*madmatt* · 12-10-2005, 04:26 AM

Nice shambles. I just dont know if Id trust it, that is what gets most people in trouble imo.

*4.6 Love* · 12-10-2005, 08:06 AM

Radars are overrated.

12-10-2005, 09:03 AM

i dont care what anyone saids, I have had a Cobra radar detector since like June, and it has saved me dozen's of times, since i have had my radar detector i have not got a speeding ticket nor any ticket to add to that. It has seriously saved me a ****load of times.

MattJ · 12-10-2005, 10:42 AM

csledd · 12-10-2005, 11:03 AM

I have a Escort Passport 8500 x50 and I love it, I know everyone says V1 is the best ever bleh bleh but I love my passport, it's saved me a million times also. Plus I got a huge discount on it at work

Hey how did you mount it up there I can't mount mine there, it won't stick to the window cuz of the Pony Emblem.

Shambles · 12-10-2005, 09:19 PM

I gave it a road test today heading down to MD, warned me of two speed traps, and picked up someone getting hit by lazer in front of me!

The suction cups are holding it between the window and the headliner, and my mirror is holding it firm into place. sometimes i have to push it back or push my mirror up to get it back in place. it sits fine otherwise.

Ghostalker · 12-11-2005, 08:26 AM

I have a higher end Cobra model, some say they make better paper weights than radar detectors, but it has saved me many times, well worth the price (~130, i didnt buy it my parents did) and i have it monted very high, with the cord hanging down into my cigarette lighter nearest the shifter... you would think that it is incredibly annoying but i dont even notice it (the wire) is there... only time i got pulled was on vacation three hundred miles away from my mustang, and my radar detector.

The cobra i have has tons of features, train incoming, emergency vehicle incoming (detects strobe lights) laser, many different types of radar, and talks.
Its fun having one, you notice alot more, you get alot of stray signals, such as 'X alert' when you pass by a supermarket with automatic doors utilizing a sensor... or sometimes the sensors at some stop lights. But if you look around when you are driving and an x alert comes on other people will hit their brakes, case they have one too

Shambles · 12-11-2005, 08:17 PM

X Goes off on all radar detectors...luckily I have a filter, so it removes those stupid X-Band alerts.

*madmatt* · 12-12-2005, 04:51 AM

LOL a tad ey? I wish I could justify a 400 dollar radar detector, but my luck, id buy it, and still get a 400 dollar ticket...
