Wow!!! Roo & Nemesis have certainly captured this thread & elevated rhetoric to higher level. I didn't notice one, "you're a freakin' moron"! either. Good work gentlemen.
The topic? Oh.... I remember winding through many a dark & stormy night with nothing but big round sealed beam headlights, one probably burned out, & here I am, still alive to brag on it.
Mmmmmmm.... sealed beams...four choices - High-beam or low-beam round, high-beam or low beam square. What'd they cost.... 3-4 bucks at K-Mart? In & out of the bulb aisle in ten seconds. NOW!!!! Go to the little plastic digital box.... Press 1. for English, 2. for Espanol. Press > to continue. 20 minutes & 20 bucks later I (hopefully) got a bulb that fits, but I can't touch because fingerprints will void the warranty. Opps...forgot to buy the gourmet plastic lens polish kit. 10 more bucks.
A doofus backs into your sealed beam & breaks it. Another 4 bucks & 30 seconds. A doofus backs into your "crystal projector lamp gatling gun array". Five hunnert bucks & we haven't gotten to the so-called bumper yet. A three-year old Civic is now declared a total in a parallel parking mishap.
Screw it! I'm gonna' climb up on a bar stool now. Where's my safety helmet?
Carry on. Ron.
