Well, it's either one of the first unmanned guided buzz bombs used by the Germans to hit London during WWII or a radar detector.........

as soon as the 8500 adds arrows and a bogey counter, it will come to #1. As it stands, the V1 is #1.

I do have one, but it's not for sale. It's an antique.

Me? doing good.

Escort 8500 shouldn't be used in the same sentence as the Valentine 1. Escort hasn't made a top notch detector since Cincinnati Microwave was running the show.

Regardless of which side of the friendly debate you are on, a comment like that just makes you sound ignorant. Both detectors are very good. Which is better depends on the tester and user preference. I have the Escort, but my next one will probably be the V1.
