You were probably going 81 mph. I live on a highway and that speed is not that uncommon out here for suv's, big pickups pulling motorhomes, semis, you name it. They all go that fast. I found out a long time ago that if you speed you will pay the price. Fighting it is a waste of time. It probably wont even get reduced. Just pay the money and look at the cost of driving. You got caught THIS time but what about all the other times you had that tahoe wound out and didn't get caught for it. I sometimes still speed but I know I may be caught and pay the price. I drove a red supercharged mustang gt for about ten years and had 13 points in about 1 years time. Couldn't keep out of the gas. The only time I gave the cop any flack was a Michigan state trooper pulled me over for excessive noise from the exhaust on the GT. I flat out told him it was staying as installed and it turned ugly. I paid the speeding ticket (passed a car in about two seconds and he was behind me.) I did not pay the excessive noise ticket because I had a friend who was a cop. Took care of it. I drive more respectable lincoln mark 8 now and they are a lot more permissable of that car. Don't give me a second look most of the time when I go whooshing by them in that! I have been let off more times than I have been wrote up though. Just be nice, smile, pay the ticket, move on! Oh, and don't drive 81mph anymore.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
