what up guys!!! so friday after work i was comming home and i see this green mitsubishi 3000gt. i prayed it wasnt the vr4 because i wanted a good race lol. so blah blah i pull up next to him at a light we cruze at 30 after it turns green i punch it in 2nd, as does he, then in 3rd. it was a pretty good race. NEXT day...im driving west on a main street called "tieton" and 3 blocks and a hill away from 46th. my brandnew V! starts to pick up something... it was in an area i drive through everyday so it got my attention. once i hit the crest of the hill the thing goes crazy. so im chilling at the light at 46th (the radar detector is still going off) i drive 10 more blocks and finally find a cop sitting in a parking lot with his radar on. I WAS SO PUMPED i was supprised that i picked him up so far away, especially over hilly roads. i could probably make a product review for anyone that wants one. i also went boating this sunday too. that was fun but im super sore. wakeboarding and tubing. anyway sorry for a somewhat pointless thread. later guys

No. Nice post. The V1 is clearly the best - that dude used to work for Escort

How much is the V1? i should get a radar detector but there usually a little much for my wallet. Ive heard good things about the V1

i think around 4 and a half(hundred, not thousand)

I have one and love it. (currently scheming up ways to mount it hidden and tap into the computer for a digital output on the screen... difficult but not impossible)

I think this best belongs in car electronics, since it's mostly about the v1.

Thats why I got the Escort X50 Blue....blue at night....oh sooo awesome!

That, and I love blue.

Ok, I'm now convinced that the V1 is the best. I'm going to sell my X50 blue and....looking to get the new V1 sometime soon.

So yeah, get the V1. It's the best.
