Greetings from North Carolina

Like the forum. Fascinating info.

I am looking at purchasing a 9500ci and an additional laser jammer for a new car (Honda Accord Coupe, V6, stick) I plan to purchase in the next week to nine months.

I started looking at radar detectors (and laser jammers) after recently receiving a ticket for 39 in a 20. It is highly likely that a radar detector would have warned me about the cop sitting at the speed trap *cough*, I mean steep hill which I drove down. I have looked at the hill and driven it a number of times since then and honestly I was driving a completely logical and normal rate of speed given the road. Expecting drivers to maintain such a slow pace on that stretch of road is just a f***ing money maker, but oh well. I'm here.

Besides watching the grass grow as I drive around the local area, I take many, many trips to Atlanta and across North Carolina. Hopefully I can hook up with some of you at a radar and laser detector testing meet and get my equipment checked after I get my new car.

What vehicle do you drive?

An old Toyota truck with 353,000 miles. It is on its last leg and is not worth putting a detector in at this point; it overheats when I drive it more than 5 miles at a time or when I drive faster than 50mph. I would not be surprised if it broke down completely TODAY. Currently, I am milking it for all its worth to save up a sizable down payment on a new vehicle. Luckily I do not drive far to work and live in a small area where everything is close.

Ok, when you get the Honda, post a pic of it (license plate covered), and we'll get you taken care of on jammer head placement.

I go to NC a couple times a year from CT and the 9500ci has served me well in that area. Welcome to the forum.

That is good to know. The 9500ci seems to be the best installed detector out there if you can forgive its ramp up and jamming shortcomings.

Completely agree.

I know your pain in NC, I'm from there myself and know all the crazy lengths the NC State/Counties go to for speed enforcement. Your ticket '39 in a 20' will be painful if you have a NC DL and will require some court cost/lawyer help to keep your DL.

Welcome to our most excellent forum.
