Nice work on Round 3!!! Success!

Is that some sort of radar device on your front license plate? I've seen similar things before, usually on the front and rear. Or maybe a broken license plate frame...

I've thought about radar detection, but don't really need it in Southern Cal. Could have used it in Oregon last winter...got a ticket for going 59 in a 55.

No, it's my EZ Tag for zipping through the toll booths on the few tollways that weave through Houston. I don't know if they have it in Southern Cali, but it's the equivalent of FasTrak up in the Bay Area. Most people around here have stickers on their windshields, but I liked the idea of something I could remove with a screwdriver instead of GooGone and elbow grease.
