ReplyDelete"I have got to get me one of these!"
I love it! That was hilarious. I didn't see that coming.
That would be so cool!! Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be soooo cool cause I'd never have to look for a close parking space again.
ReplyDeleteI loved it...maybe in our future :-)
Happy Friday!
Giggle. What on earth? I definitely don't want one of these. Do you know how fast I'd lose it??
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely an invention for a woman. A man would never want that because they like everyone to see what they are driving! haha
ReplyDeleteSweet! :D
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I want one!
