My brother is a St Louis cop, I wonder if he nailed you? Next time I talk to him I'll ask. BTW I have one of these babies, worth every penny!

^ escort saved my *** from a motorcycle cop the first month I had it. Paid for itself real quick. I have the new one, but it doesn't update like it's supposed to. I've been going back and forth with them about it.

I went with a V1, but either way it will help, I have definitely picked up a few and was given plenty of lead time to return to proper driving. This car will definitely move you faster than you think you are.

I've only updated mine once and it worked fine. Glad I had a rechargeable air pump to plug it into though.

I know the V1 is supposedly the ish, but I absolutely LOVE the lockout of false alerts due to the GPS. That and there are more and more speed and red light cameras out there and this baby tells you all!

^ yeah, I don't want to get into a debate about it, but even though v1 always gets great reviews, escort generally beats it out in opinion polls.

frost 05-30-2009 10:24 PM

PS, I hate the escort got rid of the volume slider on the side. It's not as easy to turn it down/off with the quickness.

theDreamer 05-30-2009 10:28 PM

That was one thing I wish the V1 would upgrade to, with more red light cameras, speed vans, etc. on the roads I pick up no signal for them. Plus the lack of GPS to plug in false alarms is one turn off. Though my neighbor sold me on the V1 and I lucky have a great memory so I can usually pin point false alarms and mute the system on my own. Or just drive quicker past them so it stops beeping. ;)

My friend has an escort and loves it, and we have tested them in a rough manner and the V1 wins then the escort wins. In the end I feel just having one is better than nothing, just as long as you know how to read and understand how they report everything.

I like that the v1 tells you where the cop is, but I wish it did like, a single screen instead of 4 separate arrows. It looks bulky.

+1, it reminds of 90's technology.

It was in my backyard of Maryland Heights. He was a cool cop. I never tried to talk my way of the ticket or anything. He did ask me if i had any weapons in the car though. I told him only when i work.

He is really an awesome cop! :tup: Our cars are def eye catcher. So, you gotta drive carefully all the time. I use Passport Escort.

frost 05-31-2009 12:56 AM

^ good man :D

I'm still dumbfounded that a seatbelt ticker is on $10... I'm pretty sure thy are considerably more than that here in Texas.
