It's Big Brother looking for any way to deny a possible insurance claim.

[priapism]

Sure looks like a camera. It's a Caddy STS. Sweet ride!!

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

Um, put a sticky note over that shit fry some tires and report back?

Could be the auto wiper sensor, as that's where it's located but it doesn't look like one.

rain sensing wipers module (with wiper in intermitant low position only runs wiper if there are drops on windshield) and auto dimming high beams sensor (senses oncoming car and dips high beams if you have them on)

doesn't look too built in to be OEM. I would say the rental's form of "insurance"

It's not those sensors. Needs to be on the windshield.

you should find a bridge near a bar, remove the thing and throw it over to the bottom.
go back to bar order a few rounds and sit back and wait for the cavalry with vid/pic camera...

just for laughs :up:

[Dj Buttchug]

that is an onboard camera i think. GM as well as other automakers will be using these to record 30 seconds before a crash. At least thats what I heard. Also there may be a driver facing camera as well in the near future.

Radar for adaptive cruise?? thought those were in the grill tho...??

i like the throw it over the bridge idea the best ;)

I'd say go pick up some "ladies" of the night and do your business in an alley, using the cars headlights to illuminate things. Then proceed to get into a fender bender.

Just for laughs :up:

the hookers infront of the car..

But be sober and clean when cops show up at the bridge.. :mrgreen:
