Yes I have the Escort Passport 9500ci. The screen is mounted in the top left corner of the windshield so any warnings catch my eye that way I can keep the beeper off.

Default what's the dashcam model you use?

Hi,
Great video!
I think I noticed a dashcam mounted near your center mirror - which brand and model is that? I've gone through a few myself and was wondering.
Thx

Nick, what tires did you have on the car in the snow sequence?

Thanks for the video!

I like the silver rev gauge, I don't really notice the color difference with the other dials (mainly because the awesome driver information dial is pretty colorful) and at night, it looks as black as all the other dials anyway. I like this color changing behavior, it's really effective.

Sure, black is a free option, but it's something that sets the S apart from the non-S. Paying $860 for white or other color gauges seems crazy to me...

I agree. Frankly I don't see the appeal for the free net or smoker's pack though either. I have no need for an extra outlet and I feel like there is more than enough storage for a car of this type. Never used either in my Cayman. Might just be me but I didn't order any of the "free" options. Maybe if I drove 24k miles per year like the OP I'd feel differently about the options in general.

Hi Lou

Pirelli Winter Sottozero's, I had Blizzak's on my last car (M3) and these seem just as good.

I think the net is a no-brainer if you have a black interior, since the net "disappears". But in other colors, it really stands out, since it's always black.

It's also too bad that it is not big enough to hold a US sized liscense plate. That would be a great little storage pocket for the front plate. "hey occifer, see, my front plate is right here in the nice little Porsche storage net!"
