Adding a button to the dash of my car - help decide what it will say :)

I bought a Chevy Blazer the other day, everything is stellar, except the previous owner wired up a huge red pullswitch for the hazard lights in the dash of the truck. The factory hazard switch is on the column, which is fine for me, so I'm going to take the dash switch out. Partly because it doesn't need to be there, but mostly because it's huge and annoying.

I can't fill the hole in the dash and I can't seem to find another little cover for the part of the panel where it's been drilled out though.

Being a big James Bond fan, my first thought was to just go to Radio Shack, get a push button, and label it with a car gadget of some sorts. Of course it won't work, but it'll be a funny conversation piece.

I can't decide what to label it though. I've put a few I thought about in the poll, or if you have a better suggestion, feel free to post it :)

No pics, sorry, I left my digicam with my parents so they could use it this week. It's a green 95 blazer 4dr, they pretty much all look alike :)

I like the gaydar idea. I could wire up a couple LED's with "passanger gay? yes/no" on it. Then when you hit the switch, only "yes" lights up, like the pocket gaydar scanner for PalmOS :D

I'd go with the first option, but make sure you spell it right on the button...

"Passenger Eject" for sure! :Q Make sure the button is lighted. Blinking would be better.

Take apart one of those RadioShack recording picture frames and cannabalize it to play back something when you hit the button... label it NAWZ and record some dumb sounds like "ba-bada-baaaaaa... BWEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
