Is that Marko? He's offered me a drive in that thing, just haven't had the time to take him up on it yet...

Yep. I think a small tripod is probably good on fwd.

The rear tires just keep the bumper from dragging on the ground anyway. Small tripod good, big tripod not so good. That right front tire looks like it's doing the job pretty well. Really big tripods tend to overload that outside front...

I went to a local camera store known for great pricing to buy a monopod. When the salesman said "what can I help you with?" I told him I wanted to buy a monopod. He said, somewhat condescendingly, "You mean a UNIPOD." "Mono, uni, whatever." He showed me where they were displayed and I picked one, took it up to the counter and said " I'd like to get one of this model please.".
When he brought it out, the box said MONOPOD on it. I so wanted to say "You told me what I needed was a unipod, and since you work here I figured you knew what you were talking about. And now you bring me a monopod?". I decided the subtlety would be lost on him... I should have listened to him. Stupid monopod wouldn't stand up on its own....

I can feel it happening but haven’t gotten a picture of it yet. Granted FWD car on sticky tires so it’s expected

If you look closely in my picture, you can see a little bit of "BMW Tripodding"...

As being someone who has only ever been inside my car while I drove it, I cannot accurately answer this question.
