[DML] Re: Delorean and Laser Speed Detection

["SweatyEddy" <swetyedy@xxxx>]

I successfully got out of a ticket by arguing that the ionization ratio in
the zinc component of the stainless steel caused accelerated reflection of
the radar beam relative to that of conventional automobile sheet metal
resulting in an approximate +15% error. Aint a lick of truth, or sense to it
but I think the judge just wanted me to shut up. I brought a few charts to
with some non-sensical chemical equations on them. I didn't have as good of
luck when the CHP airplane nailed me coming home from Lake Tahoe!
