My suction mount seems to pop off 99% of the time when I'm not driving and there's no unit on it. I'll come outside and the mount is sitting on the dash. I had the mount come off the window maybe 2-3 times with the navi on it, never came close to going out the window but I'm still a little nervous about it happening one day.

I have a story, this was last week. My bank and I were in a dispute over 4 non-suffient funds that were wrongly charged to my account, and the proof was my deposit slip. Well, I was driving on a bridge when all of the sudden the stupid deposit slip flew off the cup holder and gone!... I said no big deal, but then the thought of losing my dispute scared me. I went across a shallow grassy median, U-turned, and pulled over on the shoulder where this happened. I was relieved as I saw the slip just being blown by the wind up against the retaining wall. I jumped outta my car barely setting the e-brake, then I started running on this bridge chasing the slip as all the motorists slowed down to see what was going on. The S just sat there all lonely at a distance, lol. Yes, the bank reversed all charges after demanding the slip...

once back in college, I had a '90 accord ex at the time.

me and a buddy of mine were driving around some empty country roads smoking a joint that we just lit.

when I went to ash it out the sunroof, the wind kinda yanked it out of my hand, and it flew loose.

in a quick reaction, I hit the brakes. and as luck may have it, it flew right back in the sunroof, and landed on my lap.

I dont like looking down when it comes to a navi, I like the idea its just the location that leaves something to be desired.

Awhile ago, my gf and I were on the expressway. I had asked her to pack my cigarettes so I can have one as I was fiending for one already. We were going about 70-80 so the wind was pretty strong. So she's slapping the cigarettes into her palm and next thing I see, the pack of cigs flies out of her hand. She either didn't have a good grip on it or the wind took it out of her hand. Of course she blames it on me and tells me I was going too fast and the wind took it out of her hand. WOMEN.
