Radar Detectors, Which is best? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm in the market for a radar detector. i need the best one available. lol. any recommendations? i prefer it to have a blue display. i've seen many that are red but i want mine to be blue. i like the ones that make the cool noises when you start the car too. those cool little beeps. lol. and of course, be good at detecting all types of radar detectors/cops/whatever. please let me know whats good out there. i also dont want that cigarette lighter crap. is there anyway i can connect it to the cigarette lighter wires behind the plastic. like connecting it to the power and ground wires from the cig lighter so that you dont see that plug or anything? thanks guys.

slightly off topic
what's with the horror stories i heard about cops having "radar detector" detectors?
I would certainly not mind have a radar detector but i know they are illegal over here. I heard that if you get "detected" with one they will impound ur car, strip it down until they get the radar detector and charge u up the as-s

yeah... i dont think theyll do that... at least not here in miami. and if they did, i swear i put a bullet in that cop sooner or later. but yeah, i searched right after i posted and found that yeah, valentine 1 is the best and then escort 8500 x50 is real good too and cobra. they were both pretty expensive. i wouldnt pay more than 100 for a radar detector. its not that serious. lol. so i went with a cobra xrs9700. it looks pretty good. and it only cost me 13 shipped. not bad, i think. my friend has a cobra and it makes a real cool noise when the car starts. lol. so yeah, i think the 9700 is the best from cobra. so lets see about that.

one more question tho, how about those CB radios??? Im guessing its so you can listen in to the cops and know when theyre coming. ive been watching too much FnF. "We got a 187 in glenndale, i repeat, we got a 187, we're good to roll, i repeat, good to roll". lol. what should i look for when buying one?
