(I should have said "three separate threads" by the same poster with the same title - deleted the one with no responses and merged the other two)

1. Thanks.
2. Don't have time after keeping this forum in line
3. Went to a River City F-Bodies event last summer and was totally ignored by everyone there. I guess they don't want old geezers around so I haven't gone back.

I have the escort 8500 model for over 3 years... its a great radar but it was 300 bucks... I guess I spend that ticket money on that stupid thing but it saved me from at least 10 tickets but reemeber if your going super fast your going to get a ticket.. only use if you go 10 mph or less over if 15mph your screwed

Well - you were asking what we think as well. I think it's a good idea, but will take some time before people use it. It's tough to cover one area such as "radar detectors" and expect a large draw -- that's like creating forums for discussing spoilers only, or brakes, etc.

I would somehow incorporate more information and reviews in the site so it could be seen as a more reliable resource, rather than a place for discussing opinions. Also, I don't know if it's because I'm , but I find those red on black boxes everywhere tough to see sometimes -- I did however, successfully add 5+3 when I was registering

Overall - nice work, give it time.
