    @Sticks Calhoun: I'll see your jet Beetle, and (even though it's hardly new) raise you an MTT Y2K...

    Purely for the fact that you have to be certifiable to ride one :o)

    I hope to someday get a grant - maybe from YouTube, possibly a vision or mental health foundation - to distribute cheap tripods to amateur videographers everywhere.

    It would certainly do wonders for MY sanity, at least.

    @FredicvsMaximvs: It would be nice but I myself am more likely to bring my camera places when I can just throw it in my bag and go rather than lugging the tripod along as well.

    The "Caution, This may kill you" sign would automatically make you want to try it. That and the lure of getting your eyebrows burned off from the exhaust of the other jet.

    Except for a colonoscopy probe, is there anything that isn't a million time cooler when you strap a JATO unit with it?

    @TBM-Fan: Oh ye of little imagination.


    Mount dual jet engines - one under each armrest.


    For an extra fun challenge, have a separate throttle control for the left and right jets for steering and, if you can get enough thrust, altitude.


    Also, make sure the casters are well-lubricated and tool around the kitchen on the linoleum.
