We made a video of a SN1 reaction with a 1,2 hydride shift. I am the H in HCl and Jessica is the Cl. The reactants are 3-methyl-1-butene and HCl. It forms a secondary carbocation intermediate which then 1,2 hydride shifts to form the more stable tertiary carbocation. The H+ attached to the more substituted carbon (girl in pink pants). The Cl- attaches to the + carbon formed after the shift (second girl from left). The product was 2-chloro-2-methylbutane.
Well as long as you understand it....

Excellent video. It shows another chemistry concept:
The final product is chiral. The carbocation is sp2 hybridized, which is trigonal planar. So the enantiomer produced depends on which side the chlorine attacks.
