    Corndawg,

    Check out the hardwired radar detector mod. The OP had a good write up and I expanded on it a little further with pics. It really cleans up the wiring so its not always dangling down.

    Eh, $300 / (2 hr/d * 7 d/w * 3w) = $7.14 /hr.
    Min wage in Utah is $7.25.

    To be so young that minimum wage makes you feel rich....
    Eventually, it will hit you.

    I noticed that nobody mentioned the fact that if you reduce your speed, not only will you not get a speeding ticket, but you save yourself the $$$ for the RD and the $$$ on gas. Your MPG goes up if you keep it between 60-65. I went from about 14 MPG to 17 MPG. Cruise control slow lane for me:D.

    i have one up on the left side by the "oh shit" handle...in all honesty...cops have radar guns that shoot a quick "radar" blocker when they check speeds and then your radar picks it up...by then they already have youre speed

    ask me how i know :rolleyes:

    DONT SPEED!!! that is all

    Radar detector threads .. should just be banned in the forum rules if no one can play nice

    :locked::locked::locked::locked::locked:

    that being said, +1 for the Valentine 1 .. just remember it's a radar detector and not a police detector .. like any piece of equipment you buy proper usage is key.

    Illegal in Virginia, wouldn't use one anyhow. LEO's I know have shown me their laser detectors, they nail you before you know it.

    At my age I'm content to just cruise along with traffic, beats walking.
