I really enjoy driving my car. Its handling enthralls me. Its cabin coddles me.
Yes I have human friends.

The Toyos are working better than I expected, and still show decent life.

Last tank(s --19.409 gal, 526.5 miles) 27.1MPG of Mobil premium.

Well it's been a wonderful new year of driving (out last night in a white-out blizzard, roof open, Linkin Park concussing on the Rockford Fosgate), blasting over familiar and unknown roads, enjoyment overwhelming me.
Who cares about gas mileage (last tank Mobil premium 23.1 MPG).

Tires work really well on slick roads.

Do you know what we should have done actually? Buy you a dash cam for your Kiz at Christmas! :P We could have all chiped in and bought one. We would be able to see your ''driving habits'' lol Linkin Park... great band!

I had a Go Pro and wanted to take some footage this winter, but I went under water at 30 meters...took some water...I should probably get another one, but it is so expensive for what he does and I basically never used it. I would love to show my friends and other people how the Kizashi handles well in the snow.

I want a GoPro too but can't justify the high cost for something I will barely use. I then discovered that there are a ton of cheap Chinese knock-offs for a fraction of the price. Some are even 4K. They may not have the fancy features or the quality of a GoPro, but given that most people seldom use theirs, I think it's a wiser purchase.
Gearbest.com and similar sites sell a bunch of different brands ranging from $50 to $200. They vary in video quality and features based on price. If you select a product that's at a US warehouse, it ships reasonably fast. Otherwise, China warehouse products can take damn near a month to arrive with their free shipping. It's about the only complaint I have with Gearbest. That being said, they are a legit website that greatly caters to tech geeks like myself. I've personally purchased about 20 items from them ranging from $3 gadgets to a new dash camera and a drone. Satisfied with every single purchase.

I totally agree KuroNekko. I actually looked into the SJ4000 which is comparable to the GoPro 3!
