i wouldn't doubt it. each day, i see several people run red lights @ fairly high speeds for surface streets, like 60+ mph. it's gotten to the point where they're installing red-light cameras @ the major crash-prone intesections in an effort to catch the runners. FWIW, i always check the intersection before proceeding. here's an interesting stat for y'all: 88% of all collisions in AZ occur within 100 yards of an intersection. let's be careful out there, & *extra* careful around intersections. gears, ye wilde ryder -- wallace@... 99 zx-9r "blue bayou" 98 vtr-1000f "stormy" zwallace@... 86 cr-250 "dirt devil" 00 sv-650 "zipper" "& you were using your friends as a berm." -- RP 83 v65 magna "nasty" FoJ#002...AMA#456832...JHLO#002...COP#000...CCS#SW969...Support the RKBA

You'd also have to go some to get something with a trunk the size of a Fairlane's. My dad had a 67 and I remember trucking a load of kids inside and another 5 kids in the trunk (open of course) hangin out riding the two miles to the lake... Thanks, that was a good memory...
