I had a little incedent happen to me a few weeks ago with what we call "roadrage " I wish i would have had it on film for myself. Really dont want to go into details about it but i surley would persue it more if i had it on film. Anyway getting back to the org. post, anyone use or have a dash cam in their auto, if so what brand and whats your opion of them ?

You can get this model or close to it for $17 if you look around.

Cheap enough to see if it's something you like or windshield visibility is impaired. Don't be fooled by 720p or 1080p as most of them are 480p and the rest is done by software so not truly HD. You can spend up to a few hundred dollars but get the cheap one first. Search youtube for dashcam videos to see the quality.

I used to use my Motorola Droid as a dashcam once in a while. The car charge/dock was perfect for that. If you have a smart phone, you may already have what you are looking for and just need the right mount.
