I was exiting the work parking lot and my dash cam had JUST clicked on, apparently the audio comes in slowly.

There are some poor reviews on Amazon. They have since done a firmware update and 99% of issues have went way. It's pretty solid.

No, fuck that guy. If you don't have room to pull out cleanly in the regular lane, wait. Then if you really really can't, and you are forced to use the center turn lane to merge, use extreme caution. People who get out of their car like that have a special place in hell. Don't obstruct traffic just because you don't agree with something someone else did on the road.

I wasn't saying that, I was just saying that no, people don't understand. And having watched the vid, he is a fuking moron. Even if you did what he accused you of, thats no reason to get out and confront you, it was not commensurate with the "violation".

I flipped a guy off the other week for traveling in the center lane since he almost had a head on with me. He turned around, followed me into the parking lot, then into the sub shop, then followed me out, and threatened me with his gun after i got back in my truck... for giving him the bird.... I flipped him off again and he followed me to work. Its gated federal property, so he turned back at the gate. If he had crossed that gate, he would have committed a federal offense for bringing the firearm onto the property, let alone the trespassing. I would have radioed in to lock the gate and called the cops. He would have been so fuked.
The important part is that I was in my truck while he was threatening me with his gun, he could see my hand or my center console. AZ is a carry how you please state. He'll get his ass blown away sooner or later.

Yup mine has all the bells and whistles. Even has G force meter, GPS, on with power, standing mode, GREAT software, rolling storage, wifi.
I think i paid $189 then bought a 128gb flash drive separate.

Looks like the updated models are a little expensive. I may have gotten mine on sale.

Yeah that guy was a complete idiot. Totally his wrong. He was accelerating into traffic from the time he put his car in drive in the gas station to the time he brake checked you. Looks like he didn't even look and didn't even care if anyone else was on the road, he was ready to muscle his tiny little weiner in front of you.

how are you in the wrong, he failed to pull into the center lane... that's like the whole point of them. Now you could have let him go, but I probably would have done the exact same.

apparently pulling into center lane is illegal in MI. Still, you let him go and even stopped at the light. I don't see what the problem was -- had you actually run into him, I would have had the same reaction.

cant use the center to merge but everybody does it anyway.
I gave him room despite the fact that he was hitting his brakes effectively closing the gap himself.

Constructive criticism only:

The only thing I saw that you did wrong is perhaps that you made a right turn into the left lane. When the guy in the escape initiated his turn into the center lane you were just in the middle of the process of your turn and it could appear to the escape driver that you needlessly got into the lane he was trying to merge into. This to me would seem like a dick move were I in his position. When he initiated his turn both the right and left lanes of the road he was merging into were clear enough to merge into safely. In the the middle of the turn, all of a sudden there is a car in the left lane. It's his job to merge safely but at the same time I can see his perspective. Either way, he should stay in his f'ing car.

And yes, not brake checked you. (Ninja edit)

Braineack 12-08-2016 11:19 AM

Interesting. Exactly the same mechanical concept as the first-gen Honda Insight (the best hybrid car ever designed), but with added battery capacity to make it a plugin.

I remember there being a lot of speculation when a still image of this was posted a while back. I assumed (given the presence of the V8) that it was set up purely as an electric supercharger.

This pleases me.

My parents have a 2012 Chevy Malibu Eco. Same concept, with only a 15kw motor. I assumed when they bought it, it was a full-blown hybrid system. A few months ago when I actually looked at it I was very surprised to see a slightly oversize alternator with a supercharger belt.

I don't profess to be an expert on the regulatory issues surrounding HEV certification, but my understanding of California law is that a few MOSFETs and a bit of code are the only thing standing between pretty much 100% of "non-hybrid" cars and the sticker that lets them drive in the HOV lane.

And that's just sad.
