Just out of curiosity to those on here with dash cams; what's the point?
Have you ever needed it or used it for anything besides showing the wife the deer that you almost hit?
I have one, and it's running all the time. Never have I needed it for anything.

I am hoping to get a picture of Fox that is in my neighborhood. A few years ago he crossed in front of me at a stop sign and I have seen him while walking the dogs. I might be extremely lucky and get a pic of Bigfoot and can send it to Art Bell. :alien:

I use a Go Pro for a dash cam; my wife was going to the store last week and the car that was in front of her stopped at the stop sign, then pulled out into traffic and got T-boned (cross traffic doesn't have a stop).
Cops came, my wife showed them the video, case closed (we did provide copies of it to the cops, the woman that pulled out and the guy that hit her).

So this was once that it was for insurance, but not for us.

**Note** The woman that pulled out knew she did it, knew the cross traffic didn't stop, and told the cop, "I just brain farted and it was my fault".
This was before we showed them the video.

Don't forget. That dash camera can incriminate you as much as the other person.

Amazing. I have never met anyone who was in an accident and was their fault. I don't know why.

Ever seen those Russian videos of people jumping out in front of cars trying to do insurance fraud? How about someone lying in an accident that you did it when the other person was at fault?

If in Russia and in an accident, forget about the dash camera. Just make a contribution to Putin.

A rear view camera is listed as a possible option for the Elio, but where would the viewing screen go? If a Skyz in present I am sure it would be used as the viewing screen. But if there is no Skyz (as will be the case with my vehicle), where would the viewing screen be located? Any ideas?

Aftermarket screens and rearview cameras are pretty cheap. You can replace the sun visor with a screen, for instance. Buy a pair for $100, then give/sell the spare to another elio owner :)
