What to do with trailer hitch when not in use...
As I am taking my GL on a long trip to FL from CT I decided to leverage the existing trailer hitch to add a fourth brake light.

I've got one of those from a while back, but I can't use it on my GL. I mean, I do have the conversion plug to go from MB's to a four-pin, which this is. And it does light up when I hit the brakes. It fits in to the receiver, too. But ... it says "Ford" on it.

I recently saw a light switch plate with a Kokopelli on it.

Nice! I am sure drivers behind will appreciate that.
