It will save you a ton of money." I finally figured out he was talking about Radar Detectors.
