driving video setup

Chris:
I am currently using some velcro to tape my camera to the dashboard, but I can take it out every time I want. However, I'm not satisfied with this way of filming, so I am thinking about something with a suction mount to attach it to the windshield. How do you guys make road videos? I noticed my GPS suction mount falls off sometimes, I don't want that with my video camera. I also want to avoid that it is very prominently visible from outside the car (I don't want to attract attention), so something low just above the dashboard would be best.

My current set-up:

The only time I ever did a mount when I used to film roads was to set the camcorder on a tripod. The legs were adjustable, so I could have the back two shorter, using areas adjacent to the passenger seat, and the forward one long going to the floorboard. It required some handstabilizing around curves and such, but it worked for the most part. Generally when I drove and filmed, I went slower, so that minimized the amount of stabilizing and maximized the filming of signs, interchanges, skylines, etc.

Chris:
I believe I've read it once that AAroads was aiming at offering a video of every Interstate mile in the United States. Is there still such a project, or is it mostly focused on covering the existing gaps in photography of Interstates? The road enthusiast community has already filmed a sizeable portion of the US Interstate system (think of Freewaybrent, Freewayjim, Bryant5493 and others).
