So I had this little camera/camcorder and I noticed it had the threaded section on the underside of it for the tripod.....

Sooooo when I was at the shop I found a bolt and some washers, and some nuts.... drilled a hole... and mounted it...


I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I mean it sucks I gotta hit record then get in teh car and cant stop it till I get out... but let me tell you, I am having some fun with this....

Ok, the first one was a crooked test run.....

Took it up to the street to another garage where no one likes the guys that own/work there, so I left them a small figt as I pulled outta their lot.....

Wow, are you fabricating your own violations???
"a U-turn while crossing a double yellow line"

That was a bussiness, and I simply turned into the lot.... then I pulled out. Not a "u-turn" per se.... No wonder your not the cop... hahahaha, I do a burnout and you worry about a legal TURN AROUND.... ha.

Just noticed you bascially passed my house in the video. LOL Were you going to that business for quality auto repairs? I think they advertise in the Penny Pincher...so they must be good.

Awesome! Throw those videos into windows movie maker and you can chop off the turning on/off the camera bits or edit 'em however.

That chevelle does look like a truck, haha.

This is cool!! They actually have a camera called the hero cam thats made for shit like this (racing dirt bikes, cars ,trucks, offroading etc.) that has like an anti vibration and noise filter type thing. I have no clue what they cost but if you have a camera sitting around that is a sweet idea man!!!

Oh yeah, I have seen alot of exterior mount cameras that are expensive....

Like you said I had a small digital camcorder sitting around, and with a hole, 2 washers, 2 nuts and one bolt with the same thread as the tri-pod mounnt, I was off and running....

especially because its at a pivot poin in front of (or at) the front wheels, so when you turn, it is different than what you feel in the drivers seat...
