I originally got the idea for this thing after seeing our local dent guy pull out this handy tool for blocking the sun while he worked....
Sometimes carrying a 12' canopy isn't practical or in the NSX, it just doesn't fit! However I love to drive with my TARGA removed but just hate being baked by the sun at car meets, etc. Using the sun-visor doesn't really help since the sun can enter through the targo.
I created this device with some parts from a local hardware store and it provides instant shade anytime. I incorporated a swivel base so it can be angled and the umbrella pops out in 5 seconds so it can still be used for rain if needed. Obviously this is not for use while driving but just to provide some much needed shade in the summer.
Friends commented it reminded them of the Pixar movie "UP"
hehe
Folds quickly for storage when not in use and quite useful, the suction cup is industrial grade and won't budge even in high winds.
