<VV> More on this Re: GPS's (NO corvair)

[FrankCB]

Bryan,
     Yes, but MY GPS is a LOT easier to "turn off".  And permanently terminating my relationship with MY GPS will cost me a LOT less than yours will.  On the other hand, yours is undoubtedly a LOT better looking than mine is and mine doesn't make dinner, either!  <GGGGGG>
     Since I'm never late for work any more, I don't worry about exceeding the speed limit.  And having to pay for my own gasoline is reason enough to keep the speed economically moderate.

My GPS also has a female voice, and she doesn't let me ignore her

"I told you to turn right, stop arguing with your navigator." 

We won the rally :-) 

Seriously, the speed alarm might get me to buy one of these newfangled   
electronic devices you speak of.  Up until now, the last thing I   
wanted in a car was *another* female voice telling me where to turn.   
OTOH, #3 son is pretty good at informing me when I'm exceeding the   
posted speed limit "Dad, you know the speed limit here is 55, right?"
