    Looks more like truth in advertising to me. Nobody can complain about false advertising with ads like that!

            Ouch! That's more than just a complete shutdown...that's an attempted wipeout of the woman driver!

            It's witty though

                        I got a reverse light switch for that much, not too bad in my opinion.
                        I also got a wheel center cap, a bit expensive in my opinion!

                          Sunnies ON.

                          Hat OFF.

                          Beware the female returning from a game of bowls, driving her Volvo while wearing the hat.
