Wow! Glad to see you made it out okay! And which dash cam are you using? Good quality, I could zoom in on my phone to read the street signs.

glad you are ok, put proves to me, about maybe seriously running a recording all the time now...

Rusty · 09-24-2018, 10:52 PM

Glad you are ok.

This just sucks.

Watching that video. I seen it coming, and couldn't do anything about it.

It is a Thinkware F770 2channel, it comes with the rear that is 1080p also. Just to think, I almost got nailed a couple of weeks ago in another car by a G37 not stopping at a stop sign! It happens at around the 33 second mark.

if you live in SoCal, you NEED a dash cam!

It's worse when you don't. LOL I had a little glimpse in the mirror, that's it.

I got rear ended in my Power Wagon in 2010 at a stop light. I seen him coming and he wasn't slowing down at all. I couldn't do a thing about it. I had cars in front of me. Hit me at about 50 mph. A 7,000 pound truck really helps out to absorb the impact. He did $3,000 in damage to me. He went under my rear bumper. And totaled his ferd exploder. It bent the frame at the middle. Couldn't open up any doors. He had to climb out the back hatch. After he hit me. I jumped out of my truck to see what hit me. The kid was still in the drivers seat, holding onto his cell phone. Saying that his brakes failed.

The bad part. His grandmother is my neighbor.

And I know his dad. I wanted to kick his azz so bad. It didn't hit me until the next day. Felt like I got kicked in the back. And I was sore for a few days after. The kid bruised his sternum, a sore jaw and a black eye from the air bag is what his grandmother said. He's lucky that I didn't break his f!@king neck.

Thinkware is a good unit. I run the model X550 front and rear in my truck. A good source of reviews and info is www.blackboxmycar.com. I got my stuff from them. Top notch service and support.

That's as close as it gets. California is known to have some of the worst drivers.

Since your buying another Z, are you going to add/remove the options your first one had?

Those hidden injuries take time to heal.

REVRAY · 10-09-2018, 11:26 PM

Glad you are okay. Never had an airbag deploy, I can only imagine it is quite an impact and would suspect a little shocking. Glad you can replace the vehicle!

envisous · 10-10-2018, 12:01 AM

Yeah, it was like Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield were fighting over who got to get to turn the stations in the car! Them things hurt like heck, and the smoke from them deploying , leaves you coughing and trying to breath for air!
