They speak English in Luxembourg? Strange.
Not really. Pretty much everybody in the world speaks English now. They (Europeans and Asians) take it early on in school. I think they speak better English as a second or third language than many Americans do and that is the only language they speak.
Agreed. I was in Iceland recently and everyone spoke English, most of them fluently and more coherantly than what I deal with daily.

Okay so I finally hardwired my dash cam to be on 24/7. (parking mode)

Right now I was viewing the footage and I actually got a couple of funny/cool reactions.

I’m gonna make a compilation video when I get more and post it on youtube. Kind of like the lotus guys. (The secret life of my lotus) lol

I'm curious about your setup. What cam are you using and how did you go about hard wiring it? Does having the cam powered up all the time drain the battery?

I have this Blackvue DR500 It has a power magic pro device which allows it to be on when the car is off but if the battery starts draining too much it automatically shuts down the camera. The camera has GPS capability, Wifi and records in 1080p HD. I’m pretty happy with it.

I had a car sales man today ask me in total seriousness if I wanted to trade my s2000 for an Honda accord. He gave me a dead serious look lol, not very good at finding people's interest.

Car salesman are typically clueless to auto enthusiast needs and simply pander to the most common denominator of what most people want. His big selling point probably would have been with the Accord he could upgrade you to an automatic.

Dude. Automatics are the best.
Manuals are pointless, they're lighter. You don't want that. You want more heft to your car =P
