Then your're crazy. With all do respect of course. But, they work and have saved me a lot of money. And contrary to popular belief, it doesn't make me speed, just protects me in times I happen to be going a bit to fast. I normally drive the speed limit, but it's nice to have when i don't. They really work, if of course you get the right one, not some $30 one.

There are two types of radar detectors; ones that tell you a cop is ahead and to slow down (expensive Escorts, Bells, and V1's), and then ones that tell you you're getting a ticket (Cheap Cobras).
Having owned plenty of detectors, from a $20 Cobra to a $500 Escort. If you spend under $100 on a radar detector you're just getting a device that tells you you're getting a ticket, because the range and resolution sucks. I really believe in the higher end Escorts (9500XI), because they have saved me from tickets multiple times.

^This is 100000000000% true! I have had two different detectors in my years of driving. First bought an Escort 8500; loved it. Then a few years ago sold that to Jimmy and bought a V1 and LOVE it even more.
Some might say that $500 for a radar detector is too much, but i say bah to them. Can't even tell you how many times the V1 has picked up cops that were out of sight from so far away. Not to mention that i can track multiple "threats". That in itself is worth it.
Moral of the story = don't buy a cheap one.

I would buy a nice expensive one if I had the money, but I don't
I bought what I could reasonably afford, and it'll have to make due until I can afford a better one.

Understandable. When you can afford to spend more, i do suggest a V1. Expensive but very worth it.

Oh. You did? Haha, I missed it! Well, if all else fails, we can probably find a huge parking lot to do the photos. Might be easier, since we have like 23 people coming.
