I'm thinking that next year I might install a dash cam in my Tahoe. There are so many yahoos on the road that it might be a stress reliever for me to start posting videos on YouTube of some of the morons in Lubbock that should not have a license to drive . . . or even be allowed outside their home. :insane:

the coolest thing I have seen yet was a FJ that had a FLIR thermal camera dash mounted with a screen that flipped up. The guy that owned the car installed it for night driving though the mountains after have 3 close calls with moose (very hard to see at night , eyes don't reflect light so you usually don't see till close I guess) ive always wanted a thermal camera after that ha, but a cheapest model new runs around 2500 without the monitor , wiring , or anything.

The only camera that has caught my fancy so far is the ChaseCam HD DIVA ( http://www.chasecam.com/node/201 ), but I'm not reading much that's good about it in low light conditions or hot days.

Wonder why some of the companies that make systems for the police don't offer something to the general public that is simple to operate?

Dash cams seem to either be low-priced or two grand plus, with not much in between.

I never knew something like that was available for the general public -- http://www.flir.com/cvs/americas/en/transportation/products/pathfindir/
