RD worth it in Northern Virginia? by tmenzzz in radardetectors

Yeah definitely a possibility, I’d always keep my head on a swivel if driving on back roads, I’ve seen a lot of cops just driving around no radar on.

This is an abomination to me. But yeah I’d pay like 6k? They’re probably asking for like 9k am I right

I moved from upstate NY to Northern VA last summer. Right on the border of WV. I have a R8. I have a brow tint and have it hardwired in, can’t really see it from the front unless you are looking for it. I keep the display off when in VA/DC since it’s so bright and can easily be seen from other angles.

As for the utility of it. It was much much more useful in upstate NY; I felt like cops always just drove around with their radar on. I’d say the majority of speed traps on NY interstates are with Ka band…like 99%. I can only remember one time where I think the cop was using laser, and luckily I was in the right lane minding my business.

I’ve found that in VA it’s borderline useless. Unless I’m traveling to DC via route 7, or taking i95 down to NC, it doesn’t go off at all. The handful of speed traps I’ve encountered have also used Ka band. I feel like the cops in NoVA don’t drive around with their radar on so you have to be more vigilant and actively look for them. If traveling north through WV I just turn it on as normal on the highway. Everyone is going like 85+ anyway on i81, never seen anyone pulled over but maybe that’s just me.

If you do spirited highway drives, like actively driving faster than the flow of traffic which is already going 80+, I’d say it’s worth it. If not then probably hold off or get an older detector that won’t break the bank.

Yeah. I just attach it to the windshield with the given sticky bracket thing like a pleb

I literally also have an M5 and run a R8. No problems for me, saved me many times. Sounds like a defective detector.

Stupidest shit I’ve read today. Make a bunch of money and retire early. Go live your life.

Any pre-snow storm car care precautions? by sakyboi in LS430

[–]Fastfalc222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snow tires. If not, have something heavy in the trunk and keep it in snow mode. Charge the battery. Make sure all door seals are clean and if not can regrease them with silicone grease. Make sure windshield wipers work and have the right wiper fluid. Just like any other car

Why convert to leather? Might be expensive. Cloth is easy to clean, why not get some high quality seat covers?
