(if I get at least one vehicle in shape... ordered alternator and a/c compressor for the '91 300D... still hoping the '91 GW will escape from centralia and may have to take the '99 GC to get a new xfr case chain...) anyway, was looking at the Garmin GPS 18 sold at costco for $99 and saw this notice... (what if I'm from out of state driving through????) NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice.
