No bobble heads for me. Give me the hula girl! I'll want her to be facing the police as they pull me over.

That could be arranged for an additional fee. We will even offer a talking version to yell out profanities at the cop.

I need concealed Radar Detectors because they are not legal in Virginia and, more importantly, having a RD behind your windshield is a clear indication of your intent to speed, which will push the officer to issue a ticket and the judge to convict you.

I have K40 Calibers in two cars and I love them. I have Bel 975Rs in two other car and they work fine but are now nearing the end of their useful life and will eventually be replaced by K40s. When I rent cars away from home, I use a Solo-2 which is a fine unit.

All of the concealed RDs are unfortunately sniffed by the Spectre III but I have a prototype solution and all I need now is a Spectre III to test it.

Of course the best radar detector is common sense and good eyesight.

I bought the V1 a couple of weeks ago and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it sooner. It's a great product.

v1. Performance I honestly think they each have pros and cons. Im a former X50 owner.
V1 seems like it shows better performance on the highway, which is where I need the most.

Also, once you go with the arrows, you can't go back.

Just put my new Escort 9500i on today. I am going to try it see how it goes. I used to have a Escort 8500x50. That was a pretty good one.
