Radar detector!!

Re: Radar detector!!

Not to be a Debby Downer but I think they're a waste of money, spend your money on a girl or more detailing supplies!

If you got the need for speed, do it out on the track, or do it on a stretch of road where your the only one on it so that you only take your self out. I've seen enough misery due to speeding to keep me up some nights, I guess they don't show graphic videos of accident scenes anymore in driver's ed classes.

Sorry, but this strikes a bad nerve for me.

I completley uderstand and respect ur opinion. I dont plan on going out on the road and doing 105+ mph. Ive been there and done that. Remember when I was clocked @ 94mph in a 70 mph zone. I dont wanna be in that place again. I more or so purchased it to be more aware of my surroundings. So if I do decided to do 70mph in a 60 mph zone, i decrease my risks of get ticketed. I dont plan on zooming like I used to Speed kills, and so does being idiotic. When i was pulled over, I was running on a 2 lane interstate @ about 100-105 mph with VERY little traffic, was it stupid YESS, probably the stupidest thing ive ever done with my vehical. I dont plan on it again...it was also stupid to do it by myself. The only car on the road running around 100mph on a sunnny day, DUH THE COP IS GOONA GET ME...and he did. So i got a detector to be more aware of officers and if i ever do speed by a few mph, i kinda makes the game a little more fair...

Re: Radar detector!!

price ranger was between $275 and $350

U cannot get a new Valentine for $199. I paid $249 for my bel.....Do u have a V1?

Where did $199 come from? $400-$350=$50. Either way, I misread it earlier. I thought you were asking for opinions before you bought one, not after. Nevermind it.

I have no need for one, especially after riding in a vehicle that was clocked doing 85 in a 65 with nary a sound from the Valentine unit. We were caught by a bear in the air.

If your city has red light/traffic cameras guess what revenue enhancement they'll foist upon you next in the name of "traffic safety?"

Here in Mordor, er Illinois we have iPass on the tollways. Ipass is an electric transponder that identifies your vehicle so the tollway can deduct your toll from your account. When you go through a toll plaza they know to the second what time you did and they will know to the second the time you go through the next plaza. Simple mathematics will tell them the average speed necessary to travel this distance. Mordor is darn near bankrupt, so any day now one of our wonderful politicians will realize there is a pot of gold waiting to be tapped and the fanciest radar unit will be obsolete.


Of course this is just MHO & YMMV.

So after my ticket in April. And after I got some birthday money. I decided to get a radar detector. So ppl love em and some ppl hate em. I looked at the Passport 8500 X50 and the Beltronics RX65. The RX65 won my decision battle. I plan on hardwiring it and ordering an aux speaker. Can wait to put it in my car. Anyone have one? Please leave your feedback.....This is my FIRST one! My price ranger was between $275 and $350, (so no GPS units were looked at)...Thanks!
