so, how legal are they, how well do they work and what would be the best one to get? cus, i'm about to buy either a subaru BRZ, honda s2000 or a mazda rx-8 and im going to drop an ls1 in it, whichever i get and i feel like i will get waaay too many speeding tickets. also, will a radar detector work in combination with a scrambler?
They're legal in 49 states in the US.
Exception being Virginia. Nobody cares about Virginia because it's a shithole flyover state.
>>15119114
Actually misread, scramblers are illegal in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, or Virginia.
Being caught using a radar jammer commands a federal offense.
LIDAR or laser jamming on the other hand is legal in most states.
Quick! You're going on a road trip with friends/family and you're designated as the driver.
What are your passenger rules and roles?

people think shotgun gets to pick the music, bullshit. The driver gets that privilege.
Now climate control, that's something they can keep tabs on

Does anybody else feel trapped by their loan/financing?
Does anybody else feel like in hindsight, going with a new car was a bad idea?

How often do you fill up your gas tank? I normally do it when it's half tank. Anything lower makes me nervous.
>>15116423
1/3 is my limit. But I drive a 2.4l I4 cuckmobile so I dont have to fill up that often.
>>15116423
I fill up when it's 3/4 full. Because I can.
Once a week. About 200-250 miles

I took mine in for an oil change, next morning flat tire. Could they have let the air out on purpose to bring me back and try to rip me off?
I'm a depressed shut-in and car illiterate.
>>15112485
Why would you go back to a repair shop with a flat instead of going to a tyre shop?
>>15112485
Sounds like you need a bus pass and not a car.
They would have done something to your engine not your tires
You most likely just got a nail in your tire
