When I bought and drove my Z 1200 miles home from Louisiana I bought a radar detector from best buy. It's was $225 and saved my as-s multiple times on the way home. Especially when I decide to top my new baby out lol

I drive fairly aggressive on a daily basis and the V12's havent really let me down. Im feeling more grip after my suspension mods for sure.

probably worth it. I am thinking about snagging one as well.

I'm thinking of coming out to this with a big FOR SALE sign on my car.

:icon14:

I'll look at what brand and model detector i got in the morning it stays in the car at all times lol

Bel rx65 gets good reviews for 299. Might pick one up.

That may be the one I have actually cuz I paid mid 200 I think last June

Cool found it on amazon for 200. I'll do some more research tomorrow.

kind of on topic, does anybody have any good recommendations for walkie talkies for the trip?

Motorola... the 35 mile ones. About 50 bucks on Amazon.

One day closer:excited:

This is the one I just bought: Amazon.com: Motorola MR350R 35-Mile Range 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair): Electronics

Very nice.

Yup, I picked these same radios up as well. For the money, hard to beat.

thanks guys, i'll get these :tup:

We still need to test and see if we can communicate with each other from our apartments. Probably not because of the trees. :icon17:

HAHAHA yes!

Though if it works I am turning my radio off immediately. :bowrofl:

FYI there is some weirdness when selecting channels to work with lower end radios... I'll charge mine to see if I can remember what it is. :P

OH! These have sub-channels and cheaper handsets just use sub channel 1.

:mad:

last cruise we couldn't use 3:70...

had to bump down to 3:38 or something to accommodate the other radios..

I am ready to leave right meow!!

So excited. I cut through last weekend with my girlfriend. She was nervous at first but LOVED it. :) Next to no traffic on the dragon too. We had a couple folks who wouldn't get over but there was so little traffic it was nothing to pull over for a couple minutes to get a gap.

all this talk about this road is really making me want to come down lol

I've got some nice loops planned out. :yum:

Seriously considering a trip this weekend.

Nice! Make sure they don't lead to any of those dead end gravel roads.

Or that damn gravel road Lance took us down.

I think I'ma drink less and explore more this year... :)

Is that possible?

:yum: I was already antsy for ZdayZ to get here... this photo just made it worse :mad:

I'm going to make an effort! :)

Meet me at the dragon tomorrow. I will leave the roofies at home.

Yeah I have been scouting them with satellite and have been researching them pretty thoroughly. There was one that looked awesome from the sky but turned out to be a one lane dirt/gravel road!

The ones I will be taking us on are all marked two-lane roads, so we should be safe!

:tup:

I just realized i completely forgot to call fontana to get on the list for a cancellation FML!

Super Derps are getting installed Saturday morning, and hopefully the springs in the afternoon :(

Sunday runday

That would be one helluva shakedown for the new setup hahaha
