    Default So this is what everyone calls "l-o-v-e"

    Really the V1 has been an absolute treat for me. I have had this for the past 3 months now and have not regretted paying $400 once. I have encountered a few bogey setups on my daily routes and when they are using radar, the V1 sniffs it out. Anyone that wonders if it is worth the money, honestly the arrows alone do it for me....especially if you know the spots where say like CVS or walgreens will make the V1 go off....if another threat comes in, it will point in the direction. I found one time the cop was conveniently parked right near a drug store so that cheapo radar detectors wouldn't think twice about it. Just last night I was racing with the hot girl in the car next to me doing 75 on a 45 and my laser was going off like crazy. Thank God for that cuz I slowed down and the cop car was on the side of the road with all his lights off (this was midnight btw). I know laser is impossible to avoid but that is why I was in the middle lane, I at least improve my odds of the bogey targeting the end lanes. I was always curious...why is it that with laser, the V1 can't show you where it is coming from? Are you suppose to just assume it is right up ahead? In any case...I slowed down and never would have without this V1...it is my sugar momma lol. I changed the words to "I'm in love with a stripper" by t-pain if you guys know that song:

    I'm in love with my V1,
    It's blinking, it's beeping, its beeping,
    Its finding those bogeys,
    I'm in love with my V1,
    Its pointing, its J'ing, its J'ing
    I don't care what the threat is it displays it
    I'm in love with my VVVV1111.....

    1st off: You didn't get hit with laser by the LEO, and you didnt get scatter...

    LEO's are trained to guesstimate the speeds of vehicles, and there is no way you got 'scatter' because... well if your going 75 in a 45, he is hitting you first... and you would have a ticket right now.


    2nd: The V1 can show you laser front/behind because it has 2 laser sensors, so whatever laser sensor is picking up the ~904nm wavelength... the arrow shows that direction.


    3rd: Nice to hear you like your V1.

    Good point, the V1 can't save you from racing on public streets.

    Not so true buddy. Instant-on if your 10 mph over the speed limit and your the one being targeted. End result $200 present from DPS . Ask me how i know!
