Today I tried something a little different with my GoPro. I was hooking up with a local car club for a nice cruise, so we mounted the camera on the back of my friend's car filming backwards towards the convoy. Unfortunately, it didn't really work all that well.

I made sure to drive real close to my friend's car, much closer than I would normally follow, but the wide-angle lens makes it look like I'm very far away. The cars behind me in the convoy can barely be seen (except when my friend stops to make sure we've reached the right bridge). And of course there's hardly any engine sounds, just a bit from my friend's tailpipe (and the booming of his subwoofer in the trunk).

See for yourselves...
