I saw you threw out a price recently...

What gives Jon?

Why the appearance of trying to get rid of it?

Do you want to upgrade, and can't justify the expense if you still have that one?

This thread is way too large to go looking, so give us some details. In sort of the same line has/is anyone using the new product from Escort that links up radar detectors or heard any second hand info. Also looking to tune the car this year any tuners in the area with LNF tuning experience? Thanks

I might be in the market for a radar detector... though it's still the RCMP lasers that are my biggest concern. They're setting up multi-car traps on hwy 3 these days.

Thats why I am interested in the Escort with it being able to "talk" with other radar detectors on the hihhway.

I'm pretty sure the new escorts only link/Talk to other new escorts. Don't think you will find alot of them out there

Yeah I can see how that would be useful, but still doesn't help the fact that even if you detect a laser, it means he's already got you. In any event, they are a big help for the red light cameras and photo radar boxes.

That is what I was wondering. Sounds like a good idea depending on how common they become.

In Lethbridge we only have cameras at 3 intersections so you can just always slow down for those, and the photo radar guys always setup in the same spots. But in Calgary it's much harder to remember.

I just threw it out there as an alternate idea ~ which wouldn't mean we're standing outside in the cold...

no rager;
no parties;
and last itme I checked a "homewrecker" party was supposed to be for someone who just moved into the place;
I've been here since Christmas 2004.

Just an alternate location as opposed to a Tim Hortons that is too tiny for a group of us to hang out together at;
or one that will ultimately make us stand outside in the cold after a spell...

If we want, we can walk to one of two Tim Hortons ~ and if we want to still hang out somewhere that's open later, there's a McDinks around the corner from my house...
Then again, at my house I can put on some coffee (although at the moment I have instant, or a maker without filters or grinds )

I have welcomed you all to my place before, but while my room mate was there (especially consideing he was working the exact opposite shift as me) I couldn't really invite people there out of respect for him wanting to probably sleep or what ever...

Oh, I have a REAL coffee maker ~ iirc it makes up to 12 cups at a time...
I just don't drink much, so I don't have any grounds, or filters right now...

If you guys want, I can go get some...
but hte type/amount of grounds depend wholly on my expendable cashflow...

which normally kinda sucks
