Yeah I've extensively read up on detectors; the escort vs. valentine debate is sort of like microsoft vs. apple. Valentines are expensive though, so that'll probably end up knocking them out of the running.Pale Rider said:I do believe the Belronics RX65 mentioned above is the prior model to mine. My Vector 965 is the new model.
Facts are facts....Pale Rider said:Gender bias isn't the point P. It's how it was written. The wording is very prejudiced, condescending, degrogatory and inflamitory towards yound men, no matter what the facts portray. It could have been worded quite differently without the sarcasism.
Sooooo you wanna be a macho man?

Pale Rider said:I've never heard of a Valentine. I'll have to research them. But, Escort is a good one. I think it pay's to buy a good one. Spend the extra. You'll be happy you did.
My Bell has voice, scrolling text, display brightness, volume, I can eliminate X band for city, or dial the sensitivity down, shut the display off so a cop doesn't see that bright red display, and a bunch of other functions. Pretty cool. Came with a real nice carrying case too.

Yer provin what this person wrote to be true...
Buying a radar detector. You said this was your first ticket in four years.
How much was that radar detector vs ticket costs? Humm , sounds Macho to me Pale. I'll speed damit let em try an catch me. Sorry..

I have nothing to apologize for..so I wouldnt think of it.Pale Rider said:I'm not disputing the facts P, and you're ignoring my very obvious point... as usual.
Buying a radar detector was a financial decision. If it can save me from getting another ticket, which would cause my insurance to go up, then it's more than paid for itself.
Maybe you should ask yourself why it is you go to the extent that you do to find fault in me, and lay accusations on me that are nothing more than your pias opinion. I could begin to pick you apart too. You're far from perfect. This is two way street. So don't appologize, just be fair.

Nope, that was the point. You wanna break the law but not pay the price for doing so....It so proves your first post correct. Sorry again..Pale Rider said:...
I bought a detector so I wouldn't get caught. No other reason. Satisfied? Or do you want to insinuate I have some other sinister or mal aligned reason?

Example. I am driving down the freeway observing the speed limit. I am behind a trucker who is somewhat blocking the activity ahead of us. A police officer has pulled someone over and they are both parked in the right emergency lane. I can't see them ahead because of the truck I am behind but since his radar is "on," I know he is up there. I can then move to the inside lane purely as a safety measure.
That's my story.
I'm sticking to it.
Okay, so you WERE going to pass on the right, in an emergency lane..Got it..
It's also handy if we get attacked by radar-wielding aliens. I'll take all the headstart I can get. Mr. P can be the appetizer.GotZoom said:They also provide early warning of the location of our fine police officers which help in their safety.
