Oh, and to add a few more to the original list:
4 to discuss meeting-up, whether they will be attending the upcoming car/show/race/event, and generally say "how ya doing..." 1 to ask for someone to come over and help him remove and change the light bulb 2 to volunteer to help, but say that they are really too far away |

Sometimes it ain't a bad lamp..........though metering shouldn't be necessary for voltage availability of course.....
  ...and does anyone even care how many posts they have?!? Ridiculous....  Happy Friday...

I need more pictures.
Really. No... not of the douche, but of someone changing an actual lightbulb (yeah, initial reaction was one word). Or a before and after set of shots. I'm on the fence about bulbs.

1) How much lighter than ordinary bulbs are they?
2) If you only replace the front ones, will it make the the front too light and cause understeer? 3) What is understeer? 4) Has any one just run a wick from the gas tank & used an oil type lamp? 5) Are they legal in California? 6) What is the best way to store them in winter? |
