I got my wife in the habit of watching tv/movies with the caps on back in '08 when I started this job. Working in the comm center, you can't have the TV volume up 'cause it might bleed over your radio when you key up... so we just always turned on the captions... got so used to watching tv like that, it just didn't feel right when I couldn't read what they were saying...

I just wish Amazon Prime app was available on more devices. Seems like everything out there has Hulu, VUDU, OoVoo, doodoo, caca, poopoo, and whatever elementary word for fecal matter as a streaming video app, but not all of them have Amazon prime. I pay for prime, I pay for netflix, I pay for cable and internet, I'm not going to pay for every stupid video streaming app out there to catch the shows on them that the others don't stream... end rant.

That is specifically designed for folks who don't have the electronic background to wire up a forward looking camera. You have your spotter ride up there and relay to you the sorts of things you're about to run over.

UK Top Gear is awesome. U.S. Top Gear is suck.

and you can't chromecast it. really cutting themselves out of a market with the major players. Make it a wifi accessible icon instead of buying their crap equipment

And yet, you can download and install the app on XBox 360, XBox One, PS3, PS4, Sony BluRay players... kinda dumb how they pick and chose what devices their crap is available on.

It's all a marketing ploy. By not offering chromecast support, they can say they pulled it from their store for not allowing amazon on chromecast. No one will look much farther than that.

I don't see that rack allowing the hood to buckle properly in the event of collision which is much more probable due to visual obstruction it creates.

Same as anything else but less expensive (I assume) because there's only three bits instead of four.

But the front wheel has this whole weird setup for steering because it's just a single wheel. Idk. Lol but I did see the spectre DB10 drift around so that was cool

Yes it is. The spare might be 8" tall. That rack is much taller. And would likely be piled even higher in use.
