    So, how’s your day goin?

    I started backing out of a spot at a Tropical Smoothie and some guy in a black BMW 7 series was fuckin flying through the parking lot. He sideswiped my bumper and it hit his rear quarter panel.

    Did he keep going, or did he stick around to fuck your insurance out of the $25K it’ll take to fix the douchewagon?

    We exchanged info. Luckily his bimmer is older, but yeah it’s in much worse shape than my truck. Unfortunately I’ll probably be at fault cause there’s no way for me to prove he’s speeding. None of the businesses in that building have cameras that face the lot. But he told me he pulled out of the Einstein drive through and if that’s the case I know he was flying cause I watched 2 other cars park down there before I pulled out and looked at my camera. So he got from the exit to me in like 1.5 seconds.

    I have VIOFO A129 Pro Duo in the Tundra. Here is a video from the front camera during the freeze in February. Pretty happy with it.

    Do you have any footage from the back? Where does it mount?

    I have a rearview mirror camera that doubles a backup camera. The wider monitor helps. The only con I have about it so far is that at night it doesn't dim. Damn thing is still bright and people be looking on.

    These damn Toyota’s and their reliability! My Alternator went out on the land cruiser and the thing was only 20 years old with 270K miles on it. Wonder if the new one will go another 20?

    seriously this thing is one of my favorite vehicles that I’ve had. Sad to have sell it but just have too many vehicles to move to Montana. That being said it’s on Facebook marketplace if anyone is interested. Huge discount for anyone here — 6K and I’m into it for way more than that.
