I see it, I believe it, but I wouldn't like people to think I'm any weirder than they already think I am by using it. :lol:

Leigh, mount it in the SLK and Gary can take photos of himself while driving. It is a steering wheel isn't it? :wink:

You can fit 12 Lightspheres on top and then you'll be arrested and placed into a psych ward for the rest of the year.
