Are they worth owning?

I bought it years ago and only use it now for long highway drives. I usually stay around 80-83 mph so its nice to have a heads up. It works fantastic I usually can get an idea of where they are from up to a mile away.

Do you feel you can haul arse and never get caught?

If you are doing this you are going to get caught eventually. Cops don't always have their radar guns turned on so they and just scan the one person they want to get and by the time you get the warning they already have you.

Cops in certain areas also use a new type of radar called "pop" radar. Basically it shoots one blast of radar at your car and most radar detectors cant pick it up. IF it does pick it up you have roughly 2 seconds to get down to the right speed.

In the end, I don't think it is worth it to be honest with you. Too much money if you are just a normal everyday driver. If you are the guy "hauling arse", just stop it that shite is annoying.
