Driving video
Just got a GoPro and tried it out for the first time last night. Nothing special just trying to get a feel for it. It was a little late (8:30pm) to get full sun but still turned ok. Can't wait for next weekend's trip to Peachland - will put it to full use!

edit: Awesome video too!
Thanks for the comments!
As I said, I'm just trying it out to make sure I get the most out of it. So first lesson learned - just upload my finished product and don't let YouTube 'fix' it!
I tried to upload to Photobucket but it failed about 1/2 way through. Anyone else have issues with Photobucket regarding vids?

Oh btw, I've been waiting (and waiting) for the GoPro to go on sale. This past week it actually did (Future Shop and probably Best Buy)! The camera itself did not go down in price however for an extra $20 I got the extra battery BacPac and the LCD BacPac - a savings of about $140. So if you're looking for one, it appears that some incentives are starting to make the rounds. This may have to do with the fact GoPro now has competition - the Contour.

I've made a bunch of vids with our (non-club) club but a few of the members aren't too keen on having their faces & plate #s on the web.... I'll have to keep that in mind for the weekend so I can put something together for here. http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/suction-cup-mount/
I'm still paranoid though so I'll be using a strap & hook it over the mirror just in case!

Cool video-They only thing I noticed as it was going through the years, is that you have a 1983 C4. There was never a 1983 corvette. It skipped that year and went straight to 84's. Nice video.
