What do you guys think? Will I get tired soaring through the dessert for 7 hours?

for the last 11 years I have been a traveling salesman calling on my customers in 9 states. I've had a few radar dectors but the Valentine 1 I've had for 8 of those years is by far the best.
I have a clear bra on my 997 C2S and in florida with the sandy soil that gets on the road and the bugs we have it is my opinion that if you want to preserve the front of you car a clear bra is a must. I would rather see a clear bra on y car than sand and stone chips and parts of the clear coat eaten off by dead acidic bug guts.

Valentine One is the only choice!!

Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.856 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.
