    I feel like I should leave a note saying "mount high, at least above the windsheild, send it in for the 3.826 update, go to radardetector.net"

    Then again its not nearly as sad as the innumerable Cobras pointing off into the sky :shock:
    I'm sure this V1 owner hates his V1 due poor detection performance

    "My V1 only detects radars behind me..."

    sad...sad... :?

    i would be that that V1 is either stolen or from ebay cuz i hate to judge but look at the hood of car. it looks like a POS. now im not saying that he cant afford it. its just that you usually see a V1 in cars that have solid paint lol.

    Actually, that looks to be a very good stealthmobile. Probably a 92 VW GLI 16V (judging from the Recaro seats), faded grey paint 4-door sedan, WITH close-ratio 5-speed, 4-wheel disk brakes, 2L 16V engine, 135-140mph capable car. That's what I'd pick if I were still a poor student who wanted to drive fast without getting noticed 8)

    It's an acura integra with a worn CF hood, thats what you are seeing. It's not a bad car at all, not done distastefully, I honestly just think this guy doesn't really know any better! I think I am going to print this thread and leave it on his windsheild... he'll either get a kick out of it or hate me 8)

    Oh well, here goes nothing!

    i think you should. cuz apparently he knows what hes doing if he has a V1. so he might as well get the best performance out of it. good luck :wink:

    I'm not so sure about that. If he knew what he was doing he wouldn't have mounted it like that. It probably is an E-bay knockoff and the buyer probably knows little/nothing about RD's.

    Just to be fair maybe the suction cups are worn, but that's the only excuse I can think of that doesn't directly implicate the driver.

    Never under estimate the V1. That's one of mike's secret - did not let everyone know it also penetrates through wiper blades and hoods. As long as he does not get a speeding ticket and as long as the V1 still stays in the same position it is in when he comes back, he'll still be a loyal V1 owner and user.

    Never under estimate a person by what kind of car he or she is driving. A lesson learned a long time ago. Looks don't tell you everything. You can be wearing a suit and tie driving a mercedez benz but bank account is dry because money earned went to pay bills.
