I feel that backup cameras have become more necessary as crash safety rules have become more stringent. The belt line on cars is really high now. You can’t see as much out of the sides or the back. My car from the early 2000s definitely had windows that were lower and I had no trouble parallel parking it without a camera. I appreciate the cameras on the newer vehicles. Easier parking is great but also… not running over little kids is good too I suppose.

I think Gabe has been getting healthy lately. Last picture I saw of him he was looking like he lost a lot of weight. Maybe repost this in 10 years and then we can panic.

Ha, I’m a December baby.

Can confirm. Class of 2000. 42 years old.
