Noticed something a little disconcerting today:

It's full on 75° here in Fl but my thermometer shows 66°. :( :confused:
Anyone else seen that?

hummm... is your car moving? since my garage is usually cooler than outside in the summer time i need to drive the car at least around the block to get the probe (thermocouple) to sense the ambient air outside.

well if you get caught speeding 10 over in constructions zone in illinois that usually equals $350+ fine and anything over that may get you arrested. Hitting a worker equals $10,000 fine plus jail time.

I got a ticket for going 27 over the limit when I first got the Z, so I don't think you get arrested for over 20. Even over 30 I think it's the police officers decision if he wants to place you under arrest, but at that point it becomes more likely. Over 35 or something like that, you may be facing license suspension though.

Well I'm going to keep an eye on it and see what happens. :(

Correction new rules as of 2010:
Quote:

Speeding 30 mph in excess of the limit is no longer a petty offense punishable by fine only. Now, a ticket for going 30 mph over the speed limit is a Class B misdemeanor, which has a penalty of up to six months jail and $1,500.00 fine
Quote:

Speeding 40 mph or more over the limit was already a Class A misdemeanor. See 625 ILCS 5/11-601.5. All such offenses carry a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail and a fine of $2,500.00.

New Law Against Speeding 40 MPH in Illinois | No Supervision | Speeding 30 MPH Over Class B Misdemeanor

It happens all the time near chicago where people are coming in via interstates (65 mph) and I94/I90 through the city are 45&55 mph depending on where you are. Many people drive 80 mph on interstates.

Yes, it's moving but it was only a short trip. I think I'll drive around the block to see if it improves.

Yeah a short trip isn't enough time for it to readjust. Usually it takes 10-15 minutes or so for mine get the right temp

The penalty will double if you speed in the construction zone.

Otherwise, 40km/h+ you could be charged careless driving, 50km/h+ you could get your car impounded on site. And they have undercover in any kind of van, suv, compact, in any color.... :eekdance:
