Rukus posted:A bit late to this, but I've used these in combination with fuse taps without any issues. It has a female USB port on it, so you can use the appropriate length USB-A to Mini or Micro USB cable to connect to the dashcam. I've used a similar item before and it worked well, and you reminded me about the cam I had before the previous one - it used a mini USB connection but it wasn't 5V, it was 12V. The cig adapator's plug was also mini USB on the output side, but put out 12V on the + pin instead of the expected 5V. I'm glad I bench tested it before I used it someone else.

The dude who rear-ended you was probably busy gawking at the accident on the other side of the highway, so I'm guessing that situation actually happens pretty frequently. God only knows why we need to slow down to 40 km/h when there's flashing lights on the other side of a loving divided highway, but we do, every single goddamn time!

In the time the cop was processing us, two more similar wrecks happened, and when he went lights-on to help us get from the center median to a nearby parking lot, there was yet another.

Emergency services should have a dude taking non-PII photos of crash scenes and posting them to an official internet page so our morbid curiosity can be satisfied without slowing traffic or causing additional hazards.

God I remember back in the 80s backfiring cars were a common thing, with carb engines and leaded petrol before EFI and unleaded became popular. One of dad's friends had a L300 van that would backfire that badly it would blow the lid off the air cleaner.

One of dad's friends had a L300 van that would backfire that badly it would blow the lid off the air cleaner. I remember this too, but then again, the car we had that did it also left a mental scar because the car caught fire from it. Apparently the previous owner had decided that the exhaust return was stymieing the ability of the station wagon to tow something. Also decided to have the carb run richer as well. End result was the exhaust return was only unhooked, but still fed back to the engine bay. This meant the unburned fuel vapor ended up hanging out under the hood. Entire a chance backfire that had the flames run that way back around annnnd, the car caught fire. Mom was the only in the car, but she was able to get out safe. And she only knew it was on fire because another motorist flagged her down and told her to pull over as the car was on fire. This was also back in the days before certified used vehicles was even a thing. Oh those days.

Parents do weird crap when it comes to dropping their kids off. In my last neighborhood I would frequently need to toot the horn to get parents to move their cars out of blocked intersections waiting for the bus. They would just sit there. A wall of cars blocking the road. Unbelievable.

IOwnCalculus posted:I'm guessing that was the OP applying a blur because there was a minor in clear view. Correct on both counts. But, I'm betting this parent does this all the time. The red car parked on the side of the road was dropping a kid off too, but at least they were over on the side of the road, and not in the middle of the intersection with someone behind them. The cops will come out and ticket everyone dropping their kids off here due to the no parking signs a couple times a year, and that scares them into going through the proper carpool line, but they slowly stop after a while. That Mustang is a vinyl wrap that I see quite often on the way to work in the morning.

Is there a consensus on the best 2 channel dash cam under 500 bones? Bonus points if there’s something that makes it easier to swap between cars (I’ll probably hardwire the DD but will want the option to swap the front cam out easily to other cars using the ciggy lighter as power).

I think the Street Guardian model is about $300, I have one and like it, though I smacked my rear camera with some lumber and broke it. It's only working as a forward camera right now :/ Their reliability and customer service is very good. Most other brands are pretty hit and miss, but some new ones may have emerged since I've looked at the Dashcamtalk forums, especially with that budget.
