[DeTomaso] Radar Detector Survey

[Asa Jay Laughton]

That reminds me of the time I was headed back from the coast, in 
somethin' like a reverse Mad Dawg run for beer. . . and coming up past 
Ritzville (you know, where they make the crackers), my Passport chirped 
a couple of times as a Soccer Mom passed me going way over the speed 
limit.  I noticed -her- radar detector, mounted on the window in an ever 
so obvious location, was staying very silent as she continued to speed 
away.  Understand it's mighty flat in that part of the country.

It was almost 10 miles before I came across the State Patrol sting 
operation.  I had become understandably very nervous for quite a few 
minutes; I'd never had a false positive on the detector I could not 
identify.  Just about the time I thought seriously of speeding up, all 
the red and blue lights became visible just over a small rise and around 
a corner.

After that, I always believe in my little Passport detector.
