    Default Gumball 3000 V-1's

    I was searching Gumball 3000 videos and I could not believe how many have V-1's in them. It does not show them but you can hear them. For those that don't know the the Guamball is it is a 3000 mile race. It is nice to see that your V-1 is in a million $ car.

    I live in Europe and if you see a Porsche,Ferrari and the likes you can be 99% sure that a V1 is hanging high.

    While at Road America I saw a few V1's. The funniest thing I saw while there was a VERY nice NSX, lotsa money into the car supercharger, full cage, very nice interrior with a very cheap cobra in the corner of the windshield pointing to the sky.

    i have quite a bit of friends that have very nice cars and have the worst radar detectors. im talking about rocky mountain and cobras. but yeah ive noticed when watching some gumball videos, alot of them have V1's its pretty nice.

    its just sad when somebody who dosent know much about detectors walk in for the first time, for example, into circuit city (as i did) and a sales person comes up and begins preaching that "this Cobra XRS-9930 is the best on the market hands down."


    lol.. "not only is it the BEST detector it has a navigation compass."
