SuWeeet! that is very good news. Now... the only thing stopping you from using it, is how to mount the video camera to the car. If your GF holds it, 100% garuantee the video will be unsteady.
I know I know, it's her camera, she'll want to hold it while you drive... lol
Try it out, maybe she'll suggest mounting it to the car for you, after she sees the video.
That is a sweet camera!
