    Default V1 Save...big time!

    I was driving back from Lafayette today and instead of taking I-10 I decided to use US 90.

    Started picking up KA 34.7 on the STi-R and then about 5 or 6 seconds later the V1 started sounding off with a front arrow. I had been running about 12 over and had a good rabbit running out in front of me, so I adjusted my speed accordingly. Rabbit must of had a RD because about ten seconds later he slowed considerably.

    Anyway as we continued down the road, a LSP cruiser was spotted running the opposite direction. As he passed the arrows changed from front to back and I and the rabbit began to increase our speed significantly when the V1 threw a front arrow and 2 bogey alert for a quick second and then quit. It went back to 1 bogey my rear arrow still was picking up the LSP cruiser to the rear but fading, along with STi-R then quit. It happened again only this time the front arrow blinked notifying me of the stronger source. I slowed again not sure what was going on as my rabbit continued on....STi-R is quiet! Third shot with V1 and Sti-R both alerted about 2/3 strength but I had already adjusted my speed and as I crested a small rise and curve, sure as $&%! there is a local shooting I/O as people came over the hill.

    You guessed it my rabbit was standing on the brakes. Guess his RD was a Cobra. LEO pulled out as I backed off and fell in way behind him as he accelerated and then lit him (rabbit) up! Morgan City got a little richer today.

    I swear my legs went numb! It could have been me if it were not for the V1 and the arrows. STi-R would not have been enough this time. Looked at my wife with a big 'ol smile as she shook her head!

    I don't know where the V1 has failed around curves and hills for others but today it saved me.

    V1 FTW!

    V1 is great on I/O and with the arrows it's a must for situations like this!!

    I will. Hadn't even thought of that, though I doubt they carry my size! If I win I will give it to you!

    It showed up on the STi-R frequency as 34.687, so (34.7). It was a white cruiser with a big angled yellow stripe and brown highlights around the emblem. May have been a St. Marys Parish cruiser, but honestly I was so excited I did not take a real good look.

    I wish I had had my camera up and running when it happened.

    I know, I know. My wife told me to leave the camera at home, because we were going to some her families house and she did not want me to start explaining why I have a this hang up!

    I will not make this mistake again.
