Here's a stealth legend that maybe ya'all can debunk or prove for me - I heard years ago that the 69 style Stingray Corvettes are almost invisible to radar, because there's no metal body, and the radiator (which hides the engine block) is angled backward. So.... the story goes, the radar reflection doesn't go back to the radar gun but bounces off towards the moon. True? Or wistful thinking?

Replying to: lokki (Dec 11, 2008 3:08 pm) Actually hit a radar trap in Arkansas one day. The big discs hauled it down really quick, and as I went by I could see the deputy pointing the gun and shaking it. A buddy who was a cop said they were tricky to get a lock on, especially if you were hard on the brakes. He would pull one over just to let them know he knew they were speeding, even if he couldn't prove it.

Replying to: boomchek (Dec 11, 2008 7:50 pm) Or some cheesy made-for-cable movie, like that one with the child molester in the black '69 Charger terrorizing the short-bus driver. "Wheels of Terror", or something like that? I actually kinda like that car, although the "ran when permanently parked" part doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. If I could see proof that it could move under its own power...and you could clean it up without it falling apart on you, I'd be tempted to give it a spot in my yard. Well, if it was free! |
