I feel naked driving without my V1.

Its not so much the alerts that are gratifying but the long periods of silence when you can calmly break the law (err traffic laws that is). In a recent test the V1 was the only top detector to pickup Laser from a moving vehicle. Its hard enough to pickup laser from a standing cop let alone one that's hiding a few cars back.

But seriously with the speed limit pretty much ignored by everyone its really a must have for you Boxster. These cops love to hate on a poor guy who scraped together enough pennies to buy himself a world class sports car.

tips:
1-remove the front license plate (the no plate ticket will be cheaper than speeding ticket and insurance hike) laser is often pointed there and headlights.

2-Put a bra on your car, laser doesn't reflect well on dark colors.

3-coat your headlights with that laser veil "sun screen"

4- get a V1 or Escort

5- get a PBA card from your local cop buddy.

by the way the remote relocator for the V1 is the greatest invention. It eliminates the tailgaters who will spot the flashinglights coming from your windshield and it also hides the flashing light from the cops looking for a challenge. I have my remote right ontop of my steering wheel below the gauges.
