I had one for a long time until one day I backed out of a friends drive way and it hit the asphalt before my wheel did and bent the eye. So be careful it will stop your car if it gets stuck.

i like your ignition relocation. you just gave me an idea. i'm going to relocate it to my cig lighter since i quite smoking =) or maybe inside the ash tray or whatever that little box is for in front of the shifter.
