The trip was great except for the rain we went through on the second day of travel. Not to mention the rushing we did to get to the show when we got here. Next year we will be out here a day in advance so I don't have to rush for the show and we can get there on time...

Fred the camera is great... Here are some pic's of it in the car...

Great Pics !! How does it look on the screen? do you get a wide enough angle to see what is behind you?

I'm not sure I understand the point of this except for just the coolness factor. I can understand it in a Suburban or Excursion but Vettes are so low to the ground already and it isn't that hard to look in the rear view mirror.
