Radar Detectors: Who's running them?

[Jakey]

Who all out there is running a radar detector? Any specific ones anybody recommends or has experience with?

[v8klla]

I have one, it is a Bel 9xx and it works great...I work at circuit city and it is one of the better ones we sell. I believe it was rated the second or third best behind some massively expensive escort type!

As far as performance, saved my ass dozens of times...Zero tickets with it on my car for almost three years...I don't speed though

One damn ticket while it was sitting in the back seat, that'll teach me!

I have one, it wasnt too expensive but its nice, I forgot the brand... its in the garage and Ill check tommorow- been in terhe to much today doing tbelt install.

Ive never been pulled over in my life... so its working pretty well. Been driving for 4 years or so.

I too use a Bel. One thing I would definetly recommend if you like to speed in the cities areas would be a piece called the Laser Pro. It BLOCKS all types of incoming laser. It is frickin cool. A cop can sit there and keep gunning you with laser until he is blue in the face, and the Laser Pro deflects every incoming signal. It is real small nobody really knows what it is if they see it (two pieces mount on your front bumper and look like foglights, the other one mounts on your rear license plate). I can more than vouch for this system. If you really want to not get a ticket this is the way. Unfortunately it doesn't combat radar, but when used with a radar detector you are practically unstoppable.

Escort 8500. Expensive but works good and has saved me a few times.

He is lying. It is my radar detector. It is not working as good as it did though. Probly because I leave it in the window.

If you dont ever speed, you must piss off alot of people on the freeways and highways.

Hey Jana, wanna race my race car.... my 79 cadillac deville? It has a big 425 ci engine and only weighs about 6000 pounds. Talk about a sleeper. BTW, we will race to the speed limit so you dont have to worry. j/k

[CVD]

there is nothing wrong with driving the speed limit, especially if you drive respectfully.

[Kracka]

You guys are being harsh... Aslong as people are going the speed limit in the right lane I never get pissed, its only when they are driving slower than traffic (whether it's below, at, or above the posted limit). To you guys ragging on her car and calling it slow, all I have to say is "at least its not ghetto-fabulous." It may not be the fastest out there (especially now since it was demodded), but at least it doesn't look like its held together by zip-ties and JB Weld.

[A//// Guy]

Im with Bunchie above ^. Speed of traffic is key and if they are in the fast lane going slower than traffic I get mad.
