[s-cars] radar detectors, was Buying parts at S-fest

[chris chambers]

Lee,

If you are a dedicated speeder and agree the V1 is the #1 
performing detector why would you put a substandard unit in
your wife's car?

In my book running with no radar detector is better than the false
security of a sub-par detector.

We have two 93 UrS4's and they BOTH have current V1's.
