That wouldn't have been a bad idea to try beforehand. Oh well. I got enough false alerts with it suction cupped to the glass anyways. And the thing freaks out whenever I get behind an audi.

A lot of the new cars that have warning sensors use the same radar bands that the police use for their radar, but only lower power.

1 ticket and the insurance rate rise is far above what the escort max360 I'm looking at upgrading to will cost. My escort IX has paid for itself may times over and when paired with escort live plus google maps and waze it's mostly worry free :driving:

I said that's fine, I'll wait. The next day he sends a text saying pp basically banned him and I could use zelle instead. Not happening, I have no protection.

I don't know if it was a scam and he figured if he refunded my money (because I didn't use f&f) that I would agree to use zelle. There couldn't be anything wrong with his pp account, I received a transaction ID number from pp.

That would have raised my spidy senses too. Good thing you passed. Something doesn't sound right at all.

A cobra is the worst detector ever. I would suggest you watch Vortex Radar on Youtube. He won't even review one because they suck so bad. The Uniden R3 is a great detector. That is in my vette. I am still using my old trusty Escort Redline in my Z. It is chatty due to the blind spot monitors on newer cars on K band but I can hit the mute button with ease. Both the Redline and R3 will catch the KA band 5 miles out at least.

Yeah, I run the R3 in the Z, and the escort in the QX.. its a nice setup.

Well thats good. Not sure why everyone thinks ruining cities is going do anything positive...

It seems like most people are just having peaceful protests and then a few idiots that just enjoy destruction get in there and crank up the chaos. They ought to figure who those fuggers are and put them in jail for a long fun stay. Get them the “honeymoon suite” down at the local county sore butt hotel
