@nibby68: My wife got this on her 3 series. She called me in a panic wanting to know what sort of horseshoe emergency her car could possibly be having. So close, but so far.
My old high school had a boot for harassing students without parking permits. The security staff in charge of the boot weren't very bright though. Case in point - one of my little brother's friends' cars was booted, but they forgot to lock the boot somehow. When the kid stopped laughing, he simply took it off and threw the boot into the bed of the pickup truck parked next to him. The administration tried to track down the boot, but pickup truck kid wouldn't give it back. Hopefully he sunk it in a lake somewhere.
@Filmomaker: The most common angle grinder wheels are for grinding metal at an angle, but there are also metal and masonry cutoff discs of various thicknesses, and well and sanding discs and wire brushes. Drywall? maybe if you got a BIG angle grinder? fwiw, this is possibly the best $30 I ever spent on a tool.
I designed that for an 8th grade science project, only mine had more ducted fans for propulsion. You gotta have some horsepower to get up those wheelchair ramps with little-no friction on your side! Too bad it would just get stuck if you tried to get on an elevator because of the little gap in the floor. I think I got a B- for this idea, but I'll give the college kids an A for effort for actually building one.
Adam, have you ever considered that there are people who really aren't sharp enough to do this on their own? The c-bill would be a rip-off for plugging in wires from the console to the TV, but Target is promising network and PC consultancy as well. Plus the guarantee to non-techy parents that their children can't play "BloodFeast 4: Carnage Catastrophe." That makes this a bargain for the non-savvy. Wouldn't you charge $100 to spend an hour creating Xbox Live accounts for 5 screaming children who can't decide what account names they want? Or to set up media center streaming on some 400Mhz PC with too much spyware to open the start menu?
@dwegmull comments for the purpose of obscurity: Yeah, instead of circles there would need to be a color in a specific shape, like maybe the play, pause, and stop symbols - triangle, vertical bars and square.
