On my way to bestbuy today...
I saw a nice black C240 4matic black/black in Westbury NY off the meadowbrook it had black tints probably 35%. These 2 asian girls were driving it they were young. Anyways the car also had chrome brabus IV replica rims probably 18"s and a black CL grill along with a brabus lip on the trunk. Not bad not bad was wondering if shes on this forum???
Anyways so i bought the Passport 8500. I got the red one cuz i really didnt feel like paying for the blue one even though its the same thing as the red one cept it lights up blue. Wow it works great and its very easy to use. My friend has one so he recommended the Passport 8500. The Valentine would be nice but its way too much money in my opinion. Plus the Passport 8500 is right up there with the Valentine.
So if your in the market for a radar detector go with Passport 8500 cant go wrong

I bought a older version Valentine One a while back (Maybe like back in 2003) on ebay, its work flawlessly so far. I've heard good things about Passport 8500 as well. I haven't got pulled over yet since I bought this V1 (knock on wood), but if I do then I'll probably dump this unit and get a new Passport 8500 or the newest V1. Depending if I have the extra $100 to spend on the Arrows

To be honest i've read a few reviews and i think they are pretty much the same. I didnt get the V1 just b/c of the price. I think the V1 just shows were the cops are at b/c it has the arrows... not quite sure i'm lovin the 8500 tho lol

OK i heard the Story that the guy who create the "Valentine 1" is also a the same guy that create the Passport.. but don't think is the 8500... they are really pretty much the same *****. I read a cantonese Magz once they compare these 2 radars and they found out Passport 8500 is best so far becuz V1 sometimes gives out false alram and signal a little late than the Passport. But i get Passport becuz they have one right in stock in Bestbuy and good rating. But my brother stole it and never return....
Btw, are those girls cute?? did u stalk them??

i just got the Beltronics RX65 Pro last month; i have a few friends that have the Passport 8500 X50, but haven't gotten to compare the 2 yet. from all the reviews i've read though, the RX65 Pro is suppose to be the best, guess i'll find out!
