Shoulder belt pad with the right name

Seat belt harness bothering the Mrs. across her chest? Pick up the "Tiddy Bear". The idea is not unique, but the name sure is.

Tiddy Bear. Makes ya smile just sayin' it. It just rolls off your tongue. Imagine the fun you and Mama would have when you get in the car. "Don't forget your Tiddy Bear, dear."

Oh yeah. It's a legit product and it runs about $20 with S & H.

The Blackjack Zero

This is pretty cool... the Blackjack Zero kit car.

More English language stuff, this time it's about abbr.s.
