I have an Escort 8500. It doesn't really do jack shit. Most cops use instant-on radar, which ****s you if you're all alone. If they're using it in traffic, you're going to know, because everyone will be slowing down anyway. Or, they'll just use laser, which detectors will only let you know AFTER you've been tagged.
Seriously, I'd just save the money. All my 8500 does is tell me where the closest grocery store or automatic door is.
I still drive like an idiot, and usually about 10 over the speed limit. Haven't had a ticket in years, but it's not because of my radar detector.
