^^untill the cop that pulls you over for the RD also says he paced you doing 75 in a 55 >_<
wut are u going to say in court.... oh no i was doing the speed limit (DESPITE the obvsious fact that u have a radar detector and running it illegaly in VA)
That's the type of thing where if u didnt HAVE the RD in the first place, that cop prolly wdnt have even pulled u over... hence having the RD is what got u the speeding ticket!
I'm a big fan of RD's tho, many many saves in VA too. Just be smart and get a Bel STI Driver as ur RD... or take it off for the 1 min u drive into VA.
Never know what the future holds tho and where else in VA u might be driving to one day....

I realize that most of us have money and dont care about 20-30 bucks on a invis cord thing, but its seriously easy to make your own with any RJ-11 cable or telephone cord. save yourself the money and just make one , then ask the hot girl at work out to lunch and spend the money having fun instead.

I used the one from my Z and it worked fine, maybe you dont have the metal one that i got though..
My regular Escort 8500 has always treated me well, I'm getting it hardwired at the dealership the day I get my G37S, when the 8500 dies, I'll just get the 8500 x50 or the 9500 depending on how rich/poor I am.
Also, any Escort owners out there, I've owned my 8500 for many years now, within the past 6 months I've noticed it's done a self calibration a few times... Does this mean it's on the way out? It still seems to work/alert normally.

someone asked some ill just share with everyone.
I had that from my 2006 350z but it works fine on my G also. plus its metal and not plastic. its a little pricey though for a mount. i just turned it over so you cant see the Z on mine, you can get them blank also.

I bought this a year ago also when I purchased my Z, i picked this one because i can take it out and use in my other cars on battery , i dont like cords. it provides the same protection as the X50 when the batteries are good. since its plugged in all the time, and only on battery when i switch cars its great for me.
