Ok, pictures are coming soon...

Beltronic RX65 radar detector.    I don't know how I ever drove ANYWHERE without a radar detector... I always considered it to be cheating. lol...

Our brand new (bought on the way to the start) RX65 died on us after 30 hours of continuous use.  Right after that the flexplate broke.  I think I might snag a Valentine One for this run, although an STI Driver would make more sense where I live (VA.)  I've gotten more used to using a CB and scanner for my ticket avoidance tactics, and driving a non-flashy car helps also.

Hahaha... Volvo... flashy... 
The word "Volvo" congurs up images of this:


But yeah, I know what you're saying.

As for the RX65, we tested it on a run to Az and back. Roughly 20hrs there (stopped and goofed off in San Antonio and hit up a bunch of tourist traps in NM and AZ), and 18 back without a single problem. Plus it's used every day on my way to and from work. So we'll see what happens when it counts. 

CB's and scanners are a must. More on those coming soon.
