Foreman, owner of Eastover Auto Supply in Oxon Hill, also coated the plates of his eight delivery trucks. He says they previously drew $1,200 in photo-radar fines but none since the application. And he has had no complaints from customers who have bought about 700 cans of the spray at his shop. “If it didn’t work, we would’ve heard about it,” he says.Furman Eldridge of Cheverly bought PhotoBlocker a year ago as “a defense mechanism.” He has enough faith in it that he says he gave a can to his pastor.”I’ve always been a law-abiding citizen,” he says. “You don’t want people speeding, but I don’t think it should flash you if you’re just going five miles over the limit.”

Ford, General Motors & Mazda Team Up With Apple To Deliver Seamless iPod Integration – Cars – Blogs.ca

I rented a dodge charger about two months back and it had a built in port where I could plug in my ipod. I was usrprised and very exctied. It was very cool and worked great.
So when I turned in my car I had to go back to using the “tape to ipod” soultion. You know the 20 dollar tape you plug into your tape deck and it has a cord you then plug into your ipod. yes I know very low tech. Well my next car will have both Sirus radio built in and an ipod port.
