i know this has nothing to do with ludes but i wanna know if any luders here have radar detectors and what they think of them. Is there any good recomendations on which one to buy? I'm thinking of getting one and so far i'm set for one of the bell detectors, probably the 980 or whatever the type is.

 

People swear by grandmothers graves by the Valentine. I have a Bel and I love it. Saved my *** more times than I can dare to remember.

 

which bell do u have?
valentine is way too expensive...

 

i have a valentine 1.. i like it..

it tells directions.. haha so that's good. *shrug*

 

how much did u pay for yr valentine?
how does it tell directions? does it have GPS or somtin?

 

he ment it tells which direction the radar comes from. personally i have an escort 8500. its top of the line. id consider selling if i got a high enough offer.

 

why u wanna sell? dont u find it useful?

 

I've given up on radar detectors, I still have one in my car. I had some POS cobra but I got a Belltronics one. Wether you've got a good radar detector or not, you've also gotta have some street smarts and keep common sense in mind.....unless you can afford the tickets. If you see a bunch of break lights go on right before a crest on the road or interstate......there's most likely a trooper on the other side standing out side his car and flagging everyone down (Just saw one trooper take 4 up in Nashville.) Just use common road sense and it'll help.

 

i love it to death. it goes off wayyy before i ever see the cops. im thinking about selling to raise money for my h22 swap. so unless my stock goes shooting up, ill be selling it soon.

 

I have a Whistler 1080 or somehing, but I love it to death too. I've had it ever since I got my license. It's definetly paid for it self over and over in more ways then one. Just don't be fooled into thinking that it's some forcefield or something, or that it is a "cop" detector, cause it's not. It's a radar detecter. From what I've heard the way to go is that and along w/ a radar jammer. Either way you go, if you live in a state where radar det. are ilegal, just get one that has vg2, also make sure either way that it has 360 degree protection. If anyone knows where/ how/more about radar jammers please let me know. Thanks, and I hope I helped
