That's impressive! No one mentioned the Passport. Thanks for the info.
Ok fine... Passport 8500 X50 would be a close second.
To tell you the truth... I have a Passport myself... but I kinda want a V1 instead so thats why I still recommend a V1.

My friend is using a passport too, and it's pretty good but V1 is still better

You don't buy grocery store brand soda, do you?

V1. I delayed getting one for a while but bought it just in time for a long drive to the Central Cali Meet. It saved my ass, as well as the others in the caravan, a few times on the way there.
