]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> @Hyman Decent: Admittedly there are some cars on the road, but no, I don't consider 114 on an open highway to be an obscenely high speed. It's not as if people in different parts of the world haven't made speeds like this work for many years; and before you start on some diatribe about Germany being a very different place, keep in mind that Montana isn't. every year that Montana had no set speed limit on highways the fatality rate on those highways went down, now that they have limits again, the rate is on the climb. The 65 zone is artificiality, the car is perfectly capable of that, and as for the traffic, well, LA never sports freeways that deserted, so maybe my perspective is skewed.
They're our roads, and our cars... and it's our money the state is taking for laws that have been brought into serious question by study after study as being dangerous and wasteful. If you think that camera is about anything other than money, think again.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> @bruxell: Quickly? That's about as big an understatement as you can make. The photos show him going 100 and 114 in a 65 zone. Safely? I'm not sure about that - the car's 42-year-old American iron. (Maybe he upgraded the suspension and brakes.) Empty? Don't you see the other cars in some of the photos? Middle of the night? The time stamp on the photos is 8:2x PM.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> @LotusGrrl: I think it's very sad that these cameras are on the highway now. CHP/State Troopers have been turned into nothing more than privateers/highwaymen to state general funds in recent years, and now cities and states have got the damn robots enforcing their mis-guided, dangerous (but highly lucrative)speed laws. This will not stand man, this aggression will not stand!

Also, let me express my gratitude to my fellow Jalops. If and when this blurb appears on Autoblog, it will be full of nothing except kowtowing expressions of outrage at the very idea of using a car to travel quickly and safely on an empty highway in the middle of the night. No one will say anything about how bitchin' that Nova is... and it is bitchin'.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> It appears as if Mr. Earl Simmons, AKA DMX, has had a few other driving-related snafus in the last several years according to the all-knowing Wikipedia.

[en.wikipedia.org]

Also, I think instead of having "DMX" on his windshield, he should've put "Earl Simmons." A much better ring to it, don't you think?

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> Arizona is a scummy state for tickets (and overall too in my opinion, but others may like it so that is neither here nor there).

The interstate has a posted speed of 75, and at 85 or more, they can, if they want, tag you with the felony charge of excessive speed and send you to jail. Most states rely on the 25 over the speedlimit rule before making it excessive speed and applying harsher penalties.

I guess they have to slow people down so they can't leave so quickly.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> @LotusGrrl: The INDOT site says that these cameras are for traffic density monitoring only, and they aren't detailed enough to pick up plates for ticketing. I tend to believe them, since you can see what traffic looks like here. I haven't figured out what the little flat panels are yet, but they're sure putting up a lot of 'em!

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> DMX is totally insane. Yeah he was arrested for carjacking in airport parking lot. This is right after he made a million plus from one of the jet lee movies he was in. He's been arrested for smoking crack multiple times as well. But he does love his cars.

Even if you're ridin' dirty, ride in style.

thatguy01

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> Didn't DMX get busted a few years back for impersonating a cop?

He tried to confiscate someone's car at the airport or somthing claiming he was an FBI agent I thought? He basically carjacked someone.

He's appearantly not a stable type of guy. Cool car though, minus the rediculous self promoting sticker of course.

All the cars in the driveway are pieces of crap too, the town actually forced him to get many of them off his front lawn because they got so many complaints. His house is also a very ugly electric blue color and everyone knows it's the ugliest house in the area.

Let's hope for him he meant that.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> @LotusGrrl: i'm going to be driving around most of the Indy on 465 tomorrow... (later today... whatever) i'll have to keep an eye out for those... haven't noticed them in the past...

though i don't mind a bit more speed control on 465... i think the whole indianapolis mindset of "big concrete ring meant for cars---- RACETRACK!" is a bit excessive... yes... i've done my share of speeding around it... but when avg. traffic is moving at 70+ when posted speed is 55... i think that's a bit much...

i also drive a tiny little car that doesn't like to go much over 65.. so SUVs buzzing past and changing lanes randomly w/no signals tend to bother me a lot

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> Who cares, the Nova is cool and all but DMX is a total scumbag. He's currently under investigation - once again, I think - for alleged involvement in a dogfighting ring. He doesn't deserve this much of our time.

]]> <![CDATA[DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> Does anyone else think it's sad these cameras are on the highway now? Around 465 here there is a camera every half mile now. They are just little dome cameras, can these get your plate? Also, does anyone know what the whiteish panel antenna looking things are they are putting up just as many of? If those are some sort of speed sensors that would suck! You should at least have a sporting chance if you decide to wind it out every once in awhile.
