Default 10" Digital Multi-function level with Laser Trac for Alignments

I picked this cool little tool up last week on sale for $35 from sears, they also had a smaller digital torpedo level but without a laser for $10 less. I opted for the laser for the reason of it being so handy to have and specifically for the idea I had to get my car completely level when I do my alignment. I plan to make some leveling plates to have in my gargage to do this. By setting up the plates and getting one side level I can set something on top of the other plate and mark where I want the laser to hit which is printed on the level, being 1 1/8" up from the surface. Then I just would have to raise or lower the other leveling plate till the laser hits my mark then level that plate. I'll post some pics once I do this next weekend but here is one showing the level on top of my hood.

I also just had the idea that this will be very usefull in getting camber equal on both sides of your car once its level. I just did this real quick to show u guys my idea. My garage has a slope into the drain so the car is sitting very unlevel as u can see from the level reading 1.3 degrees positive.
Too bad my wheels arent steel and the magnet would stick so I wouldnt have to hold it, jk jk . I will test this idea further and post more pics when I do my alignment. What do u guys think?
