He walks up, looks inside and busts out laughing. Tells me if I am going to have a radar detector I ought to make sure it is facing the right way,.. damn thing was backwards!! He laughed and wrote me a warning. Since then I have felt so stupid I couldn't bring myself to buy another one!! So worse case if it doesnt work,... turn it around backwards and maybe the cop will just laugh and write you a warning!!!<hr></blockquote>
how can it be facing the wrong way.

That "backwards" story is too funy.

I've not gottem a radar detector for my 00 Bird. Had one for the 87 Bird - saved me a few times. But here in South Fla, there are so many false readings/urban clutter plus laser is fairly common - I have not brought myself to spend the bucks for it.
