The 5 Funniest Events Caught on a Car Dash Cam


Have you ever heard of people setting up  auto-mobile dash cameras? Mainly such devices are used to record potential collisions or other insurance matters. However, from time to time they have been known to capture events ranging from strange to spectacular.

 Here are the top ten events caught on a dashboard camera.
1.)   Free loaders have been known to hitch a ride on passing cars. Certain dashboard cams have recorded the event in question.
2.)   Sometimes road rage leaves the vehicle and enters the street. Some dash cameras have recorded angry pedestrians venting their rage on unsuspecting cars.


3.)   One user’s submission was of a man pulling a gun on him! Luckily no one was injured, and the event was recorded by the car dash cam.


4.)   The image below is precursor to a multi – truck pile up, all recorded on the auto-mobile dash camera.

5.)   The image below is perhaps the most startling of all – the meteor that recently fell over Russia. I suggest you watch the video to get the full effect.



Do you have any submissions regarding auto-mobile dash cameras?

Which cheap Japanese import cars do I think are a good car to start learning to race?

You want to start racing as an amateur but you are not sure what car you are exactly looking for, but you are considering buying from a large list of cheap Japanese import cars. Well the list is big, but easy to manage once you know the specifics of the cars you want.

When it comes to cheap Japanese import cars you have the choice between front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, and all-wheel drive. Each of these drive trains have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Here are some cheap Japanese import cars that I consider a good start in racing. I have further separated this category into specific drivetrain.

Front Wheel Drive
·         Honda Civic
·         Honda Prelude
·         Acura Integra
·         Acura RSX

Rear Wheel Drive
·         Nissan 180sx
·         Nissan 240sx

All-Wheel Drive
·         Subaru Impreza

These are models between the years 1990 – 1995, they are easy and affordable to tune and upgrade, and also they are very affordable when looking for insurance for japanese import cars. When looking for a good place to find insurance for Japanese import cars, start by calling an insurance company that you, and your family and friends currently use because sometimes they are willing to make a deal with you if you have more cars with your current insurance provider.

What other kinds of cars out there do you think are cheap and possibly a good start for racing and why?
