Time to invest in some Xexon lights! They're supposed to be good for 10 years!

Still not sure it was worth the extra $465 for them. They are a little brighter though?

You think those are a pain, then try replacing your grill! It came loose all of a sudden, and there goes my skin. Ouch!

Changing these things is a pain in the rear! Hopefully I'll get motivated tomorrow when it's a little warmer.

I'll stick with $40 and two new bulbs. I lost skin when I put them in the first time and it doesn't help that it's cold now.

Actually I don't blame you. It sounds like quite a process that goes into changing over to the Xenxon blubs. At least accorrding to some of the threads I've read.

Yeah, I lost skin changing out that freaking grill! No way is the OEM one ever going to go back in! lol

I helped out on a crazy wreck Sun night. A Dodge truck was hauling booty down E Rosedale out by 820. The driver (believed to be drunk) lost control on a straightaway and left the roadway. Hit a ditch and rolled several times (went about 250ft before stopping) and eject himself and two passengers (drunk as well). Another passenger (drunk too) stayed in the truck somehow. There was a trail of debris from the road to the truck which included 3 wheels/tires, a street sign, truck pieces, the shoes off the drivers feet, beer bottles and a 6 inch piece of shin bone from one of the passengers who will be shorter when she leaves the hospital. The bottom half of her leg was facing the wrong direction!

Wow, they're starting off the new year a little early aren't they?

Last week it took me about 45 minutes to get the 8 miles to work since some guy in a truck had spun out on the bridge over Lake Worth going over the 820. So they had the sand trucks out and were sanding down both sides.

Yea, it was all I could do to keep from launching my flashlight at some idiots that morning. I was working the wrecks on 287 with knuckleheads passing by in the lane next to me at about 60mph or so.

That's going pretty fast when there's ice out there. It's supposed to get cold Saturday night again. Do you think the roads will ice up again?

I'm going over to Arlington and back on Saturday night. I had some ice on my car last Saturday night when I was there. About a quarter of a inch on top.

Who knows about the ice? It is supposed to be dry like last time when we had the mysterious frozen fog!

Well, my plans changed anyways. I'll be staying local.

Check this out. Granatelli wants to use some pics of my car in their gallery!

Hi Bart... I would like to use some your car in our gallery. Would this be OK? I see an underhood shot with our CAI and a list of mods that I can use. If this is OK, can you send me some more pictures of your car?
