radar detector?

I don't leave the house without the v1!

Look at it this way: you buy a junk detector and continue speeding down the highway, not really thinking much of it because you figure you'll get a warning when there's a cop hiding behind the next sign. Except the junk detector fails, you get busted anyways and now you're paying the price of a V1 while still being stuck with a junk detector.

how well do the v1's work?
i usually roll at 85-90 and slam on the brakes hard. usually there's very few cars on the road when im on my way home late at night.
i've had about 7 or 8 close encounters in the last month.
at least 4 times the cop actually pulled out and followed me.
last time i floored it, took a freeway change and didn't see him.
so i doubt im gonna stop speeding, hmmm maybe the V1 would be a great investment....

I got an escort 8500 for like $80 on ebay, hardwired it with a piece of phone cord. Done.

OMG!

anything good for under 100?

I would say V1 or something from escort. Also check with your state laws on detectors. I recently found out that it is illegal to attach anything to your windshield in Ca.

I had that exact one. It is complete fucking garbage. I tossed it in the trash (gave it to my brother for his e46), and bought a Valentine 1 off craigslist for cheap.

Another vote for a V1. Its great, but you gotta pay. Other brand comparable units are still just as expensive.

V1, depending on your state fees, it'll pay for itself easily

K40 make some good stuff.

damn! expensive too. lol

You get what you pay for. Not worth skimping out on a radar detector, get a V1 and be safe.

i thought you were talking about this,

great song.

[devon.818]

i speed a lot on the highway, most often when i get off work late(catering so after 12 or 1). the state troopers out here hide in the shadows like ninjas, I HATE NINJAS!

not looking to spend bookoo bucks, but this looked like a good deal.
says it detects all radar bands.
