Okay, I'm a speeder. Plain and simple. Those punks who do 5 miles over and think they're hot shit? They're nothing. Its not that I'm always late. It's not that I'm impatient, either. I just like the speed. The car rolling along. A good tune on the radio. I'm just addicted. I can't stand motor sports though.Anyway, so spare me the lectures about speeding. When you keep your car in perfect condition, you pay 100% attention to the road, and you've never, NOT ONCE, put even a scratch on your ride.. when you commute 81 miles daily, and drive from Richmond Virginia to south Jersey monthly, you can lecture me about driving.Now that thats out of the way.. I picked up a radar detector today. They were illegal in Virginia so I didn't buy one then, but now I did. I got a cobra, which I knew to be a good name in them. Standard 360* protection, V2 and SPECTRE 1 protection, 3 standard band detection, and a sexy female voice to boot.I did not, however, ge with the pop3 detection. For 1.. by the time they hit you its pretty much over anyway. Secondly, I do't think they're that common.Does anyone else have experience with radar detectors?

Actually most radar detectors are uselss. They'll work just fine if a cop has his radar on but all detectors have a hold button. All he has to do is wait for a vehicle that he knows is speeding and then click on his detector and lock in the speed. By then your toast, plus most larger departments have laser detectors now and they can light up a vehicle over a hlaf mile away.Duff
