    With the crowd you run with, you'll need those for the mandatory reception monkey knife- fight. I got $50 on Coco.

    Got the backup camera mounted today. I can't see anything out of the back window and my guesswork has been pretty shitty lately. Don't know how I ever lived without one.image.jpg

    I love my back up cam. Never had one before and probably would have said they were for chicks, but now that I have one, it's great. I wouldn't mind every car from here on having that feature, and I'm sure the gubment probably will make that a requirement at some point anyway. It's handy.

    I back in everywhere. I absolutely love my backup camera. Whenever I drive her car (not often) I get angry when I look at the dash while backing up to not see a visual. Rage mode engage.

    Adding the camper + removing the tailgate (with camera) has made parking challenging in the last few weeks. It was frustrating looking up at the screen and just seeing blue.

    Some would say that it's a "crutch", but it's more like a 3rd eye. Stray children and wayward ferral cats are now safe when I'm backing up.

    Felt that way when they outlawed smoking in public places. Now I can't imagine live with cigarette smoke everywhere.

    Favorite back up cam moment, In Big Bear with with and sisters in the Prerunner, a spot opens up so I go to back in. Wanted to get perfectly straight in the spot, so I backed up to about an inch from some dude's new mercedes, I happen to glance up to see A guy standing up at the restaurant nearest to us at the outside eating area, just wide eyed and waiting to hear a crunch. I pull back forward, straightened out and we go about our business. As I walk by him I see him staring at me and I just laugh and say 'Back up camera, man, calm down'. He laughs, I laugh, the toaster laughs, I shoot the toaster.

    You know what they say: "Once you go back, you never go...or always go... I can't remember how the saying goes. I think it had something to do with genitalia.

    Yea, its usually the people that don't like new technology that don't like back up cams and the like. Yes, I hate having the means to eliminate the blindspot behind my truck and look forward to running over all the neighbor kids when they go running behind the truck for that pesky basketball that goes flying under my truck. That shit happens like once a month when I'm leaving for work. Head on a swivel and all that, but a couple times I luckily glanced at the camera in time and saw a kid picking up the ball like 2 feet from my bumper. Its almost time to install backup beepers lol

    I really need a back up camera with my tundra. The camper makes it harder to park and at night I can't see shit.

    Haha! I saw a t-shirt that said, "I like my women like my coffee- chopped up and in the freezer".
    Disturbing, but kinda funny...

    I like to fuck with the new guys when they ask if I want coffee "I like my coffee like I like my men, hot black and strong, or white weak and sweet." And then sit back and laugh as they realize what I just said get all flustered.
