Went Friday with RamonaC5 and Duke/Earl....returning Saturday afternoon.....mostly K band hits on the Valentine east of Yuma.... They are turning their radar on/off to defeat detectors...
What, no mention of officer friendly and his handy radar, and where are the pics of the ZR1??
Ah yes...80 mph in a 65 mph zone...Quote by officer: "How fast were you going ??" Varmit quote: "I'm told that you are not supposed to admit speed ".....many chuckles....
A written warning was issued....
More pics here...saves my camera battery this way...
Thanks for the pics!!!
I would love to go next year and buy "just one" car!
Any idea how much those Vettes in the pics went for?
The 71 ZR2 War Bonnet yellow (above) went for $325,000..it was one of 12 sold with the ZR2 option at factory....most other 69 vettes went in the $30-$40 K range...
I spent the day there on Saturday, lots of Vettes and a couple great custom Camaros from some builder in Denver Colo. It was a really fun day, of course I liked the Shelbys and Boss Mustangs that went for big money as well.
Rich,did you varmits see anything you thought was a "good buy"?
IMO there were some good buys for some 69 vettes that went Wed/Thurs.($30k range)..we were there Friday and I looked at those but did not see anything that stood out as a "good" buy on Friday......but Friday there were three cars that were outstanding customs from Tenn...a 55,56 and 57 chev's...all black and very professionally done..but they went from $135k to $165 K...

Varmits were lucky!AZ gov.(HAG)plans to make up 1 billion budget deficit with state wide radar&speed enforcment!

I was fooled by the intermitant K band. He must have been using an instant-on gun. I usually ignor K, at least in CA. From now on I only ignor X band. The policeman could tell we were Varmits, and felt sorry for us.
Every Arizona policeman, in the southern half of the state, was on our route. Did someone post our departure time?

Lack of short term memory, what can I say? We were in a vehicle with a 97 mph top speed. I have never been so hassled in my 198 mph vehicle. I guess I just get complacent.

Nothing like going 97 on cruise control with the seat warmers on....
