In my profile on AOL, I have auto racing listed as one of my favorite hobbies. Here’s an email I received. < shaking head > how stupid is this? (edited for name, address and phone number information)
EXCLUSIVE & NEW!!! First time offered
Imagine having the ability to remotely convert red traffic signals
into green, covertly from your vehicle!
How many times have you sat impatiently at a red traffic signal wishing
you could snap your finger and turn your red light into a green light?
Now you can! “Go Box” the size and weight of a small garage door opener.
Works from a distance of up to 100 feet. Same technology used by
emergency response vehicles, and similar technology as seen in the
Hollywood action film “Ronin” starring Rober De Niro, if you missed the
movie it is out on video, then you will have a clearer understanding
regarding the merit of this offer!
This is an exclusive internet offer as the Go Box apparatus is not
available in any store. We will only sell to 10,000, on a first come
basis! Need a compelling reason to order? Consider this… There are over
160 million passenger cars on the road and over 50 million commerical
vehicles, we will ONLY offer 10,000. This is called responsible vending.
Obviously everyone cannot have the ability of the Go Box.
This is more useful than ANY radar detector!
Go Box apparatus is only 69.00, This represents a HUGE price concession!
4 AA batteries are also required for completion. 12 month gurantee comes

Frequently asked questions:
Is it illegal to use the Go Box? As of yet there is no known law regarding
the use of the Go Box. In the future, it is possible that such a law will
be created. Just as some states have banned the use of radar detectors.
Is it immoral to use the Go Box? Perhaps, however this depends on your own
morality. That is why everything we offer is for “educational purposes” only.
