Already posted in the biking thread, but I don't get to post here much these days, so I'll put it here as well.
New (to me) Kona Blast, and swing out Thule bike carrier.
P.S. Keep an eye out for my old bike carrier in the trading post.![]()
I'm looking forward to some dash cam videos taken through a broken windshield.
(Yes, I know you got it fixed. But, those things don't stay nice forever. It's only a matter of time.)
I've put 14,265 work miles on my vehicle since January, so I'm afraid you're right.

Eager to see some updates on how your dash cam works...
Found a good place for the solar powered charging ports. I think.
Here is a preview of the dash cam. This was taken before I hid all the wires and figured out that you can program the display to turn off. I'll post updates to both projects in appropriate threads when the time comes. When the display is off, the mirror looks like normal and the extra size is pretty nice. It comes with a lead wire that you connect to your reverse light so the rear camera turns on when you go into reverse. There is no GPS or speed on this model, just the date stamp. There are parking modes and shock sensors that will turn the camera on if something hits the car while parked though.

Do you lose any auto-dim feature your original mirror had, or is it built into the new mirror?
This slips over the entire mirror, so you'll lose all of the functions of your original. There are no fancy functions in the new mirror that I can tell. My mirror is just a basic mirror with no functions. You can still tilt the mirror like normal. The dash cam mirror has a blue tint to it that seems weird at first, but once installed, you don't really notice it, especially at night.

Irving, if you don't have them already, this set of step bits are a perfect size for drilling those Socket holes.

Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
