I have a camera on board at all times in all cars/motorcycles.

As for the a-hole that changed his story in your case, does he not realize that some people don't get mad, they just get even.

Imagine how nice and empty our roads would be if only drivers who were clued in, got driver's licences.

Sad to hear but at least it's a minor incident.

No driver's license? Really? I'd imagine that will be a bit of a problem for her. And btw, if I ever happen to be in your neighborhood I think a full set of emergency strobe lights on the roof is in order.....wouldn't want to get hit!

Oh, I like your idea of the Euro non-Turbo front end. Very clean look. The Turbo front end can look a little visually "heavy" on the front of a NB car without a rear spoiler and/or RS rockers for balance.

Totally agree, it's also a very "classy" clean look.
