If you want to drive faster than the speed limit than either face the consequences or put up some $$ to get on a track / private road.

You sir are not allowed to bring common sense to this forum.
It is an assumption (large one) that most of the M forum drivers have obtained some of these radar devices to avoid being ticketed for "marginal speeding" (i.e. 5-10 mph over speed limit). In my occupation, any fine or ticket becomes a reportable event and discoverable when re-credentialing for privileges at a healthcare institution...an event that I care to avoid.
Having said that, as an individual who has spent over a decade putting folks back together after motor vehicle accidents, etc., I am entirely sensitive and respectful of your opinion.
At the end of the day, one of the most dangerous activities we perform involves sitting behind the wheel of a "missile" traveling at low or high velocity in the same and in opposite direction to other "missiles" also traveling at low or high velocity.
Be safe everybody.
