You know "good buddy" for the last ten years or so has meant homosexual, and been used derogatorily, right? As far the dash cam, I’ve been toying with the idea of installing the same make and model that is favored by police agencies, but they cost around $2k for entry level models. I’m more interested in reducing my liability in the even I’m involved in a crash. I do have a collection of about 15,000 pics I’ve taken over the years, though. Mostly just scenery from the highway, so many are very similar.
