the original Fuzzbuster 2, was actually and Escort in disguise
Saturday, June 27, 2015
Car and Driver magazine noticed in 1979 that the Fuzzbuster 2 worked identically to the best radar detector on the market that year, the Escort, made by Cincinnati Electronics. So they opened one up, and found an Escort inside it.

the story of what it's like to be a starter at the line in the NHRA " When a driver blips the throttle, you’re sprayed with a mist of unburned fuel like somebody turned on lawn sprinklers in hell."

Next thing you know you're in Tallahassee wearing a prom dress.
Some of the ideas didn't pan out, but we've never lacked ambition. I look on the bright side with these things. Where some see an expensive Mercedes that's totally submerged in salt water, I see a marine habitat. Sure, that's not how Sea World looked at it, but they learned an important lesson about signage. And believe me, I caught an earful about that one.
