I hate it when I have a passenger and my V1 goes off like crazy at door opener infested areas or it doesn't go off at all with a LEO visibly sitting in the median with I/O or just monitoring traffic.

Do you have V1 performance anxiety with a passenger?
I hate it when I have a passenger and my V1 goes off like crazy at door opener infested areas or it doesn't go off at all with a LEO visibly sitting in the median with I/O or just monitoring traffic.
I'm the same way. I usually have to explain why the supermarket is setting it off. Then when the LEO goes by they ask why it's not working and I have to tell then that his radar isn't on.
I personally just hate running my RD with a passenger in the car.... it takes like 2 hours to get past:
(1) Hey why didn't it go off? there's a cop.
(2) Why's it going off in this parking lot?
(3) You know radar detectors don't work
(4) Cops aren't gonna give you a break if they catch you with a detector. (Mind you, I'm a teen driving a V8 powered vehicle)
(5) Speeding kills, you know? You really shouldn't do it.
(6) You know, radar can't get you if you're following someone else that's speeding...
When I get people like this who think they know everything, I tell them they have two options:Originally Posted by jdong
Shut the hell up, or get out and walk.
So far the few people it's happened with have all chosen the former option.
What do you drive Sir Dong?
I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L V8 with Quadra-Drive.... it's primarily our winter-mobile but I typically use it all year round for its consistent power and handling characteristics....
There's a new Chrysler 300C AWD sitting on my driveway for when I come home this weekend.... It replaces a '96 Honda Accord LX, so it's a huge step up. That'll be fun, but first we'll have to see how this athermic windshield and laser ACC will work out....

X2
same..and when u pass a leo without radar they are like why didnt the thing beep!
The first time someone says that to me is the last time they ride in my car.
Just happened to me yesterday during evening rush, passengers asking why the RD wasn't beeping when a LEO was driving near us. I had to explain that the LEO is talking on his cellphone, tending to other calls and catching speeders is not much of an issue. Me and the LEO pull up side by side at a traffic light so I decide to check out his radar equipment while he peeks over into my car and notices my RD. I pull ahead keeping it at PSL as the light turns green, LEO comes into my lane behind me and shoots IO K-band 6 times, so then I'm busy explaining the concept of instant-on to everyone in the car. Few blocks later, me and the LEO pull up side by side again at the stop light. We just smile at each other as he turns off.
That's usually when I do my sharp lane change 20mph under the limit and let the B-pillar teach them a lessonThe first time someone says that to me is the last time they ride in my car.
