I'm thinking that driving one handed whilst holding a video camera/cell phone and recording the escapade might have been just as dangerous, if not more so. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

It might say that he was a passenger Paul, but the camera position is directly behind the steering wheel.

I used to have a picture of that Steve. But when I started running out of HD space on the old box, it got canned, along with a lot of others. But I think this is the same principle.
