Not sure what to make of this. I don't really speed on the bike (I don't really speed in the Subaru, either), but it would be nice to know when one of Fairfax's finest was sitting behind the next bend. I'm just not sure exactly how I'd manage to ride safely and pay attention to my radar detector. Seriously, if you're going 100 on a bike, are you really checking for blinkies that say "zomg dragons"?

That having been said, I like.

They can hook it into your olfactory senses, every time there is a radar ahead you smell a pork product of some sort...

Do you think anyone would notice with the myriad other thingies currently stuck to windshields, etc? I know on my bike there's enough weird shit "under the hood," a cop would be hard pressed to differentiate a radar detector from a whatsit.

I should get a bumper sticker for Sandy's car that says "Hey FFXPD, c'mere, I wanna slap a bitch." It would go great with her plate.

OK, that's almost as funny as the bacon comment. I can't resist the bacon jokes.

i'm actually kind of afraid to drive the car with the plate. i mean, aside from the whole four-wheel aversion thing lately... but with a cute asian chick at the wheel it's not as... menacing as if it's some ogre. i'm just waiting to get pulled over and have to explain what the plate means (if he doesn't already), and then explain that while the car is titled in my name, it's her car, and it's funny, and i really didn't mean for him to foad. not really. honest.

but she's very pleased with it, so, eh, i'm not gonna complain until i get into another fucking fight in an intersection.
