Great sights at the car show
I went to a local car show this weekend. Mainly classics and muscle cars. I go with my mechanic every year, since we're both gear heads.
Anyways, so we start with the swap meet and I'm hoping to find someone selling a V1.7 next to nothing, but didn't find any.
I did find some cheapo one made in Korea.........we both laughed.
Fast forward about an hour, we are watching the autocross and I check out some of the cars that are parked near by.
One guy in a 1959 Corvette has the V1 mounted low with a cable.........
And another guy in a newer Vette has a V1 as well.
I tried to talk to the first guy to mount his V1 higher, but being that I'm 30 and he's about 60, he just wouldn't listen.
Anyways, I thought it was cool to see some folks using high quality equipment, because all I see in traffic are Cobras and the occasional Escort 8500.

That is cool. X2 on seeing ALOT of cobra's in traffic:mad:

Past couple of small car shows I went to I have noticed that more older people have V1's as for the younger adults have cobras or other less then affective RD's.

Older folks tend to understand the concept of you get what you pay for

Agreed.
Some people have to learn the hard way that it's cheaper to buy something right the first time.

X2, or they don't do research before they buy.
Re: Great sights at the car show
Most normal folks are not concerned about geting every micro-second out of RDs and some mounts do make all of us laugh, esp. the RD pointed up into the sky, great rabbits. Most reports state a foot or so in height makes little difference in detection range but I would like to see that proven to what point. Mounted lower could be better for radar reflections and laser angled off of a sloped hood thus better range. If it makes one feel better, do mount high (that is what she said :D ). Level and straight ahead...... :)
