T-Top Funhouse Mirrors!!! I'M FREAKIN OUT MANNNNN!
As I was readying my car for winter hibernation the other day, i set the tops against the wall on the opposite side of the garage (wanted to let moisture dry out before storing). As i went around the car swapping the stock wheels back on, I was greeted with an image so fantastic I had to grab my camera.
Shot number one - the melt down
while it was amusing, I didn't think much of it. So I continued with swapping the wheels and after finishing I noticed another great image from a different angle. Sorry for the poor image quality, its actually a really nice camera but I didn't bother messing around with the settings/lighting. maybe in the spring.
Shot number two, I give you - DUB magazine
clearly, we could be on to something here. Now my challenge to whomever else is as artistic (or easily amused, call it what you will) as I am....

This reminds me of when I take off a glass t-top and use the bottom concave (mirrored) side to reflect the sun into various people's faces.. 
I know, I'm 12.
Nice pictures....I'll have to take some tomorrow!

You also have to be careful what is around your glass T-tops if you prop them up bottom out next to your car on a sunny day. It turns out they have a 2 foot or so focal point and will light small objects like leaves on fire if placed in just the right (or wrong) place. I discovered this last time I was out working on my car when a nearby pile of leaves started smoking.
