I cant decide where to put my camera... Either A. Behind the back seat pointing forward between both seats... B. On the passenger A Pillar pointing out the windshield C. In the grille of the front bumper... I think i'm leaning towards A... But I dont know what kind of glare the laptop will give while its open.

Are any of the wireless cards still available? I have my laptop and I will buy a cam this weekend if I'll have wireless access

I beleive so. I will have 12. I'm trying to get 16. If anyone wants a wireless card of their own they are free and cost $60 a month for unlimited use.
Send me an email to Sean@newenglandrally.com titled Wireless Card and I will send you the contact information of the place I get them from. This will also help me because I won't have to cover the cost of your card.

What did you use, it looks like a plant hanger. But the video is pretty good!
I am using my sony handy cam, then I can zoom past the driver seat and stuff.
(IF I FIND A CO-DRIVER)

I had changed my plan and was going to mount my cam on the front window...while pushing the velcro tape onto said windshield I cracked the glass due to a prior rock nick...bugger. When I tried to run my web cam from the back cam mount I made I got only glare on the windshield...So have to play with it some more...after I get my new windshield today.
