i see that the CHiP up in the bay area is more forgiving than the ones we have in SoCal. 140 anywhere but on the track is considered reckless driving and/or reckless endangerment, which would earn you either some quality time in cuffs on the comfortable faux-pas leather seats in the rear of the CHP cruiser and local jail, plus court time, and more importantly, a nice suspended license for 6 months.

i prefer the $33 method

$33.00 definitely sounds better, especially since it's a one-time cost.

I've got one of those, but a different brand. It came with a warning label:

WARNING! Blower generates hurricane force winds. Do not point nozel towards children or pets. Use ear plugs.

Advice well taken!

I've been told that it's best to get at least a 200mph one for best drying of the car, but who's to say? My shop vac top comes off and turns into a 210mph blower, which works great. The neighbors think I'm wierd, but hey - it's probably true!
