Anyone have a Valentine Radar Detector?
I'm picking up a car (if all goes well) on Friday and driving it back from Chicago. Does anyone have a V1 or similar radar detector I can borrow or rent near PHX?
Please advise asap! Thanks. Last edited by hdpt00; 07-08-2009 at 10:39 PM.. Reason: location |

Just buy one.
It'll be well worth the money, and most members will agree to its benefits.....Although it's not guaranteed to prevent tickets, but it will save you many times. |

I love to speed, but I hate getting a ticket much, much, much more! It's one of the worst feelings for me. |

Just take it easy on the way home, break your car in properly. Be sure to vary your speed and rpm on they way home. I would avoid using the cruise control as well so that your engine doesn't stay at the same RPM for an extended period of time.

I took my M3 for a 300 mile cruise and then another 300 miles back. I varied my rpm's and changed gears often throughout the hwy. Although, I did punch it to 5,500 a few times......OK FINE MAYBE I DID 6K RPM! hahahehe |

Haha too bad you didn't order sooner! Did you tell them you want a 'refurbished' one and get 10% off?

radar... 88 in 65 only $95 and already got a lawyer that said he should be able to knock it down to a fine with a 3 mo suspension where I can't get any tickets in IL. Shouldn't be hard as I have no plans of driving it back to the previous owner.
