I think that's what I have... you can do some online research as well and check reviews... I had a price range budget and cobra was the only one in the store in my budget

They work pretty well... I have no real complaints. $40 for the pair, rechargeable batteries.

The trick to using two ways that most people don't do... key the button, wait 1/2 sec, then speak, then continue to hold the button another 1/2 second... that way you avoid alot of garbled start and end of sentences...

Another way to avoid hearing "What?" multiple times, is to repeat/summarize import info ("left turn on route 178, left on 178), and finally, it's polite to turn down your music when you talk on the radio

I just picked up a set at Radio Shack several years back specifically for drives and have never had a problem. Inexpensive too.

Aashish could you put down my good friend Doug on this drive as well. (he was my best man at the wedding)
He owns a 96' Corvette that he'll be bringing if thats alright. He just wants to get out and drive and I mentioned about this event happening. He can stay at the back of the pack if it helps.

He also owns a 1977 Ferrari 308 in yellow but thats getting some bodywork and paint done to it so he can't take that out unfortunately. Sweet car though. He says he has a spot reserved for his this car at the Saratogo Auto Museum during the Ferrari showing in September. That should be a sweet event to check out too.

And Zach, welcome back to freedomm man! You most certainly deserve that. Hope to see you at the drive too.

-Jeremy

That should be fine Jeremy. Your friend is welcome to bring up the rear.

Sweet! Thank you Aash. Doug most likely will be meeting us at the Auto Museum since he's not far from there. But that could change too. Looking forward to this!
