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! |

Replying to: guss (Dec 12, 2008 6:20 am) Also, with a lot of those old cars, the doors really aren't as big as you might think. The car itself is a mastodon, but the doors themselves probably aren't any bigger than a modern compact. Cars may be smaller these days, but they make the doors bigger for ease of entry/exit. I had a '67 Newport 2-door hardtop...same generation, but a fairly heavy restyle. It had a huge trunk itself, but I think the '65-66 was even larger. |

Not that I would speed, of course  I really don't think the fiberglass did much of anything to the older style X-band radar units. X-band energy is just not attenuated that much by an eight inch of fiberglass. As was said, there's still all that metal behind the fiberglass anyway. Fiberglass and other non-metallic materials attenuate the signal more at the higher frequencies, Ku and Ka, that a lot of the newer radars use. |
