Ya know? After almost a year of being here

I think we have a fetish for lights! Me included. We talk about headlights, fog lights (non-existent), road lights, corning lights, now smartlites. I wonder did we all grow up and were left in the dark by our parents? Did you sleep with the light on? Almost every newbie asks the same question....what can I replace the road lights that will match the HID's or what bulbs can I switch to to make the high beams match the Xenon's. Here's my vote:

High beams - Solaris $75 a pair.
Road lamps - Polarg M6

Others ?

Well personally, I am scared shitless by the dark. But mimes scare me the most. Those things are freaky.

I also ain't too fond of flying pigs.

Hey... for a sec I thought you stopped in the middle of the road. See that yellow double to the left of your tires? That's actually pretty nice. That way morons can plainly see they parked like a dope. Not supposed to cross the ddouble line. Even in a parking lot.

Just wait till your VSA and Check Engine lights come on and your D5 light begins to flash just as your tranny takes a shit.

I don't think it is a crack,it looks like a space in the salt residue, like someone rubbed against it or water fell on that part.

Ha ha... that's good Kavey! Those are Tl rims with 16" Blizzaks on them for that fargin white stuff on the ground. The spot on the bumper is actually a CLEAN spot. Those are rare duing the winter. Thgis winter it gets to rest in the white stuff and I'll put the miles on the 91 Explorer with 104,000 miles.

Last winter, all the guys from the Southwest were posting pix of nice clean detailed cars. Me, soopa, Shawn S and a few others decided to get under there skin by posting the dirtiest car pix we could find. I won.... I think Mikes18 told everyone to send me money so I could get it washed. Since I had TL rims on, I could go through a car wash. Never did get any money!

That's one weird-ass lookin "clean spot" Looks like a piece cracked off and you can see part of the muffler underneath.

Damn winter is coming soon. This year I dont have a winter car so I am going to be driving the CL in snow and salt. I hope all these coats of zaino will help my poor car.

Nope.... It has since been replaced though because some motherfargin' cork soaking bastages hit me in the parking lot where I work. $563 later a new bumper cover.

This is no surprise to me -
The first time I saw the road lights turned on, my reaction was, "oh, GROSS"

(and that's the ONLY time I've ever said that about my car. Well, not including the time I ripped a big hole in the bumper. :P )

You would take your car through a car wash . All you all realy need is a .... Car cover. Would that help keep the car clean or would it not work well in the winter. And does anyone have the car cover for there cl?

i have the car cover, but its difficult in the winter because it freezes in the shape of you car ... bad when you're in a hurry and first have 6" of snow to brush off it.
