ok, just a question, what is above that inline 5? Almost looks like a sign so they can ID intersections from the air?

And Green 3m's, very sharp!

I like the "Let's see some ...." threads.

As for this thread, despite my disdain for newer stuff, like anything poly, I really, really like 3M and McCain PV signals.

3M at Downtown Detroit. The DuraSig next to it has those screen thingies in the visors, and it is purposely tilted to have the same effect as the 3M. In my opinion the Durasig seems more effective then the 3M.
