You will not regret it. V1s saved my license.

If you change your mind afterwards, you can sell it on the used market for close to what you paid for it.

True dat. Saved my ass last night.

This is very true - the V1 is a classic example of the "you get what you pay for" mantra. This thing has saved me from enough tickets to buy at least 3 or 4 V1s now. I will never sell it.....unless Valentine comes out with something better :-)

V1 has saved me and others following me countless times now.

howdoes a passport 8500 compare?

[delatlanta1281]

My brother has the newest passport, and he loves it.

[Kruzen]

You can't go wrong with the newest passport nor the newest v1. My couple of year old V1 that I bought used, a couple of years ago (as in it is probably 4 or 5 years old now) works amazing still. Saves my ass all the time.

If I did not have a V1 already I be tempted to get the new 9500..

I am freaking addicted to the stupid arrows now.

[ldsbeaker]

I wanted a Valentine 1 forever, especially after I read about it in "The Driver".

Then I went and bought a 9500i anyways. I love it. Hasn't let me down yet!!
Cops - zero
Passport - eleventy

Wish I had one back in April...my license would still have 0 points on it! :(

Do it, you won't regret it. It pays for itself so fast too!

where do you guys store these things? I always thought a good place would be the empty battery tray in the engine bay.

I've seen someone put it atop the radio, cut out the space between two buttons. I know theres a picture of Mikes car somewhere...

You won't pickup laser there. And if you keep it in your dash your radar will be off as well.

I keep mine up by my rear view mirror, in between the otp of the mirror and the roof. You can't see it from outside, you can't see it if you're a cop looking into my car from the side since its so low. And it stays out of site.

Mine is mounted on the drivers side visor and is hardwired. works great.
