Radar Detector...who has one?
I used to think a radar detector was worthless. Just pick a good rabbit, or slow down over hills, etc.
Finally, one of my friends called me an idiot and said I was being naive. As abrasive as it was, this guy knows his stuff regarding most things in life and so I said the hell with it, and went and bought a Valentine 1 on a lark.
Anyway, damn. He was right (in my opinion). That thing found cops where I didn't know there were cops. The arrows were awesome, and my situational awareness is much better. I now know sometimes miles in advance when there is a cop shooting radar, which direction they are in, etc.
I feel blind if I drive without it now.
Anyway, just through I would share that/see if I just got to the party late, or what? I think in a 370Z, or any other car capable of easily exceeding the speed-limit (or even in your daily junker), it's nice to have. I just like knowing what/where now.
