The dashcam is a Black Box G1W. I got it off Amazon for $50.00.

I have it set to record whenever the key is turned (and stop recording when the car is shut off), but it also has a motion detection feature. Not sure what you mean by "edition" the video - if you meant to type "edit", then yes, the video I posted was just a clip I cropped from the full video, using VLC player.

Whenever my car's in the shop I set the cam to record audio as well - I have one clip where the mechanic is in my car trying to freestyle rap lyrics. Pretty funny.

Actually, I never said that anyone was "out to get me or screw me." I just asked what he was doing to my car.

edit is what I meant, was late for me, pardon the error, the older I get the less I can spell have a cheap one myself and was looking for one with better features, the motion detection sounds good. Thank you!

Then later on you notice water won't stick to your windshield.

If you clean your windshield really well, then apply the Rain-X as directed on the bottle, then use the Rain-X w/w fluid... you'll have no streaking. It's a great product!

That's what they do in Florida... No fear of freezing. Until you drive to NJ after an oil change and the bottle splits wide open.

Speaking from experience.

Or running a screw into it

In my area it hard to find washer fluids. Even some parts stores do not have it.When I lived I Mich every place sold washer fluids.
Their nothing wrong with using just water. Some people make their own by mixing in about a tablespoon of dish washing soap. In the freezing areas adding in some rubbing alcohol.
In case any wants to know washer fluid has water and methanol ethylene glycol or alcohol. Some may have some kind of bug remover.

It looks like he's pouring cat urine in the engine bay to repel mice. Commercial grade cat piss is a genuine GM product.

Looks like a sloppy window washer fluid top off to me

Mice in the engine is the least of my problems:

My other thought is the mechanic is blessing your with holy water to exorcize a demon. Several months ago I posted a video on the forum of one of those ghost tv shows where a guy was claiming his 3rd generation camaro was possessed by a specter!
