Red means hot, Blue means cold (HA! no such thing in Texas!), up is
off, down is on.

Here's the deal: I went form L.A. to Austin, TX last summer, via
I-10. I'm in a primered '70 transporter, have hair down to my butt, and at
the time was traveling with 5 animals. I expected to get pulled over
several times, and even left time for it, and guess what? It never
happened. Even when I went to see my sister in the air force in NM, where I
had to sign a waiver that lets MP's search any time they want to. Talk
about a weird feeling, driving a bus plastered with dead stickers around an
air force base... Been pulled over twice here in TX, cops have been cool,
only ticket they ever gave me was for no insurance. Didn't know it was the
law here... As they say on the TV ads: "these results are not intended to
be a guarrantee of final outcome", but my recent luck has been real good.
Of course, when I do get pulled over, I just let 'em do thier thing, it's
thier job, ya know? I'm clean...

I use 92 or higher octane, 'cuase I get slightly better mileage out
of it. Whether or not it's better- well, I heard it could be; and I've
heard it isn't; but I've never heard anyone say it'll hurt. What's an extra
$.80 per fill-up? ;-) ;-) ;-)
