Ya, the instructions for changing the universal one to the different makes read like a space launch prep. Or assembling Ikea whichever is more confusing and complicated.

That's what I'm thinking I may do. If it's over 40 bucks I'll probably pass though. Don't need it that bad

Looks like about $20 for the real thing. Not even worth messing around with universal ones.

Ideally I'd get it from Amazon cause of the free 2 day shipping. Need to do some serious looking into it, as usually it just slips into my head and I think "hmm, I wonder what they cost". Another task for the weekend

Edit: This one looks like you don't need a working remote so should work fine if you jump through the hoops to set it.

A few years back, I had this (FlashToOpen) for my motorcycle. Basically, flash your high beams, garage door opens.

I loved it, always there, never needs a battery and is hidden from view (an issue if you park a car outside with a garage door opener and you wife refuses to lock the inside door to the garage)

I keep meaning to do it on my cars (although usually since on bikes it works with just about any 12 volt system).

it is available through Amazon.

For me, Sinko de Mayo is truly a day to celebrate.
Few people have come to know the “true” story of the origin of Sinko de Mayo. It is my pleasure to set the record straight.
A little known fact is that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York.
The ship hit an iceberg and sank and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
Go out on this day, grab a couple of slices of Wonderbread and a jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise and have a party. You know I will!

Maybe I'll look into that. Is it a pain to wire though?

Loco why would a German immigrant to the States have a French invention made by the English?

So I guess this works just like the wireless flash system originally from Minolta?

BTW it also turns out the selfie stick was a Minolta patented product from 1983 to 2003.

Hm... I'm not sure. It's a wild guess, but height &/or size of the car might be the cause? Visually they see it in the view, but the brain isn't recognizing that it is a car or moving. It's kinda like eye's blind spot.

...or they're just jealous of our slow car and wanna be a d!ck bout it. lol

Ever since I got my dashcam about a year ago I have 6 recorded incidents where the driver tries to merge on me, normally followed by me beeping the horn and a few expletives..

Seems like the common theme is the driver can't see the 86 in their passenger side blind spot.

So I try not to sit in other cars blind spots, good defensive driving technique..

To evade the crash, sharp braking in a straight line(as long as there is nobody tailgaiting you) will get you out without a scratch, just remain aware and vigilant at all times..

And since it was all lost they took it out of @humfrz pay since he was responsible for getting it there safely.

Sounds about normal actually.

Well, here the thing though. I wasn't in her blind spot (at least I don't think I was). She was turning left into the road, instead of keep it in left lane (2 lanes), she went all the way into right lane (which I was in). She was going to jack-knife me on driver side door/rear quarter panel. I went out 1/3 of my lane and while doing that, scratched my wheel

OK Georgia. Enough already.
