So I did a spurr of the moment purchase Sunday and bought a new radar detector. V1. Just got it this morning still haven't had a chance to play with the settings. Its a solid looking gadget.

I have to run a deposit by him this Friday so he can start ordering parts.. Centerforce DF clutch, JBA shorties, OEM oil pump & gaskets, ARP head studs, etc..

Usually every discussion I see the two favoreds are Valentine V1 and Escort Passport 8500. Escort has a new one out (9500i I think)that adds GPS to it. It has a lot of added features over the 8500 but I still like the 8500. Among other things the GPS marks locations of false alarms and then it doesn't go off in that spot again, I like that but I always hardwire my detectors and put them up by the visor and I didn't think that the GPS would get a signal because the detector is up against the headliner so I stuck with the 8500 for about $200 less and the same performance.

I just don't like wires, so the S2 fits the bill nicely.

I have this one 9500i, I like it but it hasn't saved me yet I don't think. Sure makes me look out for the man when it goes off though 
You know what they say cars that go fast need radar detectors

Why no more detector(s)? Leo, get the front sway bar back on
I don't really speed or anything but I figured it would be nice to have around

congrats tom
I dont have a radar detector, it would be nice to have one, but although my current ride is fast enough to get me in trouble, Im almost always a level headed driver. I do open it up on occasion though.
