Coming off base we have those radars on the side of the road that show your speed. It said i was going 15...speedo said 20. In town i saw another...speedo said 30....radar said 25 And i do have stock size tires :-?

but at such a low speed? I always thought it was less accurate at higher speeds. hahah no wonder people are tailgating me through the constructions zones. Oh well, not like they're gonna get there any quicker

Most cars come from the factory with ~5% error slower. I see it all the time in the rallycars after calibrating the rally odometers. Sucks that most people don't realize this and tool along in the hammer lane thinking they are doing the speed limit. Drive faster!

i'm told they make those radars say 5 more than your actual speed so you'll slow down

lmao! yeah those things definately gotta go. But since i'm takin a trip back home in july, i'm gonna hold off on stock replacements till i get back...although i dont want family and friends seeing those hideous things. WTF was the previous owner thinking?? At least he took good care of the car, so i'll let him slide...but only a little
