    I am headed out of state tomorrow in a day long drive to FL, my old radar detector has been beaten to crap, since then I have not bothered to replace it because I don't speed anymore (costs to much $$ ) I might go alittle over the speed limit on the drive and was considering "buying" a radar detector from Frys electronics , then return it when I get back in a few days, They have no restocking fee like best buy does, what do yall think?

    i say go 5 MPH over the speed limit, so you; 1. dont get a ticket, 2. save gas

    Lots to come at some point. Hopefully soon.
    Yeah if time was the issue it seems like you would waste more of it just going to Frys then if you were to slow down 5 MPH. Plus like El Duderino said you will save more gas:)
