I love it, I wasnt going to be a dumb Highschool kid with a Cobra going 30 over all the time, I was going to spend my money right the FIRST time, with the most expensive thing I could get my hands on.also the one my buddy also had and I saw every day and even so I never break like 15 over unless im REALLY PI$$ED

all in all, ive had it for a year, and NEVER looked back

Maxon Micro Trouncer (X, K only), 1988, was a piece o'cr@p and then got stolen

Micronta Road Patrol XK, 1989-1991, X and K only, nice detector for its time, saved me many times

Uniden Stalker, don't remember the model, but it had "wideband" Ka and laser, 1991-1997.

Bel Vector STi, 1997-2000, had great sensitivity but had an annoying tendency to false. Drove over it with my car and got a V1 next.

V1, 1.7, 2000-2004, worked great but threw "E" codes after jump-starting my car one time (fried a chip).

V1, 1.8 (3.813), 2004-present, currently in use

Escort 8500 X50 red, 2005-present, currently in use (usually keep in wife's car)

my first detecetor was a snooper sd815i which we had in 1998.

and over the years i've studied detectors and i know whats what, so i got a valentine this year, its not really for the radar i brought it for, its for the laser detection.
