What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I own a Macbook pro as well as an iPhone and a couple of alexa's. That said... My kid no longer has an XBox or a tablet because he was addicted to video games at 7. I'd hardly call riding bikes and shredding at the skatepark for several hours every weekend in lieu of sitting around playing games on a console making an effort to emulate the Amish.

 

***
Get your kid to do ANYTHING ELSE but play video games. Is an addiction and it does modify the brain chemical balance.
My daughter ended a relationship because he was ONLY playing video games all the time.
I have NEVER played video games except maaaany years ago PAC MAN and PONG at arcade. Don't have any games on my phone or puter either.

 

Finally got time to program my new key to the taco. There no need to carry that ugly fob anymore.

 

Jeez! Glad you're OK. That had to scare to stuffing out of you. Hope your Taco is alright? 75 MPH?

 

Nice! Choices are good!

 

Exactly.

I had that adjusted plus I keep messing around with the lumbar that's in my Wet Okole seat cover. It's really easy to manipulate as you are driving.

Makes a tremendous difference.

 

Did you consider mounting something on your Go-Pro mount?

 

Back around 1990 I was driving home from work on the interstate, in my 1984 Corolla wagon, when a flatbed dropped a dozed cinder blocks right in front of me. Think I hit every one of them. Bent all 4 wheels. Had big bubbles protruding from each tire. A co-woker came up behind my parked car. Followed me home. Found a set of wheels and tires in the Trading Post (paper version of craigslist) for $100. Changed wheels and tires. Drove it another 4,000 miles and sold it. Never needed an alignment. I could not believe it. Steered fine. Passed inspection. I was just waiting for the inspector to tell me all my ball joints were shot. All I can figure is that I hit a pair at the same time in the front. Still baffles me.

 

Get some fans, it helps a lot! Makes it bearable.

 

The one I have is a Blueskysea B1W...great quality and it was $50. It has a smartphone app for settings, view the media, and/or download to your phone...seems to work well so far.
I've used the super expensive ones, but for how I use it they're not worth it to me. If I want 4K video, I'll use my GoPro.

Yes, my GoPro when I need better quality and for specific events. GoPro's suck for dash cams, as that's not their intended purpose, and they don't start and stop automatically. They're also targets for theft. Had a GoPro when the guy hit me on the freeway and since I forgot to manually push record, all I got was the ensuing chase. Fortunately, there were about 12 witnesses and 8 calls to 911, so they got his ass.

 

Figured I'd post this in the 3rd Gen as well.

I wondered how much impact I'd see going from the OE Destination LE's to moving up to 265/75R16 Destination MT2's.


It's been an surprisingly mild impact.



Well......it's been about 5,000 miles on these MT2's and I have to say that I'm very pleased with these tires.


I'm sure the treadwear will be much less than the AT tires I'm used to.


The impact to my mileage has been very small over the OE highway tires that I ran the first 4,700 miles.





Here was a great comparison. The same I-20/I-95 interstate trip made 9 months apart.













Yesterday's trip on the same span of road with the MT2's on.










Considering I went up almost 20 lbs per tire on individual weight......I ain't complaining.

 

Yea, I paid less than 100 bucks for mine. 2K, 150 degrees, audio, G shock sensor/auto vid retention, motion detection when parked/off, battery backup. The video is pretty impressive. My buddy bought one for 35 bucks when I bought mine and his doesn't have the same bells and whistles but for what it does, and for what he needed, it is great.

In this day and age, you'd like to think they are not necessary but unfortunately they are. I didn't have mine one day when some manic and another guy were road raging it and involving a lot of innocent drivers, myself included. It got dangerous really quick when the guy in the F-450 started spreading salt at 80 mph on I-95 in rush hour traffic. He literally could have caused a pile up. I did take pics of his truck and used my resources to look up his info. I sent an email to the company he worked for with a pic of him in action. The video would have been so much better. Not sure whatever happened to him but I travel that road every day and have not seen that truck again.

Mine's currently unavailable on Amazon, likely because it was so popular, but I wish I would have bought two, so I could have one in the back as well.

 

That's great mileage numbers for such an aggressive tire/tread design Greg!

 

People are nuts, bro...

Here, the heat cooks their brains, so there seems to be a higher incidence of crazy during the summer months.

 

Yea, most of the time I wish I drove a POS beater I could retaliate with to idiots, the rest of the time I just wish I had a laser mounted on the roof so I could free the world of them.

 

Teach me master

 

I'd totally drive this on the daily, even though it's a Dodge...

 

That's exactly what I need for my commute sometimes.

 

That looks straight out of Mad Max right there!

 

Almost, it's Death Race.
