Does this detector pick up Vascar?

If you are comming to BB to get advice on RD, now THAT is funny. Sorry, but going to BB for anything has "sucker" written all over you. Overpriced, most (not all) sales reps with less knowledge than a Walmart stock boy.

Should have sold 'em a 9500i. You can program it to remember common VASCAR locations so in a way it can pick up VASCAR. Would have made a bigger commission too!

In fact, they were doing this long before there was an actual "VASCAR" device. Many chronograph watches with center-seconds chronograph hands actually have a tachymeter scale on them, so that you can calculate speed between mile markers (or whatever distance unit you prefer)...Breitling chronographs were popular with police departments for this purpose early in the automotive age.

You can set up your own VASCAR unit for $115, just buy a Swatch chronograph watch with the tachymeter scale, set up two rocks (both free) a mile apart, and start clocking people! Way cheaper than a radar gun.

Hmm, brown in a blue eye? Cool. Everybody always compliments my eyes because I have brown patches in my green eyes with some golden flecks, although it's not in a ring around the pupil like in that photo.

I don't know what kind of rocks you are talking about or smoking, but you would need some pretty good sized ones to be able to see them > 1/2 mile away...
