What did you do with your Z today III

mhcoss · 04-18-2012, 09:57 PM

Well today I went and got my Z washed interior/exterior. When it came time for the dude to bring the car around I watched him stall it twice in a row right in front of me. lol. After the second time I went and told him to get out and drove it off myself. Don't know why they are letting someone who clearly sucks at manual move cars like that. anyways end of rant

Good morning Misters.

Anyone have a recommendation on inexpensive radar (thinking sub $250). In my brief research so far it seems like the Bel RX65 or Escort 8500 X50 would be the best choice in that price range. Radar detectors are illegal in VA but I will be leading most of my club's cruising at ZDayZ this year so I figure it would be nice to have.

G'morning m4a1mustang!

If you're searching for a detector, why don't you just throw down for the best? Passport Escort 9500ix.

I'm curious, what features does the 8500 series have that interests you? The 9500 has the built-in GPS that after three false positives in the same area will not alert on that band or frequency again.

Hahah! I should've had this at the last place I worked at!

Good Morning All.

You are up early Steve. Good luck with the radar detector; I've been thinking about getting one too.

My Z will be ready early this afternoon.

The body shop called to say the front end re-spray and repairs came out great. Just need an oil change now and the spacers swapped.

It's really weird, as car insane as I am, I've never "missed" a car when it was in the shop before. I guess it's just that Z magic.

Have a great day all!

I love the flow chart.

Regarding the 9500... I just don't want to spend that much. Radar Detectors are illegal in Virginia so I would really only be using this whenever I am out of the state.

I run out almost every day. It is because of my nature as a human being and good forum citizen. I am a giver.

I just ordered the Beltronics RX65 off of Amazon. Based on the reviews it's the best one in my price range. I hope it is worth it since I will never be able to use it in VA.
