That works too!!!

[NewGen33]

They got one called self control, I hear once you use it you'll never be the same.

[Nismo]

What are you doing that you think a radar will help you with? Also post up type of car so we can flame you.

Dumbass. Later, QD.

[BeastRodeo]

So you want to stop getting tickets? But, you still wanna keep doing the same shit? Save some money and stop doing all that and you won't need help finding a radar.

[silversol]

i thought most cops use laser now anyway.

[MachNU]

yeah radars are a waste of money, most dont actually work, plus by the time it registers its already way to late, the cop see's you and has your speed. so the best one you can use is stop driving fast do that thing called the "Speed Limit"

Just an idea, but why not save your money and lower the risk of injuring other people who are able to maintain something called "self-control" and stop doing stupid crap. Doesn't that just make sense?

[gtrmonkey]

Cheath Pass is a Laser jammer too.

not really i get hit with radar like 19 out of 20 times.

[FlipKing]

The dolorian from back to the future just goes back in time and passes the cop going under the speed limit. True story

[Catnip]

Just become a cop, then you can speed with no consequences.

[ztastic]

dude its so stupid people say drive slow and have self control...
okay i do have self control but i rather be protected from stupid pigs.. cause some times u get that feeling like u just wanna drive fast. and its a 2008 350z
so go head flame on

[ztastic]

its self control as in where and when you can speed and "drive fast" and be reasonable with your speed.

So how is having a radar going to help you not get caught drifting? You know the radar wont tell you if a police officer is coming right?

[redrumracer]

Why don't you get some blinders.

only helps ya against laser not radar

[ztastic]

no i know its not going protect me from drifting... just wanted cause like ur in the highway and ur going a little fast n they have speed traps n u get fuck if they catch u or even when a cop is behind u... shit like that... u know??
beats a ticket man and how expensive those tickets are! fuck that bro!!

[ztastic]

if the cop has his radar on, then it will tell you. before he sees you.

just to let know.

[81911SC]

You're more of a drifter? I doubt it. And neg rep.

[Nick Jeezy]

oh damn. your getting a lot of hate....

If you want to know how radar detectors/laser jammers work, I believe a member made a thread about this before and it was a good read.

I have had quite a few radar detectors and here are my takes on them.

~Any cobra - I honestly would not get any of their shit

~Passport Escort 8500 x50 - pretty basic and simple, but comes with very few options. But it's compatible with the ZR3 laser jammers so that combination would be ideal.

~Valentine V1 - I actually had it for 2 weeks equipped with euro mode and POP2 and everything... and then sold it because it really wasn't all that to me. The arrows and bogey counts were cool and all but in the end, I really liked the 8500 x50 better because it actually tells you the type of radar on the big LED. On the V1, it tells you but via little dots and it doesn't tell you when you're being hit by a laser like any passports. The only neat thing is you can send it back to Valentine and they'd update it for you. the fucked up thing is you got to pay for the update.. IMO I'd rather see an LED while driving rather than having to dicipher a certain series of beeps like morse codes that comes from an obsolete looking block =P

~Passport Escort 9500i - I upgraded to this from the V1, and it's pretty much just the 8500 x50 with the GPS system. The cool thing is IT FUCKING TALKS like a navigation system, blocks out false signals once it's been through it before so you don't get false alarms the second time around, it tells you your speed limit everytime it receives a rdar signal. Moreover, you can choose to mark certain locations for speed traps if you KNOW cops are bound to be around there and it'll remind you (i.e. 285 near peachtree industrial).

So yea, it may seem like I'm bias towards Passport but I just tell it how I see it. The thing about this technology is that they come out with new shit everyday and you have to contemplate depreciation value. Like when I got the x50, it was 350. I just sold one earlier this week for 160 -___-'. It seems like only the V1 and 9500i/x retains their value..

That said.. hit me up if you want a 9500i.. $350

[quickdodge®]

So why don't you just exercise your self control right into a fucking brick wall and end yourself so you won't infect anyone else with your stupidity? That would be a great public service that you could provide. Moron. Make sure you're alone so it's only your worthless body dying in the street and not a normal person. Later, QD.

[ztastic]

wow some people on IA are fuckin just dumb
like QD over here gettin pissed off for such a stuipd thing.
i dont even fuckin race dumbass so fuck off. later,
