This is a doodle I made during my first year at College studying graphics design.
(excuse the spelling mistakes)
This was based on the episode of Mythbusters where the junior team tested out various ways to evade the radar speed trap.
They covered the hub caps with tin foil (then the whole car), then painted the whole car with matt black paint. They used flashing LEDs around the number plate. They attached magnetrons from microwave ovens on the hood.They hung reflective objects from the rearview mirror (such as CDs, keys and a disco mirror ball). They even tried a shun gun (an air cannon full of pieces of foil to create distracting reflections in radar signals (they were used for real on planes during World War II)). The only thing they tried that did affect eh signals sent out by the radar gun (sightly) was a device of their own invention (called "The Wheel of Death") that was placed on the roof (the picture closely matches it).
The car pictured is meant to match the 1970s Cadillac Elderado they used on the show.
