    “But it’s got a transparent rear window and you got a neck that can fucking turn” is such an ignorant statement. There is a reason it’s illegal for new cars to not come with a reverse camera. They are a huge safety advantage, without one you have a giant blind spot when reversing. If there is a child standing behind your car, and it’s less tall than the lower border of your rear window, then it’s invisible to you and you will run it over when reversing.

    Aftermarket reverse cameras are cheap af and easy to install

      The 1999 Toyota Corolla doesn’t care.

      It takes your Safety Regulations and spins donuts on them without a seat belt.

      Also if a child hides under your front wheel and a puppy climbs in your engine while you’re in the store, you’ll never see them without undercar and in-engine cameras. We should stop driving until cars put those in place.

        Don’t forget a trunk camera in case someone gets in there to prank you. And a backseat camera because the seat I’m in makes a blindspot when I turn around to yell at the kids I ran over before to shut the hell up or I will turn this car around and not go to the hospital, so help me god, Aiden. And one in the glove box so I can make sure I didn’t lose the owner’s manual so I know how to switch between all these damn cameras.
