    Pretty sure that’s murder, no matter how much the guy deserved it...

    He was driving a 2002 Mercedes E320, and man had parked legally after hitting me, so the cops just left the Benz there when they arrested him. I drove to my place of employment that was literally just up the hill to use the bathroom, and when I drove home, the car was still there; You have no idea how tempting it was to dig my Tacoma key into the paint of that Benz a few dozen times...

    Kinda like that Carrie Underwood song, but avenging a damaged vehicle instead of getting revenge on a cheating lover!

    You think I’d ruin my life by actually killing someone? I was about to knock him out when the police showed up, because he getting a belligerent and I felt threatened, but that’s self defense...

    Guess what causes all these accidents? No one is held accountable. Liberals and their bleeding hearts let scofflaws go.

    Here is a future crasher, that begins with a small parking lot accident while DUI, and eventually will probably take someone's life:

    This reminds me of the time my family got rear ended while stopped at a stop sign. Other dude worked for an insurance company, but his insurance was a different company.
    He said that they backed up into him because they over shot it. From them on I bought dash cams for all our vehicles.
    Personally I use the
    $200 Rexing V1p pro Dual 1080p Full HD Front and Rear 170° Wide Angle Wi-Fi Car Dash Cam with Built-in GPS Logger, Supercapacitor, 2.4" LCD Screen, G-Sensor, Loop Recording, Mobile App, Parking Monitor
    Rexing V1p pro and I haven't had any issues so far. Has both front and rear cameras.

    Things like this are why I installed a front and rear dashcam in both of my vehicles about 6 months ago. There are just way too many distracted drivers out there these days and many of them are willing to lie about being on Facebook while driving. I'm not going to let any of them get away with it if they plow into me.

    I'm not saying it's the absolute best dashcam out there, but it was relatively inexpensive, fairly small (to keep it from prying eyes), and seems to work quite well.
    Amazon.com: Dual Dash Cam, VAVA 2K Front and 1080P Cabin or 2K 30fps Single Front Car Camera, Both Sony Sensor, Infrared Night Vision, App Control & 2" LCD Display, Parking Mode, Built-in GPS for Uber & Lyft

    Yeah, she said I ran the red light, according to the officers who thought she was lying and did everything they could to get the footage, to their credit. They also gave me the great advice of taking everything valuable I could out of the vehicle before it gets towed. Went to pick up stuff today and literally everything valuable I left was picked clean from it.
    People are definitely shitty.

    Is it possible to add a rear cam to an already existing front cam?

    Sorry about the Taco, wish I was closer if you were interested in selling the topper. Ive been looking for a white one just like that. Utah isnt super far from Colorado, just a mountain pass or 5....

    If the op and I could work something out, I would in a heartbeat. My little impreza was totaled by an idiot who stole a car and decided to street race up the interstate in a snowstorm. He never admitted,the car was stolen, and there wasnt "damning evidence"; e.g. a screwdriver in the ignition, so the state prosecuted for reckless driving. The jackass got 30 days, ordered to pay restitution, but was an illegal, so nothing ever came of it. The only saving grace was I wasnt injured too bad and I had uninsured motorist on the car so my insurance wrote a check for it. He totaled 4 other cars in the same wreck.
