Thumbs up The new ESCORT Passport 8500 X50

Ordered on Tuesday, got it today with 2nd day by air.Man, they do business quick!!
The kit looks so cool with the Blue LED. I love it, but haven't had the chance to try it on Highway.
Here are some pictures...

Smile You can still choose V1.

Hey Guys!! Don't worry if you don't like it after you bought it! There is a 30 days trial. Remember to call to cancel and simply return. As long as mine works fine, I will keep it. Good Luck!!

If it fails to work and I get a ticket.. Do they refund me my points, as well as, what I paid for the radar and give me a "get out of jail free" card?



If so, I would buy one in a heartbeat...

Thumbs up

The blue looks very cool! I am used to seeing my red V1 on the windshield of my GX so it is neat to see something different! Keep us informed on how it works, I would love to hear your thoughts after using it for a few weeks.
