Ill tell you guys a story about my detector.
I was heading back from indy from a pool tourny down there. On the way back I was driving about 70-75 on 31N. It starts beeping like a mother as I topped a hill. And i saw a cop pass me on the other side 31S. Then i watched another unmarked car pull a u turn and proceed to fly up to pul me over. The cop makes me sit in HIS car ( thought I was getting arrested) And his words to me were
cop:"Whats wrong you radar detector didnt pick me up"
me:"Yea, I saw another cop pass me and i thought that was his signal"
cop: "I'll show you something" (Thought he was gonna shoot me)
He pulls down his radar and said "Who made you detector"
me:" Cobra" I said meekly feeling sick
cop:" Well what a coincidence! They made my radar. I dont think that they made your detecotr better than my radar"
needless to say i got a ticket An i learned that you have to buy a high priced name for good reliable "protection"
