RE: Radar Detectors
I swear by the Escort Passport 8500. I have had this detector for over 4 years and it has saved my buttt more times than I can count. It's well worth the $300 (probably alot less now), and pays for itself when you have ample time to slow down before a cop targets you. The Valentine One is great too with the directional arrows. Either one will do, but I opted for the Passport because it was $100 cheaper and arguably has better detection.

RE: Radar Detectors
passport, ive had mine for about 4-5 years now and its saved me from more tickets than i can count. valentine is good, but it doesnt have the range of the passports. directional i dont care about, if its beeping at me and i know its not a gas station i slow down. i dont care if it can tell me theres 10 different radars, if i pick one up im off the throttle for a good ways.

RE: Radar Detectors
The V1 FTW!!!!
The V1 does have "POP" detection and great customer service.
The directional arrows saved me again just last night.I was driving home at about 3:00 am and was about to go through a road construction control light.You know,the ones where they leave the lights at each end of the construction zone to control traffic in both directions over one lane.Well there is little traffic on the road at 3:00am so there is no real reason to stop if the light has just changed.
I had picked up the city cop as I was leaving town and the arrow pointed to the rear.I drove down the road about amile and the arrow changed direction just asI was about to run the light.It still read the cop behind me but showed another radar source in front.
I stopped and after the two minute wait,here came a State Trooper car.SAVED AGAIN!!!!!
