Since when are radar detectors illegal in Florida?

Not illegal, just higly frowned upon. From what my friends and dad have told be, if you get pulled over, and they spot a radar detector it is damn hard to get out of ticket. I however never get pulled over Plus, it looks badass all hidden up there and no visible wires.

What? If you get pulled over for speeding you are not getting out of a ticket anyway.

If you are pulled over for broken tail pipe - why would a radar detecor make a difference?

How can something that is not illegal "be frowned upon"?

No wonder you floridians struggle to vote

Well - as long as you havent put the unit so far up in the rafters that any tint on the windshield intereferes with laser detection and such.

[ViperASR]

Nah, it detects the laser and radar and such no problem, I've actually messed around with it with my resourse officer at my old high school. And if you get pulled over for speeding, having a radar detector wont help your cause when you go "but officer, i never speed"

Oh, and to getting no tickets, I work under the fire/ocean rescue department for my county, so I have a badge, and so far it has worked both times ive gotten pulled over sense getting my captains position

And BTW my ticket count is 2, both in the mini-van ops:

I like it! Very nice. awesome to see a porsche with that many miles, makes me smile.

can you tell me about your v1? how do you like it? I'm thinking of getting one. thanks!

[ViperASR]

V1 is absolutly the way to go if you want to get a radar detector. They detect K KA X and laser bands. It works very well, great range and has different beeps for each band. Someone told me something about a V2 comming out or something, I'm not really sure. My family has 3 sports cars and 3 V1s. We live by these things religiously.

As for the miles, as of now she has 250,000 miles, and my dads 944S has something like 265,000 miles.

For an update on the car as of now, as I kind of forgot this topic existed, she threw the #3 rod about 4 months ago and spun the bearing. Myself and my father rebuilt the bottom end of the motor and so far *fingers crossed* it is still running. I also bought a Turbo rear valance for it to impove those looks just a little bit more.

[supercarfreak]

cool, thanks!

it's awesome that you rebuilt the motor with your dad. you think about getting the turbo's front bumper? really love the look of it.

[ViperASR]

^^
I like the look of the Turbo front end but not the price to convert it to the turbo front end...

Thanks for the complements on the car though guys, I really appreciate it, and so does the car
