I think most would be too lazy to raise it up for winter. I mean it looks great for the other 360 days a year when there is no snow.

Love the Evo, awd is great. But it still sits too low for any kind of snow buildup. I feel bad for all who has lost their front lip or cracked their bumper these last few days.

The crappy thing about losing mine is that all the screwing around I have done in the snow I havent had one accident where I wouldve deserved it. Then while Im driving straight down a road doing 25mph, I hit something in the snow that I cant see and it tares the lip clean off... FML

Hey guys, so what inside camera mounts do you guys use, if any? I can't use my camera on the outside until I build a proper cage for it. Haha. I was looking at some suction cup mounts, but without knowing anything about it, can't be sure. Or should I consider mounting bars?

What kind of camera are you using? I love suction cup mounts. Inside, outside, windshields, windows. It has never flown off.

It's a Samsung HMX-Q10. The only reason I need a cage, or anything to protect it is that it needs to have the screen open to be on.

I only have two problems with this camera. 1. I cant adjust the FPS to create a nice slow motion capture. 2. The screen has to be open.

Right now I'm just taking a time lapse of the ice going away. Haha

I have done that with all my cars, maybe just an inch or so but saves me in the long run.

Yeah, just keep it inside the car for now. Looks like a pretty neat hand held.

It's pretty sweet for the price. The video quality is really good under 1080i. The switch grip is cool. But what they don't tell you is that you have to stop recording, flip it, and start again. I think the record pause works too.

It's a good hobby cam. I'm going to make a cheap steadicam out of my old RC drift car. Seems like RC axles make really smooth gimbals.

I use a Panavise camera holder for my hand held camera.

I just got a harness bar, and will probably put my Hero2 on there soon too.

Yay, BB Green is here. I didn't even know it was available. Is anyone in the NW planning on putting this in their Evo?

Nice -- What size and which TR rims did you end up going with?
