Escort 8500 x50 same thing as the 8500 just updated I guess. Works real good.. expensive but like everything you get what you pay for.

Aren't these radar detectors illegal in the first place? Don't waste your money on a cheap one if you get one is my advise.

No all the radar detectors they have been said are only illegal in 2 areas. I think one is Washington DC and I can't remember the other place I think its on the east cost as well.

They are illegal in Illinois too. But to all you retards who say dont get a v1, dont know anything about them.

Now youll say "oh my brothers cousin has one" and frankly, you dont, so your ride in his car doesnt give you a legit opinion on the performance of a v1.

My v1 has caught a state trooper over 4 miles ahead in a hilly but straight area trying to bust speeders. Anytime id get near the top of one of those hills, it would go crazy and there is nothing but farm so it couldnt be a false reading. Id like to see any walmart radar detector that you guys are suggesting do that because fact of the matter is, it wont. Multiple test and trials have PROVEN that the valentine 1 is THE BEST radar detector on the market, hands down. It is also upgradable so you have the latest radar detector with the most protection compared to ANYTHING else on the market without having to go out and buy a new one every time.

Plain and simple, its get a valentine 1 or put yourself more at risk. Mines paid itself off plenty of times.

nah i live in illinois they are for sure legal if you live in illinois and don't have one you are one of the few... Because drivers from illinois rarely go the speed limit

"The use of a radar detector in a passenger vehicle is legal in all states with the exception of Virginia, Washington DC. and on military bases."

Well...my cousin has a V1 in his Mazda Protege, and I'm using that to SUPPORT the opinion of getting a V1, and yes I actually to have a legit opinion because I have driven his car numerous times...so don't act like everyone that says "Oh well my brothers cousin" etc doesn't know wtf they're talkin about.
