I just bought a V1 and I'm very happy with the workmanship.

I don't race on public roads and I don't use other people as pylons for a nice slalom on the way to work. However, I'll hit 10mph over just getting past a truck quickly on the interstate. With the 135 that will probably be 20mph until I learn to keep it down. I don't want to get busted for things like 'surprise.. construction zone', or '(thinking) schedule and budget, work plan, contractor dependencies.. speed? what speed?'

I really try to be a safe driver but sometimes that means speeding. Other times speeding is reasonably safe and you feel like it. If I didn't like going fast (or if I had patience), I wouldn't have gotten a 135.

Also.. you will get a ticket if you're pulled over with a detector. In a small Texas town I got 'well, you're radar detector didn't help you that time, did it?'. I chose not to reply but there was a momentary temptation to tell him (inaccurately) that I primarily used it for school zones.
