So how many speeding tickets have you gotten so far?

[Edmond]

Yes it is OT, but sometimes we do get OT.

Well Hank, you went to alot of trouble there. But it still does not change what is important, emblem or no emblem. {der}

Every time I share new info in this forum I am attacked, and usually because I don't necessarily conform with the crowd. So why would I continue to share information? Why. would. anyone.

 

[HankLloydRight]

I wasn't attacking you, just providing alternate information to what you presented. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim about the Mitsubishi Zero and the logo? I hadn't heard that one before. The explanation on their website seems to make sense.

p.s. wasn't a lot of trouble, took about 3 minutes. There's a great rich history of the VW emblem, but I couldn't find any official VW web page with that info.

Was stopped for 42 in a 25 mph zone the morning after delivery. But I think he just wanted to see the car, 'cause I didn't even get a warning...

Yes the official line for Mitsubishi is the flowers etc, but I have to agree w Edmonds here, I think it was a secret homage to their zero past. Looks too much like props to me too. Off topic...

Also Stanley Kubrick directed the moon landings, and jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams.

Still off topic (sorry), but according to this site: The REAL Meaning Behind 11 Car Company Logos

The Mitsubishi logo comes from the family crest of Yataro Iwasaki, founder of shipping company Tsukumo Shokai, and the family crest of the Yamanouchi family, from the Tosa Clan. The crests were three chestnut leaves and a three oak leaves, respectively, also arranged in a three-point fan.

The logo has been used since the 1870s.

And according to this site: History Of The Mitsubishi Logo, 1870

At first (1870), three diamonds represented a ship's propellers. Mitsubishi was started as a shipping firm.
Then it was redesigned and now diamonds look as diamonds.

So of course there's similarities between a ship's props and a plane props, but the logo came first.

edit to add: Here's a photo of a pre-war Mitsubishi car with the 3-diamond logo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...itsubishi_PX33.jpg/1280px-Mitsubishi_PX33.jpg

And of course, since it's on the internet, it has to be true, according to this guy:

Very nice HankLloydRight! Excellent research, you're right! Kudos, I've learned something today!

9500 miles and counting, none so far...far easier to obey the speed limits when driving used in conjunction with TACC and Autosteering. Never had any issues whatsoever, unless you deliberately choose to ignore those traffic laws.

I use this:
View Waze Incidents on the Tesla browser

Solves the problem of curves and hiding places...

Really, that is awesome! My brother-in-law told me about Waze last month but i did not realize I could get it through the Tesla browser.
Now I'm going to have to try it out...Thanks!

Only one in 90,000 electric miles, and it was before I installed the 9500ci detector.

 

[RogerHScott]

Hmmm, so are you saying that you have never had a speeding ticket while driving any car, ever?

39 years of driving and not one, ever. And no, I don't always stay at or under the limit -- by any means.
