Or Kansas.

“Sure, you could argue that semaphores or trafficators were pop-out and retractable indicators, because, yeah, they sort of were, but I’m talking about post-semaphore, blinking-light indicators, and in that context, the Turbo Titan III I think is the sole car to use them.”

Why do I think that a hard brake at speed would not be a fun experience while driving one of these?

That depends on if you can get the state government to waive their tax on your winnings.

Sure, you can move before you claim your winnings... but don’t expect the state you are a legal resident of on the drawing date to not expect their share of your winnings.

The $513 million they quoted is before taxes.

It rains a lot here in Florida.

You have to deal with both the state in which you purchase the ticket (they take their share and Uncle Sam’s before you get any) AND the state in which you are a legal resident.

For some people, anything is a distraction because they are easily distracted. If the device in or on your car, no matter what it is, came factory installed and is legal in the state the vehicle is registered in, the device is legal to be in or on your car. The cop can have his opinion on what he thinks should or…
