Looking at getting a dash cam. Want some opinions on what is a good affordable dash cam. I've looked at a few but not sure what to get. What do you guys that have them think are good ones

Check Amazon. Lots of choices and reviews. I buy damn near everything on Amazon these days. Don't like it ? Send it back!

I got the KDLinks X1 on Amazon. It's like $150. It's got GPS so it knows where you are and how fast you're going. It's also got G sensors so it can lock the video clip if it senses a sudden jerk or halt. If you have a continuous power source, you can set motion sensing so it will start recording if someone hits you while parked. Those at the main features, but if you want all the specs just look it up. I'm really happy with mine so far. I looked at the Garmin cameras and decided against them for a couple reasons. One said in reviews the suction mount partially blocks the camera. And the other one doesn't have a mic, which I think is an important component.

Spoken like a TRUE Amazon junkie!

I wish I had one today to post "how not to drive in high winds"

I was going 45mph with my flashers on...nearly empty in MO high winds. This truck came flying by me...with a fishtailing trailer. I kid you not I moved to the right to avoid being hit.

He had to be doing over 60 going downhill. I thought he was going to pull into flying j when he pulled in front of me. Nope..he kept right on going..with a swaying trailer all the way.

Watch your trailer people. Smdh
