Explain why that matters?

I want something that detects far. I’m not arguing with you, just trying to understand.

EDIT- I looked up that Beltronics unit, it’s $500.00 and doesn’t even tell direction. FTL

I got my blue Escort for free (thank you Nick for trading with Joe) so a V1 for $500 was not a logical option at that time.  
I bought another red one to replace the blue one I stole from Joe, so that I could be a fag and have the blue match the gauges in the Jetta.  
But, that red one is a piece of junk. Please have a box Nick. Trying to meet up with Joe to get his is like a God awful nightmare.

V1 has a patent on the arrows.

Yeah I only bought the 8500 because I didn’t think GPS in my radar detector was necessary and becuase I got a sick discount from work. And the red matches my gauges…
