Good luck selling it...it's illegal to have a TV screen in view of the driver.

I came to this thread thinking someone snapped a photo of my car. That's why it's on a visor. Flip it up and you're set. This set up is legal.

"...SO CALL ASAP BEFORE THIS OFFER PASSES YOU BY...."

the seller won't be paying attention and won't notice the buyer anyway.

If you blare on the horn, you think it goes "blliiiiiiiiiiiiing" ??

One of my younger (black) worker has 6 in his car. Even has one in the steering wheel (in the center).
It seems to be a Black status thing...spinners and TV's. Whatever happened to Caddys, fat ass white walls, curb feelers and the goose hood ornemant with the green flappy wings?

It's not a 'Black' thing as you put it. It's a West Coast thing that has trickled over. It's been made popular by shows like 'Pimp My Ride' on MTV hosted by Xibit. I didn't see much if nothing about mounting screens everywhere until that show was on the air.

Ain't that the truth. I was living in the DC area at the time and had to go the distance of 10 miles. That distance took me 2 hours to accomplish. I could have finished a movie or watched at least three half hour sitcoms.

I remember going through a McD's drive thru and the car in front of me was doing that.........going up and down.......:lol:
They paid their money but had to go past the pick-up window as the car wouldn't stop going up and down.

When I got to the pick-up window the guy asked me where they went....:rofl:

When I went out the parking lot the car was parked but still going up and down :rofl:

I must be getting to be an old fuddy duddy...I think TV's in cars (except for a DVD in the back for the kids) ought to be outlawed, as well as cell phones, McDonalds/etc food eating, stereos for anyone under 25 (they all should be forced to listen to AM talk radio golden oldies or Mozart...under 70 decibels), make-up application, checkbook balancing, laptop typing, text messaging....and any other distraction that may cause all of the other idiots in the world to launch their 75 MPH, 3000 pound guided missile towards me and my family.
