I did that with HWY 17, I had my camera mounted between the two front seats so you can see the dash and the hood (bumper in too low IMO), only downer was that I hit stop and go traffic the whole way .

Too low? Have you seen footage of a good road with the camera at that level? The inside view of the car is pretty boring to me, when you have it mounted outside of the car it looks really damn cool! Also, by mounting it that low it makes it look A LOT faster!

Its all possible... The flip camera rocks sooo hard! I love this damn thing! It takes quality video, 60min run time stored on flash memory so there's no moving parts which means that it will never break Its so small that you can just tape it to your car with two pieces of duct tape since its smaller then my phone is.

The raw video that you get before you compress it is REALLY high quality... I was really amazed. Now they make an HD version for $50 more... The stardard one is like $140, the Nano is like $150, and the Nano HD is $200
