Oh, I'm still here, just not very active - at most things -

I did do my annual check of the oil in my FRS. It was right up there.

My next project is replacing the drivers side mirror, that I half knocked off, when I hit a tree, while backing up - hell, that was about 9 months ago -

Good to hear from you. Another couple weeks and I was going to call you.

Reminds me, I should make sure my car has oil too.

Speaking of reversing: My wife's '24 Forester has a back up camera. At first, I didn't use it much, but the more that I drive her car, the more I use it. My 70 year old body doesn't twist around like it use to even though I work on stretching exercises.

My new truck has like 18 cameras. I don't know how it does some of the things it does, like the overhead view. It's my first vehicle with cameras, and took a while to get used to them, but they are pretty awesome.

Yep, mrs humfrz CRV has a backup camera. When she lets me drive it, it has two backup cameras. One on the dash and one from her swiveling head.

At age 84, I try stretching exercises, when I put my socks on ...... after several attempts, I usually take them in to mrs humfrz and ask her to put them on for me.

I added a backup camera to our 2004 Suburban about 10 years ago. It was nearly impossible to park anywhere before that.

My LYRIQ has lots of cameras, including a rear view mirror camera (where the rear view mirror is actually a camera). I didn't think I would like it but it's so much better than the rear view mirror (which it also has, flips between them).

I technically know how they do the overhead view, but it still amazes me. For those that don't here's a good short that explains it.

I also love the front view camera which comes on if you get within a few feet of an object in front of you.

I can tell you that those overhead cameras are pretty damn accurate. Ive used them when guiding cars into my bay at the shop. I can get em racked and in the air rather quickly.

I fixed it for you. My truck has that too, but I lost it when I added the shell. I bought a relocate kit to put the camera on the back of the shell. I just need to install.

The hitch camera is also great when hitching up a trailer. I sure like my new truck.

Thanks, corrected. Yea I have the hitch view in the Lyriq as well but haven't added a hitch to it. If I tow I use the Suburban.

I also bought the camera that mounts on the back of a trailer. Bought it for my enclosed car hauler. Also need to install. I can't wait to see the "invisible trailer" feature.

Man I have a lot of projects...
