Someone asked in another thread about Radar Detectors and in an effort to not hijack that thread I thought I would post this one. Radar Detector reviews (http://www.radar-detectors.com/)

Looks like another guy selling radar detectors who tries to beat up on the V1 because they only sell direct?

If I remember correctly, the Valentine 1 is the one you recommend, right HH? I ask becasue I think I need to buy a new one as the current one is acting weird.

I haven't bought a new one in awhile (I used to have an Escort and a Bel).
I am just cautious of anyone (like www.radartest.com) with hidden agendas, since no one can make money off the V1 except V1.
Yes, I am happy with my V1.

If you hang around the sports car boards...that's the general consensus. Also, the mags seem to agree every year.

I can't speak for the new Escort, but I do have a V1, and it's a great detector.

I got two I got a cobra which works great for under 150 bucks and I just got this new wireless one I cant remember what its called silver bullet something which I think sucks and the battery life sucks too. So I guess I need to step up to a V1 whats the cost and where can I get one?? :cool:

At least now he does with that big target on his back. :D
Then again, from what I can see, Yvonne does all the fast driving in that family, at least on the water. I suppose on land too. :D :D :D

Dont confuse facts here. I said DONT speed and you wont get a speeding ticket....
If you so choose to speed and get caught, that is on you......and your ins,lic and wallet....
Tickets suck and they are expensive....

I wonder when we should expect the "Don't take pics of your wife and post them on the internet" speech?

I bet the speed limiter on the new Vette is set at 55MPH. :idea:
When is the "Don't ever play naked twister" post coming (all in CAPS, I assume).

Lots of opinions. Both the Escort and the Valentine 1 work well.
