5KcsTQ Cloaking Device

["Doyt W. Echelberger" <Doyt@nwonline.net>]

I think I have been prematurely aged this year by a few serious speeding
tickets that stressed me and my financial resources more than I wish to
remember. So I have modified my 5KcsTQ with a Cloaking Device, stolen from
the Klingon Nation. This is a report of how it worked for me over the
Thanksgiving Holiday.

I just completed a 150+ mile drive and return trip to grandmother's house
Thursday and Friday. Total of 327 miles. EVERY tiny little village had an
officer or an Ohio State Patrol or a sheriff at the town border with radar
checking every car that came into town. The Patrol and sheriffs were
pulling drivers over on every major highway between towns. Never saw so
many blinking blue flashers.

They were cooperating in a state-wide campaign to slow down traffic and
reduce accidents over the holiday. And it worked, for the most part.  On
the entire trip, I only saw maybe 3 cars and two trucks that seriously were
disregarding the posted limits.

Most of my radar hits were at +4 and dead on. I have been ticketed twice
this year for speeding in Ohio, and after two court appearances, I had
decided to change my driving behavior. So on this trip I was rigidly
observing every posted speed limit by setting my cruise control about 2
miles below the posted limit. It saved me a total of 15 times in this
little 327 mile trip.

I didn't get a chance to form any opinions about them giving BS tickets or
being jerks or if they were doing salary enhancement. In fact, it looked to
me like they were part of an army of law enforcement people that were
cooperating in a state-wide effort to slow down traffic to some standard
posted legal level. And it was a MASSIVE effort.

I got a lot of pleasure out of outwitting them by using my excellent stock
Audi equipment to escape their attention. I have discovered that I can
mind-link to my cruise control and convert it to operate like a  Klingon
Cloaking Device, making me legally invisible to all forms of radar, Lidar,
and even police awareness. In the virtual reality of the legal world, I can
be cloaked by a whole set of laws that say they can't mess with me under
certain conditions.... clearly described by posted signs along the highway. 

When I set my cruise at those limits, I am invisible to all enforcement
officers.

When I think about what those speeding tickets cost me, in after-tax
dollars, this cruise control Cloaking Device seems like one of the best
pieces of equipment on my Audi. With my Cloakin Device on, every time my
radar/Lidar screams, I save about $300!  On this trip, that was  $300 x 15
= $4,500.   Not bad for two days work.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get my hands on the actual
money......maybe I had better investigate law enforcement......a shift to
the dark side.   Hmmmmmnnnnn, a new career?.
