    Default Saw a Cobra mounted correctly

    We've all poked fun at the "Cobra to the sky", I figure I'd let everyone know that I was at a traffic light the other day, the guy in front of me was running a Cobra, mounted center windshield low, but it at least it was level. So not everyone who runs a Cobra is a loon. (At least not when it comes to mounting)

    Well I saw the title and I was gonna say pics or STFU, but after your description I've concluded, still a loon. "Dashmount" RD is high center and level, anything but and they didn't need the detector for radar reception.

    I've seen a couple mounted correctly. It's not just cobra users that mount their detector towards the sky, people who use older or cheap detectors(cheaper whistlers) will mount their detector towards the sky.

    The title speaks for itself, LOL. On that note I saw a little Honda Civic ricer the other day with a V1 mounted center windshield pointed straigt up to the sky. Tried to take a pic my iPhone but couldn't snap it in time. I guess this can go both ways.

    You couldn't keep up with a riced out civic? His arrows must work perfect with that mounting job.

    Saw a Cobra mounted correctly
    The only correct way to mount a Cobra is beneath one of your tires!

    A ricer with a V1? Must have been a gift... or stolen. The arrows would tell you if you're being clocked from an airplane or a subway.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    I used to have an old cheap cobra, gave it to a friend and taught him how to mount it correctly (as correctly as a cobra CAN be mounted). It alerts to C/O Ka decently well. Anything else, I wouldn't know.
