“died suddenly, with no warning”

Believe it or not, it HAS been known to happen at age 74.

I had an Escort. It worked perfectly. It lit up to let me know I'd already been busted by an instant-on radar gun employed by the Kingman, AZ Bureau of Revenue Police Department in 1991.

Actually, yes. 85 in a 55 in California in a 1988 Escort GT. Got busted along with a little old lady who was driving a Cadillac. CHP snuck up behind us.

The Kingman incident was a 1989 Mustang GT. I was using an Escort radar detector, which was Valentine's product.

Wow, I thought he was older.

Boy, do I remember his ads in magazines in the 70s.

This brings back bad memories. I was fired my first day as bank cashier clerk. A woman came in and asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her. Next thing I know, I’m being escorted out.

Yeah, but at 74?

There are enough valid reasons.

I had fairly good luck with radar detectors until most of the polices I encounter started using laser radar.

No warning, even worse than the instant on stuff that you would sometimes get a sniff of early warning.
