God help you if you have a claim with GEICO. I had them for my Spyder and Lauren_TK's Vulcan.

Yeah, the camera got waaaay too much of your fat ass and not nearly enough of that cute Spyder in front of you . . . Oh . . . was that my outside voice? I'm gonna be sleeping on the couch again, aren't I?
