    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    I think in NY they can only discharge passengers onto a curb and not into an open lane like that. Also noticed routes set up to avoid crossing busy streets. Lucky kid.

    yea the car was definately in the wrong there, but what a stupid ass bus driver for letting kids off in the middle lane, nowhere near a crosswalk.

    Yup, I'm mostly in Glendale and West Phx, but I get all over the valley on a regular basis. Get a cam, if not for the insurance, for the ability to document the ridiculous actions of other drivers and mock them on the Internet! :D

    Like this dumbfuck. He was zipping in and out of traffic and even after this close call, he was tailgating the hell out of people.

    Nice. What are you shooting with?

    I've considered on making a YouTube channel apart from the one I post cycling ad wheeling videos.

    Nice. If you're over on this side sometime, I'm sure you'll get some good footage. Lol

    I didn't even think about the the insurance break. How big of a part does it play?

    Also, got a link to yours or one you recommend?

    Cobra CD-R 820. Nice little can and has done me well so far.

    But I will say, I need to contact cobra. Because for some reason yesterday the charger cord started to burn/melt and had I not noticed it might have caught fire. It has a fuse I think in it which should have popped. But I'm going to probably take it apart today and see if I can see what happened. A bit disappointed about that. I found nowhere else on the Internet of anyone having that problem.

    I bought mine off ebay, it is great and I have no complaints. There are several shitty knockoffs though so make sure you buy from a good seller.
    I believe mine came from mainland china but I looked online to find reputable sellers.
    50 bucks for a quality camera, you can't go wrong.

    Thanks Lauren. I checked out the cam you have and was soooooo close to buying one because of the clean, sharp image it records , but I read some reviews on Amazon where many people had their power cords burn up...

    $100(ish) is all I want to spend on it... I'll look around some more.

    It's weird. When I was reading reviews when I first got it I didn't see anything about the cords burning up. Wonder if it's a recent thing? Only thing I saw was they'd shut off if they got too hot.

    I contact Cobra and they said they'd get back to me. So we'll see what they have to say. I do love the cam otherwise though. The g-sensor works well.

    We took it apart and there doesn't seem to be anything obviously burnt/melted in there, but it smells awful. It has little diodes and things in it.
