we call those Texas pinstripes here..... i had them all over my last truck.... hard not to when you are out at the ranch every weekend!

I have them front to back and top to bottom. I use my truck as a truck. It's not the first ones I've put on there (I've had this truck 3 years) but they are the newest.

The point is protection.

 

Example.

 

Kid was on his phone and turned right in front of me.

 

He told the cops that I ran a red light and hit him. The cop believed him until I said I have a dash camera.

 

A dash camera is protection against other people and insurance companies. ANYONE will lie if they think they can get away with it. People are not honest generally.

I've been wanting to get one of these as well. I have a new licensed driver in the house and it scares me to death.

Accident happened Friday night. And had a check in my hand from his insurance Monday. Was kinda hoping they would try to fight me.

They are worth it. And in most cases it's cheaper then your deductible. I have the thinkware f770 and it's awesome.

 

Also you get some funny videos. Like this one. I'm going 70 in a 60. And there's a semi getting on the highway. I put my blinker on WAY before I move over. And this guy gets right up my ass. My truck is lifted. I COULDNT EVEN SEE HIS WINDSHIELD HE WAS SO CLOSE. So I slowed way down.

We get them goose hunting too, you'd be amazed what a corn stalk can do.

 

And yes the first one hurts the most. Had a nice line on my last truck from the headlight to the tail and everywhere in between...

I grew up in Nebraska, I'm intimately familiar with what stalks can do to a truck AND your skin [emoji23]

Dash cams can work against you too however. In the event that you're at fault, you have to turn over the video.

 

I would like to get one anyways though. I think one that has an auto-on would be helpful for parking lot incidents when you're inside a store and come out to find someone backed into your car and left.

The thinkware f770 I have has a front and rear camera that has the parking mode. If you're at fault you should accept responsibility anyway. But they wouldn't know about a video unless you tell them.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
