The drive home from Menlo Park, dropping one of our guys at SFO on the way, was big joy-time. 125 miles in 3.5 hours. I love the bay area sometimes.

I get bored so I look at cars. Remarkable vehicles I saw, along with their sighting frequency, were:

350Z 14
240Z 1
Nissan Leaf 1
Toyota Echo 4
370Z 0
Ferrari Enzo 0
Nissan Juke 1 (mine)
Assorted Riced-out Acura/Honda/Mitsu 53
Toyota Prius 4,325

brutal. Here I thought the traffic congestion in the GTA was bad. I'll take what we have thank you very much.

How many Tesla did you see?

hahaha. if you dont have one already, i recommend a tripod to hotshoe mount as that mic had no shotgun 3/8" screw hole on the bottom of the hotshoe for some reason.

Thanks for the reminder about the tripod to hotshoe mount. I need to maximize my orders when buying from the US.

Hi Mr. Gale!

Sadly no. Woke up with worse vision than previous days and the drive in was pretty scary. If I can't figure out what's wrong with me, driving may be cut for me.

they also sell tripod mounts for gopro's which im sure you already know which take the standard 1/4" screws.

ive seem folks diy using the box and a nut, but that' just too much work for a $7 part. lol

hahahaha.

the bacpac LCD is a must-have i think. i set it to turn off automatically at 120sec which is plenty of time to setup the camera inside my car, check the aim, etc.

Then you at least have it easy!

I hate putting money towards a diagnosis. That money could go towards wheels.

Thanks for the tip. I gotta download the manual and start reading. I'm just busy with other stuff. Don't have time to work on my car.

Also, my wife has forbidden me from working on my car. She's scared at the thought of it falling on me. She still wants me around for a while.

remember the rule pint, walk one mile per one slice of pizza. then the money can go to your wheels, not your heart.

hahaha

jokes aside, hope your vision get better soon.

I've given up frequent pizza eating because of your rules already!
