I am thinking about buying a 1993 Toyota Camry LE.  Does anyone know what is the dealer
incentives that is being offered by Toyota on Camry LE?  The incentive is
extended thru labor day.  Any other comments on Camry are welcome.

Thanks.

Hi folks,

I will be driving from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas this Labor Day
weekend and was wondering what special caution (if any) I should
take into account.

Being new to Utah (and the wild West in general), I don’t know what
the smokeys in Utah and Nevada use to trap speeders.  I’ve read
in a local paper that SLC PD just purchased a laser gun.  Do the
highway patrols use lasers too?  I have a BEL 635i which detects
laser but I am pretty sure that feature is quite useless beside
telling me that I got zapped by laser + ticket.

Many thanks in advance,

-tt

isn’t it funny that the "punishment" is to take a driver’s course?

if everyone took one in the first place….

Is it illegal in some states to coast in neutral down a hill?

If an idiot who walks across a crosswalk without looking both sides before
he/she crosses and gets run over by a car who is going the speed limit and
just happened not to see that person, who’s fault would it be that the person
got run over?  

I would have to say if you are to damn stupid to look both ways before you
cross any street, you deserve to get run over.  Opinions, please.

If the ridiculous US national speed limit is indeed in place for safety and
environmental reasons, and not just an exercise in raising revenue, both
for government and the insurance industry, why does our government, with
its broad and sweeping power, even allow cars to be sold to the general
public capable of going faster than 65 mph?

I’ve noticed the crowns too. I didn’t know they were air fresheners.

How about the Crystal things that some people hang from their center rear
view mirror.  You can see them from at least a mile away.  Where can they be
purchased.

Ah, yes, aren’t they wonderful?  Never knew they actually did anything so
incredible as freshen the air.

Maybe all these freaky blacks are doin it to symbolize somethin about

I’ve got an older Oldsmobile Station Wagon in which I had the old 4-speed
transmisison replaced with a 3-speed (I was broke at the time, and the 4-speed died…)  I noticed almost immediately after getting the car back from my garage
that it seemed to be going faster than what the spedometer indicated.  A freind

of mine paced me and told me that when my spedometer read 34 or so, I was r
really going about 45.

Last night I was going home from a friend’s house and was speeding (quite
considerably) through a 35 mph zone.  I’m not sure what my spedometer was
reaeding, as I’ve been playing with the dashboard lights and haven’t gotten
them reconnected yet (haven’t been able to figure out the dimmer…) My Laser
detector went off (this was about 4 am, so I was REALLY flying) and told me
I was being pulsed.  So I slammed on the brakes and saw my needle drop to
about 40 (thanks to the streetlight) about the same time the detector stopped
saying ‘PULSE!’ (which, in my experience is about the same time the cop gets
my speed.)  The cop pulls me over and tells me I was doing 57 in a 35 and
writes me a ticket, even though I explained that my needle was on ’40′ not
anywhere NEAR 50, much less 57, and I even showed him the recept from the garage
showing that I had a different transy uin the car, and I attempted to explain
the concept of a spedometer cable running though the transy that could be wrong.
I didn’t admit to him that I knew there was a problem, I just acted confused.

Now my question is this:  If I get a mechanic to verify that my speedometer is screwed up, and that when the cop said I was doing 57, I didn’t know I was,
can I get out of that ticket?  The state is Kentucky, and the county is
Cambell, and I really don’t think that my insurance company (or my parents)
are going to be plesed with that ticket…  I know _I_
am not….

Thanks!
