Okay, I lied… I said the NSX was the last one, oh well!

  This one is not from my own picture, this time.  It is from
the April 1992 Road & Track.  I scanned the picture at such a
high resolution that the printing pattern shows through, but
it is not too noticeable at high-res (ie: my PC is at 1024×768).
I know some of you probably laugh at 1024×768… you work-station-
types!

Enjoy,
  Mark

I was just wondering if the Uniden Stalker radar dectector also covers
Ka photo radar and if it were to cover the whole Ka band (photo and
wide).  The specs. for the Ka band are 34.940Ghz (I think)  and + –
110Mhz.  

Thanks,

`excessively hard’?

lifting inside wheels can happen when you are at the limit; i’ve lifted
the inside _front_ on my Alfa sedan on occasion at lime rock.  lifting inside
rears is commonly seen at autocrosses on VW Rabbits and GTIs of various
sorts; in fact, i’d argue that all the really fast drivers of these
cars in stock form lift the inside rears if they are at all competitive.

are you sure that 2002 lifted the inside _rear_?  i’d expect a front engine,
rwd car to lift the inside _front_, not the inside _rear_.

if you are regularly lifting an inside tire, then that is a message
telling you that you might wish to consider increasing roll stiffness
at the other end of the car (which may or may not be legal in a `stock’
class, depending on where you compete.)

Are there any cities or provinces in Canada where use of a radar detector
is illegal?  My fiancee and I are planning on taking a driving trip this
summer.

What’s this doing in rec.autos.sport? Oh I know, maybe "racial
discrimination" is a loose thread into "Senna bashing"  :-)
You certainly vented your personal frustration into a high
bandwidth "shotgun blast".

And now back to the race that’s already in progress!

Please help settle an argument between two friends:  what’s the best way
to park diagonally on an incline?

In other words, you are driving up a steep grade, and there are parking
spaces set diagonally on your side of the road:

|             /|
|            / | <— Here’s the parking space (there _is_ a curb)
|             /|
|            / |
|              |
|      +-+     |
|      |^| <——Here’s your car
|      +-+     |

How do you park?  Specifically, which direction should you turn the
wheels, and should you leave your car in gear (if it’s a stick)?

        Towards the end of this month I am planning on
travelling from Washington DC to Hattiesburg Mississippi.
Perhaps some of you good folks out their in netland can
recommend roads offering scenic vistas and local historic
sites. I expect to be in no particular hurry.
        Also, I need recommendations on cheap accomodations
in the metro DC area.

Got this messsage through email…

Sounds like a hoax to me… Or someone doesn’t know a thing about how LIDAR
(which actually does exist) works and is confused.

Have fun.

A friend forwarded this to me:

       WHERE HAVE ALL THE MA STATE POLICE BEEN FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS ?

Have you been asking yourself this question? Would you like to know the answer?
Read on:
          In School with a new sophisticated speed measurement device called
the IRD. It is an Infra-Red (heat detection) device that measures speed accur-
ately to .1 MPH. It is a small round device that is being installed in grey/
silver/blue 1992 &93 unmarked Mustangs and a limited number of State Cruisers.
It was rumored to appear on April 1st. First known siteing was yesterday
4/8/92.There is presently NO KNOWN DEFENSE against it OTHER THAN obeying the speed
limit.

Feel free to pass this note around to others as a precaution. Pls strip
my header before doing so. Forewarned is Forelorned.
