And yes, I think that's an SA-2 (S-75 variant?) in the background. I took this photo.

Whe this page came up like this:
I was sure that below it would be a Delorean.

The best ones are GPS augmented Escort Radar/Laser Detectors. And you have to know how to use them. I sold mine after I sold my Grabber Blue Mustang; it was a Laser/Radar magnet, and it was just good to know where they were coming from just even going the speed limit. I had a friend who called it ECM.
However the best Laser detector is just watching tail lights light up ahead of you farther on the freeway. A trouper with the window down, tail lights lite up like a brake check
GPS also marks false alarms and keeps them from triggering an Alert next time. Without this, cheaper detectors are a waste of time as they just go off all over the place.
Keep in mind I am not a speeder, but sometimes a car seems to go faster then you think when your not looking and it can become a gotcha

Not a pic, but funny all the same:
I have never used any of the speed detectors, and have had a few tickets due to that. Yes, I admit I drive fast.The best ones are GPS augmented Escort Radar/Laser Detectors.

Recently due to my mothers declining health and the pains of trying to sell her property (mom is/was a hoarder) I have had the pleasure of taking my Mercedes E350 on the 500 mile road trips between my home and hers. Once out of the 55 MPH zone speed increases to 70 MPH in rural Oregon. I set my cruise control on 77 MPH and let it go. Last trip I saw no SP on the east bound trip and only one on the west bound return. I kept my speed at 77 and passed right by him. No issue.
The previous trip I passed at least 6 SP throughout Oregon east bound and at least as many again westward. My speed was 77. Not one gave me a glance.
Idaho, the speed is 80MPH, I set the cruise control for 85 and let everyone pass me. I get only about an hours drive at 85 before the speed drops to 55 or lower.
If I did not use the cruise control? That Mercedes reaches 100 MPH before you realize you were actually driving that fast!
If you want to see radar detectors, look in my driveway. All my cars have Valentine Ones. Saves my butt at least weekly.

Valentine Ones have very few false alarms. They say different radar devices have recognizable "signatures". The usual radar operated doors at shopping centers triggered my older detectors, the V1 rejects them.The best ones are GPS augmented Escort Radar/Laser Detectors.

And they work superbly on laser. If you are not first in line, the laser beam gets scattered off of various objects when it gets reflected off of the targeted car. If you are first in line and the target, it takes a while for the cop to get a usable reading. It's a lot like shooting a pistol from 1/4 mile away. They basically "paint" the front of your car, giving the V1 ample time to give an alert.
Around here, they quit using them because the cops said they were too difficult to use.

But, see, a Delorean is actually worth something,
You know what to do.

The American way…
Did that Animal Pilot a Space Ship as a Guardian ? Did he have a side kick named Groot?
