Yeah I saw several "worth it for free speech" and "it's only down because libs convinced companies not to advertise" and similar responses.

My favorite was "there are more things in life than money."

It should be part of the Standard Model that con men and rubes are magnetically attracted to one another.
 
For the love of your god joe please stop pretending Bari Weiss is a real journalist. And of course she loves the strike she thinks it helps the party she supports.

You know your God knows the games you are playing right joe?
 
I don't know how we got along without rear facing cameras. A simple mirror is always on.

Look, I know in the aggregate things like rearview cameras, lane assist, radar-controlled cruise control, etc. improve overall safety, but at the individual level, I think it absolutely makes some people lazier and worse drivers. Like I'm glad my parents have those things in their cars, but I'm also glad I don't have them minus the backup camera, which I rarely use in lieu of traditional looking over shoulder/in mirrors.

It's fine. Better than half the rentals I drive have that issue as well. My point is that this isn't a big deal unless the camera failed to come on at all. If it's a couple seconds while the car is booting it's fine.

I look at the camera and over my shoulder because I remember not having it. And while that is great for us there is a lot of people who use those cameras for better or for worse and if they are malfunctioning that is dangerous I don't care what kind of car it is. Writing it off because we are old is not fixing the issue.

Its not fine...and I rent cars all of the time (various models both foreign and domestic) and have never had that issue.
 
Don't know what to tell you. I've had two dozen rentals for work in the past couple years and about half the time (meaning at some point on a trip half the cars have the issue once or more), it takes 2-3 seconds for it to come on

Does that mean you turn the engine on and immediately shift to R? If it takes the view time to boot up I have never beaten it.
 
It was at least six months before I finally remembered to use the rear view camera when I retired my 20 year old car.

Start
wait for engine
screen turns on (2-3 seconds)
R
Wait
Camera


usually it's immediate. Like 90%+. Maybe more. But not always.
 
I guess I never notice because every time I press ignition I am futzing with my phone to put a podcast or audio book on. By the time I'm ready, everything is running. I am the slow part.
