Kinda wish I had one today myself. Just watched a firetruck absolutely haul rear end through an intersection. There happened to be a cop already at the intersection waiting in traffic so the only thing I can think of is that he must've been radioing them that everyone was stopped, because they didn't lift one bit even though they were coming in on the wrong side of the road.

MrChips posted:That was discussed a little while ago in the Aeronautical thread; the captain of the aircraft had some sort of role at the racetrack (I think he was a cashier or something like that) and decided to do a low pass over the track. Would you believe that the first officer survived that crash? I like the guy standing in front of the Christmas tree watching the crash, reaching for the extinguisher, then realizing that a hand-held can is literally worthless against that fireball.

It's not like it's impossible to make a good suction cup mount. Whatever plastic iOttie uses for their suction cups is insane. I've had the one in my Ranger up there for probably about a year now and it's never fallen off on its own accord. It is discoloring the cup a bit (was clear, now it's starting to yellow a bit from the AZ sun) but it still holds on.

Got a G1W, only had it on for a few days so far and already caught some poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RczTuYgt9c Does anyone make a mirror mount that sticks it next to the mirror support, instead of below it? I want to hide it up behind the mirror as much as possible, especially on the CRV since my wife hates having anything additional in her field of view. Or should I get a Mini 801 for her? To clarify - in the video I have the camera up in that position on the suction cup, I just don't trust the cup to hold long term and would rather use the mirror mount.

The Locator posted:I'm using the suction cup mount that came with the G1W and it's never come off. Going on 4 months now. I had mine get a little questionable-feeling while I was playing with the final location, but we'll see how it goes. My Ranger gets full sun pretty much all day every day, and whatever ungodly sticky substance the sucker on my iOttie phone mount is made of hasn't even thought of peeling itself off. It has started to yellow a bit though! trouser chili posted:Aww, it's more fun when you leave the audio on so we can critique your music choices and use of expletives.

The G1W-C I got from estore009 on eBay actually came with that exact mount. It's really a drat nice piece but at least on the Ranger it seems to hang waaaaay down from the mirror.

The Locator posted:I see this every single day. There is a triple left at my exit for the office, and invariably, someone in the outside lane actually needs to be in the left lane, and/or vice versa at the first light which is a short block from the exit. So instead of just getting into the correct lane for their intended destination, they need to do a double lane change in heavy traffic in less than a block. Never ceases to amaze me. I know exactly which ramp you're talking about and yes, it is a clusterfuck. I actually avoid that whole stretch of road if I can because it's just a drat mess.

I really need to get off my rear end and wire up the camera in my wife's CR-V. Just last night had someone decide that a green left arrow meant they could go ahead and go straight across while I was trying to turn left, looked remarkably similar to that.

Caught Nissan doing some manufacturer testing the other today.   Michigan manufacturer plates, mismatched paint on the front one, no model badging on the one in the rear (the first photo above). As far as hardwiring, I have the one above in my Grand Cherokee tapped into the ground and key-on wires feeding my EVIC, so I don't even have wires running up the pillar. The one I'm wiring into the CR-V I'm using the add-a-fuse like mentioned already, I just need to find a longer mini-USB cable since there's fuckall for a straight shot while keeping the cord as hidden as possible up the pillar.

I tried it with my Galaxy Note 2 for a short while but recording video, running GPS, and streaming bluetooth was more than it could handle. Performance got choppy in all three apps and it actually managed to trigger the thermal battery protection. The drunks you share the road with - watch the left-hand side of the intersection just as the light turns green in my direction. What you don't see after he goes out of frame is that he kept driving next to me until I goosed it a bit, and stayed in the shoulder behind me (seriously angry that I gave it a bit of gas) until the very end of the video when he finally turned off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttdp3jvQzSo

I was driving, couldn't get a license plate (even in the video), and given that a road rage incident over here ended in a murder just the other day, was focused more on getting away than anything else.

A tiny bit of an idiot behaving badly. Watch the white Corolla up ahead next to the HOV lane. I witnessed some other assholery that same day but it was on a road perpendicular to the one I was on, so of course not on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I7w8-ALB9E

Oh yeah, in rush hour that loving sucks, but at the same time that's all the more reason to suck it up and just stay in the right lanes (or start merging over a mile+ ahead).

I have been happy with the video quality, but have had issues with the camera retaining the date and time settings. I have to reset it all of the time which gets very annoying. This seems to be normal for them, unfortunately. I just disabled the time stamp.

The Locator posted:A local autocross group does a yearly 'teen driver school' thing that I instruct at. One of the things we run the kids through is full ABS stops, both in a straight line, and while making an emergency lane change. I'd say that 9 out of 10 of them do not get into the ABS until the 5th or 6th run through the scenario, even with an instructor sitting with them yelling to push the pedal harder (and having started the thing by demonstrating ABS with them riding along). Do you guys get to use the red/green lights that Bondurant uses? I went through that back in December (on the one day it rained of course) and I didn't have too much trouble getting into ABS... because it was locking them up pretty easy on wet rough pavement The Locator posted:That seems like a recipe for rear-end collisions to me. I've felt this kick in on my CR-V all of once. Thanks to learning to drive on my C10 with its godawful brakes, I tend to drive as if I have fuckall for stopping power (I put ~80k on a set of Hawk HPS pads and they were nowhere near worn out) but even then it can certainly be calibrated to only kick in when needed. The one time it did kick in, I'm pretty sure it helped save me from running into the guy in front of me, so there's that.

Fair enough, but at least from my limited experience with them (the CR-V is the only car I've driven at any real distance that has this ability) they don't kick in just from a quick gas-brake transition; you've got to be jumping on the pedal a decent bit already. In that case, you're really just changing who gets rear-ended first. I'd wager your old Fiesta and your Focus ST both have it.

Yeah, agreed, my point is that unless a manufacturer is royally loving up, a light tap of the brake (no matter how soon after throttle) shouldn't result in max-panic-stop. If Kozmo's really got a car that does that... that's hosed up. And in the category of fuckheads who don't know what signals mean... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-QilbjSSTk (also yes I needed to clean the lens of my G1W apparently)

Just odd to see a truck that Nissan has already pulled the wraps on, still partly camoflaged for what must be some form of emissions testing or something (it had some sort of sensor zip-tied to the exhaust pipe). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdGxG3cPJGE

blk posted:Time to buy a dash cam. Everyone needs one. I installed my second G1W-C on the rear of my WJ facing backwards, since my wife won't want to deal with rebooting it manually as needed. I've got a Cobra dashcam for her and a magnetic mount for it since the suction cup that comes with it doesn't stick to anything, and is huge. Of course, while I was futzing with it, I noticed the suction cup on my front G1W-C was looking a bit brown... the next day it's hanging by the USB cord. Looks like right about a year is what to expect out of a cheap suction cup in the Arizona sun.
