Don't feel too bad Nick......

Last night I was out dickin' around in the garage and noticed that the driver's side headlight on my '92 fox vert (original owner, might I add) looked a little funny. I went over to check it out and noticed that the entire assembly was broken loose, and their was brown paint rubbed all down the bottom of the front fender and bumper fascia!

I am guessing that someone hit it at a Walmart or somewhere like that etc. and that we didn't notice when we got into the car to drive home. I was able to buff out most of the paint and rub marks, but there's one serious gash left in the front fascia. These were the original headlights, so I ordered some factory Ford repo's last night.

Ah - Walmart. My wife hates that place. But out of convenience, she will sometimes go there. I drop her off and then find a spot close to the enterance. Fun to watch the people going in and out. Nothing like a front row seat to a human freak show... (No offense to any Walmart regulars!)

Well, the way things are slowing down at work, that might just be what I end up doing... That or one of those Chippendale dancer guys.

Ouch!! How you do that?
There was some jacka** waiting to turn south (left) onto 31 from Johnson and he was sitting too far back and too far to the right, and i wanted to turn north onto 31... didnt want to wait for the light to change so i tried to squeeze past him... and i got too close to the curb.

Aside from michigan, South Bend has the stupidest drivers i've ever seen.

I had to avoid two potential accidents yesterday evening coming home from work in the Escort. I had some moron in an suv squeeze between me and the curb when turning right at an intersection where there are red light cameras. Then a little while later a mini-van almost changed lanes into me.

I bet you are one of those guys that moves over to the right so you can be 1st at the light and blocking people from turning right

Nope, I was sitting right in the middle of the right turn lane, a separate lane from the rest. There's red light cameras at North ave/Rt 59, but there isn't a no right turn on red sign. Those cameras will take your picture if you turn right on red. This jerk squeezed in and almost took my mirror off.

Just got back from a Car show in downtown Dowagic, Mi. Over 225 cars. During the show they announced that a couple who always comes to the shows in a blue Convair had been in a head on accident and the Husband is in serious condition but his wife was killed.

A sad moment.

Ohhh...This is terrible. But it does show how the later day cars are safer I guess. But this is not the way to prove it.

Not a big Walmart fan either, it's just that we don't hardly drive this car but only to do errands around town- post office, picking up stuff that we forgot at the grocery, etc. So I'm blaming it on someone at Walmart, LOL.....

Yup, we announce the opening of another CG line. We will probably hire almost 100 team members. You need to go to Work Force one and tell them you want to take the test for the I/N compaines. After that test you will be called to go to Burns Harbor for another test. The people we are hiring at the end of the month (20 people), testing in the early spring time.
