Nailed!
(and not in a good way)...
Well it's been almost 20 years since I got my last speeding ticket. That changed today!
Empty back road early this morning to pick up my daughter from a sleepover. Nailed for 50 in a 35. Crap.
Well I guess Washington State has a ticket deferral program for drivers with good records. They hold on to the ticket (I don't have to pay it and it doesn't go on my record) - if I'm clean for the next 12 months, they tear it up like it never happened.
Guess I need to watch the speedo for awhile now...

I have a good lawyer who can make it go away. Cost money, but then you don't have to live in worry for a year. Pm me and I'll get you his info. He's great. And yes get a V1 if u can. Or passport. Either way.

Sorry to hear about your getting nailed.
I wanted to add my $.02 about the radar detectors. I've tried out both the V1 and the 9500xi over the last month and thought I would share my thoughts. I'm thinking I should put together a short review - we will see.
Anyways....
V1:
Pros:
Cons:
9500xi:
Pros:
Cons:
All in all it came down to this... I drive approximately 10 miles each way to work (city/street driving). On my way to work, I received (11) false alarms from the V1. In comparison, I received (1) with the 9500xi and I was driving through the SuperMarket parking lot (known for false alarms).
I think the V1 has grown long in the tooth, but it is still an excellent detector. With that said, the 9500xi is no spring chicken. It seems externally both were designed in the late 80's. If I was driving mostly highway miles it would have been the one I chose. The 9500xi in my opinion is a better fit for someone that does a lot of city driving. So that is the one I kept.
Cheers!

V1:
Pros:
- The Arrows
- Sensitivity
- Smaller than the 9500xi (just barely)
- I like the **** on the front
- Better mounting solution - doesn't rattle
Cons:
- Outdated design
- Lack of city mode - yes I turned off the X band
- Lacking innovation (GPS, updated display, ability to connect to computer, etc)
9500xi:
Pros:
- GPS functionality
- Speedtrap/Speedcamera warning
- Ability to lockout false alarms
- Easy to read display
- City function
Cons:
- Bigger in size (it's longer)
- Mount rattles
- Outdated display (same as my 7500 from 10 years ago - except blue)

By the way, for the previous poster it's a 9500ix not 9500xi.
