^^ Nice find!
So while the vid is uploading to youtube, let me tell you the tale of the drum canyon fail vid. First a couple disclaimers. One: I'm not a professional driver & this is not a race car, it's my DD with a few minor upgrades. Secondly, I'm not a proffessional filmographer.
I got a mini tripod & some little bungees @ WalMart & strapped my digi camera to the p-side headrest. Seemed pretty secure & the camera said I had 91min of free space, so off I go. Well, I probably got a llittle carried away, went into a left turn too hot & ended up in the ditch. Thank god I didn't go off the other side of the road where there is no ditch or guardrail to keep me from heading down the side of the mtn.
So I pull over at the first available turn out to assess the damage & review the vid so far. Memory card full? WTF? It had stopped recording minutes earlier! Damnitalltohell! Luckily there didn't seem to be any real damage once I brushed off the dirt & reattached the under bumper trim.
Here's a couple pics I took once I got into town:

There was a bunch of dirt & crap crammed between the tire & the rim which I dug out w/ leatherman, but you can still see where the tire is not seated all way.
So, after that little scare I reduced the resolution of the vid to conserve memory, replaced the camera in his spot, & was much more careful for the second 1/2 of the canyon.
When I watched the 1st 1/2 it looked perfect as far as the camera's ability to see thru my dirtyass windshield. I had to dump that to make room on the card, tho. I don't know why, exactly, but for the 2nd 1/2 everything outside the car is all washed out so you can't really see what's going on. Real shame.
I'll try to fix it by adjusting the contrast or whatever, but I don't think I have an .avi editor. YouTube now says:
Uploaded (processing, please wait) so I will post vid for your 'enjoyment' when it's ready.
