That's great! Why didn't I think of that?!

Is there a certain status conferred when one has a sunroof? I wasn't aware of that, but, then, what the hell do I know?

I fell off my chair just now...

What a riot! I have heard of fake cell phones and fake beepers, but this is taking it to a new level!

I love this question "
Q: Will this work with my convertible? Aug-17-07 A: If it has a solid top you can use it."

Back in the late '80s when I worked at Columbia U in Harlem, there was a local umm "entrepreneur" or "personal motivational consultant" who drove a '74 Eldorado convertible with a blacked out clear vinyl sunroof in the convertible top. Now that was stylin'

I think the ad said you could even put it on your hood. Why not? I mean your engine compartment deserves a fake sunroof just as much as you do.

I'm thinking of marketing a full-sized cardboard replica of a Lambo that one could install right over their POS rice mobile. What do you guys think? Would that be a hot item, you think?

You know, you can get those bullet hole stickers to go on your car at novelty shops. Maybe they carry the fake-leaky-sunroof decals there, too. Of course, you can always drive through SE Washington, DC and get genuine bullet holes your car if authenticity is your thing. . . .

Be careful when you roll the real one back!

Classic. I'm impressed that so may folks are prepared to screw with the seller. Someone ought to ask him whether the tint is UV-rated.

My favorite question:

Q: How does the sun get thru the roof? Aug-17-07
A: The sun wonīt get thru the roof, because the self adhesive sunroof is a sticker that gives your car the look of a real sunroof, but you donīt make a hole to the car.

It leaked a little after the new flapper but it's holding now.

Hall toilet is leaking now :/ There's a pun in there, I know it.

I wonder if they make stick-on windows? I could use one of those in my office. I actually thought about sticking a photo of the beach up here. Never realized before how depressing it is to sit in a room without a window.
