So after alot of use and some abuse, my beloved valentine one radar detector finally took a crap on me. Anyone got any suggestions on a good detector that wont be ridiculously overpriced?

I'm 35 years old. I've had 27 cars since I was 15. I drive like a complete maniac. I never, ever leave the driveway without a radar detector. Radar detectors have probably saved my ass 1000 times or more. I've never spent much over $100 on a detector. I think right now I've got one of the cheaper BEL's. I don't see how detecting radar a mile or two away is any better than 0.5 miles away.
Maybe I'm completely behind the curve on radar detectors but I just don't see the advantage of these super expensive models. When I hear it going off, I slow down. bada bing bada boom. |

If I'm not mistaken, you can send in your V1 to Valentine Research and they will fix it (doesn't matter what is wrong) for $50. I would say this is your best option, since the V1 is one of the best detectors out there and you wouldn't have to buy a new detector.
