eyes in the back of your head
I needed some cash and to the atm I went. As I pulled into the bank where I do business I jumped into the atm only lane and sat in line behind a lady in a small car. After a few minutes I realized that she had gone through the transaction process quite a few times. Frustrated, she snatched her card from the machine and sped off. Feeling bad for her, thinking that she didn’t have enough to cover the withdrawal, I pull up in my new Chevy Z71 4×4. I pull out my card, enter my pin, and an error message jumps out at me. Thinking I did something wrong I complete the process again. ERROR. OK enough is enough and by this time I am getting frustrated myself! Instead of speeding off like the lady before me, I decide to just back up and go through the drive in teller line. Great idea, 5-8 minutes and I’m out of here. The bank sits at somewhat of a slope that leaves you”nose down”. I throw it into reverse and start to back up…......BAM
In all the goings on I did not notice the Chrysler New Yorker that pulled quietly behind me and tucked behind the view of my tailgate. Being the owner of a auto collision repair facility I knew the extent of the damage. Three years later, I’m in a hurry and I am hungry so I whip into Dairy Queen for a quick burger. I try to be health conscious and as I get up to the ordering window I change my mind and decide on something less fattening. Again, I throw it into reverse and BAM!! Brand new Hyundai Elantra. At this point I am ready to drive a small car myself. About the same time my wife purchased a Ford Expedition and she has an option on the vehicle that senses and warns you about objects behind you. What a great idea. I had to have one. But no one sold an aftermarket accessory that would accommodate my needs. In steps my friend Jared, and he tells me of a product he’s been researching, an aftermarket reverse/parking assistance warning system. And that is how Eyes Behind You got its start.
