I often use a GPS/Glonass receiver and hook it up to my iPad (just like I did at the airline with FAA approved software/hardware) That is a Bad Elf Pro + Here is a screenshot from a trip I made from Berlin to Mainz. This was an Hertz Audi station wagon with appropriate speed rated tires. Not a P car or MB.
It works great in non cell phone coverage areas I frequently go both in the air and on the ground. Glosnass is the Russian GPS system.

A friend knows this crazy guy who hooked up a device that sounds like a machine gun under his hood. He never has an issue with slow drivers in the left lane. I don’t know if this is legal.

After reading this, I'm pretty sure none of you has ever driven in Puerto Cortez, Honduras, New Delhi, India or Seoul, Korea.

Somehow I doubt it's the rap group. Northwest Airlines (NWA) merged with Delta in 2010.

I know a number of guys that would like to hook up a real machine gun under their hoods.

For a buck an hour, it is better to have a local drive you around in India, Korea, and Malaysia/Thailand/Vietnam. Never been to Honduras.

I kept the ID lanyard from Northwest as the bright color is perfect. We did a lot of trading lanyards with our partners and other airlines. I have KLM, Alitalia to name a few. I usually have my blue and gold US Navy lanyard for my Delta ID.
I know some that would buy a competitor T Shirt at the other airline's crew store (United and American) and wear that out on layovers or off time so if you got a little out of hand, everyone would blame the other airline!

I have a buddy who was very proud of his NSA lanyard.
He didn't work there but he bought it in the gift shop there.
of course you can't just stroll in and say " hi, I'd like to buy one of these!"

I only made it to the gate.
