Well, I might not have a Wotbox (yet), but courtesy of the fine folks at Roush Performance, it looks like I will soon have a shiny new Escort Redline radar detector + Escort Live Smart Cord

Just got an email from Roush notifying me I've won their March giveaway

 

Sweet! For some reason I thought you already had one?

 

i'm tempted to do alot of things, but i'm gonna be trading either this winter or just before spring (hopefully) so i don't wanna do any more mods

 

jealous...i want one of those...let me know how it works

 

I have a V1 I've had for quite a while.

 

Thats the crappiest excuse I've ever heard. You've been saying you're going to trade for the past 18 months, and now its out another 9-12 months

Mod it and enjoy it, its $200. Come on now.

Thought so. Did you get rid of it? I know they are the best

 

if there's extra $$ sure, but i'm moving soon so i cant be spending money like that

 

So you're trading it (on what?) and moving soon.

gotcha

 

No, still have it (sort of emotionally attached to it in a weird way, it's never let me down in any way over the years)

The Escort Redline model just received a firmware update in the last few days which supposedly puts the performance on a par with the V1 in most bands, and even superior in some. The Redline also has a ton more techie options like access to an online speed trap database through a bluetooth connected cell phone with the SmartCord Live option.

I'll be very interested to see how the two stack up in real world use. I just got back from the local notary, getting the prize acceptance/liability waiver form completed and sent off to Roush.

Now the wait begins....

 

Anyone need (want) a new (or old) Mustang? Some nice stuff up on Bonnette's:

If not, they're at least some nice car-**** to drool over...
