Ohhhh... this is SO my next MOD!

Take the look of the "skark fin" antenna and ratchet it up to "11" baby!! Red-hawt-ness!!!!

But wait! There's more!

It's even chromed and flashes... (swoon).



Quick Robin! To the Batmobile! And a total steal at $9.99! How often do you get SO... MUCH... VALUE... for so little scratch?!?!?!? Don't outbid me now, mmmmkay??

Of course, since I don't have a roof, I guess I'll have to use 2-sided tape to stick this right to my bonnet. That's right... I AM a jenius!

YOU stuck giant sunglasses on your car, so I'll give you a free pass... THIS time. If you'd made the glasses GLOW, I'd ask you to marry me. Oh, well, nobody's perfect ('cept me).

Wow... it's like Christmas in February! The same eBay vendor also offers:



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4X-Sk...mZ190084289401

Skull lights... for the UNDERBODY! It's like someone has been peering into the very depths of my unquiet, troubled mind, then channelling my darkest desires to some heavenly design team in Hong Kong! Eerie!

From the description:

  • Extremely Bright Blue High Intensity LED Lights , which can make your car sharp.
"Sharp" is an understatement... they should have said "WILL make your car an irresistible chickz0r magnet!" I guess they probably couldn't spell "irresistible". "Magnet" was probably a stretch, too...
  • It is in particular shape.
I'll say!
  • Each skull is a single unit. It could be connected to your car separately.
Oh. My. God. You mean... I can stick one of these just above my MINI logo, sort of like a Figurehead of the GLowing Damned?!?!?! Where the hell is my credit card?!?!? (( slaver ))...

With all that, my MINI will need to wear sunglasses if she looks at yours!

I wonder if the fins and skulls come in Union Jack???

Of course, you could put some LEDs on a steaming pile of dog crap and Matt would find a way to zip-tie it to his car...

Is that a dis? I realize that my lighting mods aren't everyone's cuppa tea but dog crap?

Besides, that's easy... Just use Saran-wrap to shape and hold the material, and remember to not clamp down to hard with the zip-tie, lest it squirt out of the ends of the "containment field".

Matt tell me you haven't been exparimenting with dog doo. You have a very large dog, you'd needs yards & yards of Saran & hundreds of LED's.
