  9. I never thought I'd be sayin' this to a lady, but wouldja mind showin' us yer knob?
    Seriously though, I've always loved crystals. I always have them in sunny windows wherever I live. I'd love to see yours and see how you installed it. I prefer to keep my bus as original as possible, but there's always room for rainbows! ;D
