Also, we need to recognize that 2014 is the first year I owned the Z and before that I drove things like pickups and low power front wheel drive sedans for ... like ... 30 years. The most fun car I had was a 1968 MGB (oh and the 68 El Camino) that I did autox for a year when I was 20, 40 years ago. I say this because my driving style will be far different and I may or may not be getting a wear level that would be comparable to you driving style.

I'm using the stock Advan that came with my 2015, but considering the POTENZA RE-71R for future replacement, they seem to be better than the advan sport and they cost less!

Nor as wildly out of control ...

Oh ... topic ...

Ordered the G1W-CB dash cam from SpyTec for $62.

Looking forward to a DYI on how you hardwire it. I presume that mounting this on a blend mount and tapping into the power at the mirror would work, but seeing as I have a lowly base model, I'll have to run power from the fuse block. I just finished reading that article and I think that's the one I'm going to get.

had a busy weekend. installed mag black painted door handles, carbon fiber fangs, full shine auto cf lip kit and of course a fresh wash afterwards

I'll probably just use the 12V plug for a while as I don't have power at my mirror either. I've got a GenTex homelink mirror sitting in my garage for several months now. I will hardwire the dash cam whenever I install the mirror

I should have just made my husband give up his Z and kept mine. It made more sense to have one we could both drive with lower miles.

fixed my ground wire and made my wiring a little bit neater back here
