Fireball Roberts needs a Radar/laser detector

[djomlas]

yes the V1 is great, but passport is also awesome, i love mine.
another downside to V1 is that it just looks so retarted, big, and boxy, and ugly. but does the job tho.
my radar saved me toooo many times to mention it, so yea...and i also fell weird without having one, or driving without one.

i say get it.
and also, i noticed that i actually drive slower with it than without it. pretty much all the tickets i got after having a radar was when i didn't have it on me, or in different car, or just not having it plugged in. weird

I would rather have a V1 that has a black magnesium case, is unique looking, and is rated #1 over another brand with a cheesy silver plastic case that looks like an electric shaver for women that doesn't detect as well as the V1.

I only wish they were legal in VA where you can be pulled for having one when you are not speeding.

Also, we just got the country's stiffest speeding ticket fines recently. I saw a show on local news where you could rack up up to $5500 speeding ticket you have to pay over 3 years!

Gotta love it,
