This thing is absolutely amazing, I got it last week and Im still in awe of it. Having used the arrows, being in my friends car with a Escort 8500 (a very nice detector) is just not the same. It seems cheap with just beeping. The arrows are like watching a video unfold on the highway. You see cops coming onto onramps hitting people with radar, ect ect. It does pick up a ton of garbage signals though. Meh, it was worth the 400 dollars even though I probably wont pick enough tickets to cover that. I get a bout one a year @ $125 + insurance premiums if they find the tickets. I cant afford another one. this is the worst rant ever.

So its the shit?
That's all you had to say. -

$400 is a small price to pay when you look at the big picture. Consider this: you get nailed by Smokey. Your ticket is ~$150. Lets say you don't have the luxury of going to traffic school so you're stuck with a point on your record for 3 years. The increased insurance premium will add up over time if you do a little math. If the V1 saves you from just one ticket, its already paid for itself.

The only sixth sense you need is common sense.Originally posted by BahnE30to bad these fuckers are illegal where i live, us canucks gotta have a 6th sense, i'd love to have one, but it's not worth it too me if i get busted as the cops will trash them right there on the side of the road.

my dad has a V1 and has had it for about a year now. comes up w/ alotta garbage, but you know when its real and it usually pick up the signal ~1.5 miles away. we've picked up radar form 2.5 miles before.
it gets annoying as hell when someone else w/ a radar detector is near you for a while, cuz it picks up signals from other detectors.
but it has saved my ass so many times.
everyone buy one.Comment

The only protection against laser is a jammer, sure the v1 will tell you when one is pointing at you, but that does no good since the laser reads your speed almost instantaniously.Originally posted by WerksminiIt picks up laser.Originally posted by hamann318isAll the cops in my area use laser now. :(94 325isComment
