There are a few radar detector review sites out their that are worth it. I use a $50 whistler. The Escort / Pasports are some of the tops though.

You passed me once going so fast on 495 that it knocked my sunglasses off
Exhibit A: You were wearing your Sunglasses on your dome, kinda like Barbie

Exhibit B: I was running late, and merely doing 80, slighlty less than half of what I have done on that road.

Up until about '95 I have had almost every vehicle I've owned (and a couple others) to maximum speed. Since then I may have gone 100 once. I rarel drive past 80 these days and usually then I am in the right lane while people are doing 85 in the left

Keep it at 65 or under in a 55 zone, and 75 or under in a 65 zone. Almost every statie in Mass will give you 10 over.

On secondary roads, with town cops, YMMV.

This is my method if there aren't a lot of other cars around to use as interference. 73MPH, hit the cruise control and relax.

Thats the goods.
Mine is about 9 years old.
I don't even mount it to the windshield anymore. It sits in the console between the front seats and is still plenty sensitive.
