I never thought I would need one but since I got my Subaru I have been more than a little heavy on the gas and now I am in the market for a radar detector. I would love to have a V1 but its a little steep IMHO and I would have to save up for it but since I am the impatient type I want something run out a buy tomorrow. Escort 8500 is at the top of my list any other suggestions for >275? And while where at it where do you have yours?
