I've learned to instinctively reach for the handbrake when the detector goes
off (no brake lights).  On a related note, a friend from Montana was telling
me about the their views on speed limits:  you get a $5 fine which you can
pay on the spot for "wasting natural resources" and you get a receipt which
is supposedly good for the rest of the day.

Does anyone know how the other mega$ cars make it to the US?  Or are race
cars (for track only) exempt.  How about the Group B rally cars?  There was a
