    Nice.
    I’ve been looking at getting one.
    Mounted on the dash or windshield?

    Saw a hot air balloon crash off the pizza place back deck too, one day l heard screaming so ran outside. Saw the hot air balloon operator cranking the flame to maximum as it was losing altitude, the balloon rotated and it was split open from bottom to top!

    Don't remember, and it's supposed to be two cameras running off of one SD card, but the rear one has never worked properly...

    Channels just means how many separate cameras. I have a Cobra 2 channel (windshield and rear window mounted). Ran about $225 including the extra wiring for parking mode and a couple of hours to rig it up.

    There are 3 channel setups. 3rd is for inside the vehicle, though I think only real group to use that would be Uber/Lyft drivers.

    I decided to remove everything from the back of my truck that might stir up controversy, as you can see; I have Aspergers Syndrome, I will admit that I can have a bit of a temper at times, and I really don't like it when people mess with my property! That said, if were to walk out of a store and catch someone messing with my truck (like slapping an industrial-grade sticker on my bull bar), I would very likely end up with assault and battery charges; I have never been arrested before and would like to keep it that way!

    From what I could tell, it was that obviously trimmed section of branch/stump wedged between the wires. The power came back on almost immediately, and the cop who showed up didn't initially block the road (he may have after I left); I initially thought that the white Mazda had crashed into the pole and caused this as I came over the hill, but the driver had parked and got out to take pictures and call 911 himself...

    It didn't feel like it shook the ground or anything. Keep in mind however that the passenger door was shut, Amanda was in the truck on the phone with her roommate, and the truck was running with the A/C cranked so there was a lot of background noise and it was a lot louder than it sounded in the dashcam video!

    My girlfriend's roommate got a 75-gallon aquarium for free on Facebook and somehow managed to cram it into the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport...

    The tank had a large crack in the glass that the person giving it away insisted could be fixed; @Stitchgirl90 and I had our doubts and told her that it would be cheaper to buy a whole new fish tank than to fix this one. Her dad, who co-signed on the apartment and helps with rent was fine with her getting fish tank, but ordered her to get rid of this pile of shit as soon as he saw it...

    It took a neighbor and myself to get this damn thing of out the Mitsubishi and up to the apartment, and I didn't feel like doing the same thing in reverse getting it down to the dumpster; I asked if I could just smash the thing to bits with my baseball bat on the condition that I clean up the glass, and got the okay to do so. Yes, I employed Lucille to do the job...

    This glass has to withstand the pressure of 75 gallons of water, so it was harder to break than it looked!
