| Best Radar Detector Hey everyone I was wondering what radar detector everyone was using. I am looking at the Valentine One or the Passport 8500. I know that the Valentine is a very nice unit, heck they recommend it in the Destroy video as neccesary equipment. But what about the Passport 8500? Anyone using that one? How do you like it? Thanks in advance...

| Valentine One, it is like the psychic friends network for your windshild. I have one and it is the best. Go for the extra money and get the V1, it is worth it.

| Valentine 1, for sure! Has saved our asses multiple times, one while we were traveling at some higher than normal (think double the highway speed limit) speeds. Oh, and in case anyone from the government is looking at this thread, the preceding was just a joke.  Last edited by Suneal : 09-23-2003 at 04:53 PM. |
