You're going to have to get us a driving video!

Unfortunately, I do not have any sort of video camera.  I use an old style flip phone, so no video there.  My digital camera has a limited video mode, but no sound.

I'll have to think about who I know that can fold in/out of the car that has a better video making source that would be willing to ride along to make one.

Is there a local tech school that may have a video class? Bet you find a young person that could fit and would love to make a video, maybe even for a class project.

It passed inspection today - with flying colors.  I didn't even get changed to base fee as the inspector liked the car.  It drew everyone's attention when I pulled up.  It also drew lots of attention from other drivers on the short drive to/from the service shop to get the inspection done.

The next step is getting the title/registration application submitted on Tuesday.

Nice find Michael.
Along with the LED bulbs maybe a 3rd brake light would help get some light in a more visable position in the sea of SUV's out there.

Third, high mount brake light is already on the list for that very reason.

Oops.  I just made a recommendation for you on a 3rd brake light in another thread.  Looks like I should have posted it here instead.  Anyway, take a look at it Michael please.

Hey Bruce,

Actually, the other thread is now the better place for posting recommendations and comments as I do the tidying work.
