For ~$120 (I don't even think this is a sale price) you can have one installed at your local Monkey Wards, Sears, or other retail chain auto service center. If you are picky about your car you can do it yourself. With one of these things in my car, I almost don't mind NOT speeding :-). All ya gotta do is steer--FORGET the speedometer. -- ------------------------------- Disclaimer: The views contained herein are | dan levy | yvel nad | my own and are not at all those of my em- | an engihacker @ | ployer, my pets, my plants, my boss, or the | at&t computer systems division | s.a. of any computer upon which I may hack. | skokie, illinois | | "go for it" | Path: ..!ihnp4!ttrdc!levy -------------------------------- or: ..!ihnp4!iheds!ttbcad!levy
