It's actually an LCD screen that clicks into the back of the gopro hd so you can see what the hell you're pointed at without having to guess. It also comes with a new case that extends to fit the new thickness of the added LCD.

Did you miss my previous statement in post #46 lol

"Oh man and the daughter's going back east for the summer to stay with the grand parents! Brown chicken brown cow! But I'm gonna need a cameraman Frank......You game?"

It's actually not a cheap proposition if you consider you have to pay for 2 GoPro HD cameras, 2 memory stickers, and then another $99 for the 3D case and cable. You're quickly in the $750+ territory! ......But I'm still doin it lol.

The cruise was some bullshit dude! Frank invites us all up into the canyons for some spirited driving and was all "hey guys, you wanna go eat at this cool little place I know?" We get there and there's a damn CHP appreciation day or some craziness going on "conveniently" across the street from the restaurant. Freakin CHP, fire department, county cops, FBI, CIA, Swat, Air Force One!!!! I left after lunch and drove behind a CHP pulling one of those "this is your speed" trailers for 15 miles! Freaking Frank man.....lock up your garages tonight is all I have to say. Dude's probably leaping rooftops looking for spoon motors a week before race wars or some shit! lol

...one of these days, we'll sit down, drink beer, and have an opportunity to talk about the storage facility of cars...at this time, I do not know what I will be bringing down to so-cal. I know that I will most likely (very probable) that I will bring one car down, but I do not know whether I will take a second car. I am still debating on the idea. I need more area for projects with my kids when we travel up north and also extra space to expand for S14 RB26. The space is there, but would be more comfortable with more space to spread out parts. Also the cars need to be driven, and they are once in a while, but not enough. Cindy was wanting me to take a group of guys up there to help prep some of the cars for a drive and possible transport, but I do not want to bore people with my cumbersome list of car things to do before starting them up and driving them around for a quick spin to keep everything maintained and up to original and/ or greater performance, and then prep them for storage again...too much work and demand to ask friends to perform with me.

We use to make a yearly drive up from the 4 corners (where 395 and 58 intersect) up the 58 through Tehachapi to catch this road called "Caliente Bodfish Rd". It's a ridiculous bowl of spaghetti that takes you up in the mountains to Lake Isabella where we park next to the lake for a photo shoot. Then it’s over to the 178 to Ridgecrest for food and coffee before heading back down the short way on the 395. It’s a full day trip about 230 miles all together , but it’s really good times.Â* The reason we made this trip was to check out the Indian Wells Brewing company up there ;) Any interest?

We usually meet up around 9AM at the four corners. We make a few stops along the way to gas up and stretch out. Then it's onto the caliente bodfish road. There's a historic landmark spot up there where we normally stop and and get out for a bit (~11:30). There's picnic tables and everything. They back in the cars over to the lake where we get out again for photots. The kids can play in the water and whatnot (~2PM). Then over to Ridgecrest for food and coffee (~4PM). Then people leave whenever they're ready to head back down the 395. Like it said, it's a full day, but you're only out food and gas money and it's a day of driving, lake, and phto ops. Oh, and did I mention the brewery lol. They make amazing cream soda and root beer. No homo!

There are a couple of cool back roads that make it a wee bit further but are a LOT more fun than the boring freeway that I will take you all on if you want. They are well worth the slight detour. O0
