I just got pulled over in Georgia a couple of days ago for doing 88 in a 65. I also have a cdl and wanna know whats the best way to keep it off my DL. Im from Texas and was on my way to Florida and got caught in a mini van at 3am lol.

I was just in Best Buy last night, and I noticed they had one that remote mounts in the grill.

Best Buy had it for ~600-700

Check around on the interwebs, they have it for around $~550.

I would look online for one of those ticket lawyers, that way you don't have to go back to Georgia for a Court Date, and they *usually* can get the points knocked off, and you just have to pay for court costs and fines.

Everyone know's GHP doesn't mess around. As soon as you get near the borders, you drop your speed to exactly the limit, and stay that way till you get near the center of the state, or follow a tree-shaker.

That's the one I have (see pics linked above). I love it. I got it for $525 shipped from ebay. Very easy install. I got the laser diffusers from Amazon for about $275 (had a gift card), normally about $350. You do *NOT* need to buy the diffusers at the same time. The diffusers plug right into the antenna that's mounted in/near the grill. It would be SO EASY to add them later & require no extra cable runs to the dash/firewall.

In fact, looking at where my diffuser is in relation to my antenna, it's maybe two feet. You can see all the extra cable zip tied up to the supports.

Yeah the Ga cops are NO JOKE.....I was making my weekly trip to Knoxville which includes a 17 mile strip of Ga which obviously they dedicate a GSP Charger to 24/7.....Made the first 2 hours through Bama @ 85 or so with a Jetta on my bumper. I crossed into Ga and backed down to 70ish...Jetta blows by with fartcan blaring and tips his hat......About 4 miles up I see Jetta guy out against the trunk of his ride with ole smokey taking a look in the front seat.....Crazy thing is that you are encouraged to drive 30mph over in Atl or you WILL DIE!

DAYUUUMMM....That is CRAZY...I'd have to pull the Glock 40 out on that one. I bet there were some PISSED off drivers on that day. Atl work traffic starts @ 4 am and lasts until 11pm anyway.
