Best praise vs top criticism for Valentine One Gen2
Best Praise
+102 pts“I have been driving by that sign for some 30 years with both generations of V1s. With the Gen2 I have become so brazen that I don’t even take it down from top of my windshield even when I am at my sister’s family home in Fairfax county. Once I saw Vortex’s video of him using Spectre RDD I realized no cop is ever going to go through the trouble of pulling you over when there are so many cars around you. And with invisible detectors like the Gen2, the cops can pound sand. It’s like fishing above the ocean with a shotgun.”

+6 pts“I had the Gen 1 since the mid 90’s. Converted to Gen 2 a few years ago. I still miss the volume knob. I could manipulate that in the dark without having to even look at it.”
