Have replacement headlights really gotten so expensive that "refinishing" them costs less? Or is this just a scam? Last time I checked, replacement headlights weren't all that pricey: http://store.racer-union.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/SFV/32388/vpid/4817789/vpcsid/6267998/rid/126363 It ...

Hmmm... the refinish thing may work, but I'd be wary.

I'd suggest getting a mechanically minded friend to check into finding you some replacement headlight covers from the local junkyard.

good luck. :wink:

Used to.... I'd try to escape without the cell whenever I could. I just don't like talking on the phone that much. :x Having a couple hour drive in the car with no cell phone in sight was wonderful.

Just like that other war worked 30 years ago too? That was neither effective or capable in the end either...... I suggest you study some military history of the Vietnam war.

b) as for Welfare Reform being the be-all, end-all; I think you paint a lot rosier picture of it being a perfect solution than reality. Did it trim the rolls, a bit. Just remember that the Fed released a study or two on the effects that show that unless getting off welfare is the result of a job th...

I always enjoy these threads ~snip~ This should be treated like the Apollo program or even the Manhattan Project. but a) we can't have social welfare programs, because it would require cutting the corporate welfare programs we already have in place; and b) god forbid we get government involved in s...

Basically, you can thank the left-wing enviro-whackos for your pain at the pump. France gets 70% o f its power from nuclear, while here in the U.S. we haven't built a reactor in decades. New coal plants are near impossible to build, they throw hissies any time we suggest drilling for oil, nobody's ...

. . . Can't help but think that if our government and business leaders had addressed alternative fuel sources back in 1979 we wouldn't be in this death spiral of oil today . . . The government (Carter) did. But the next government (Reagan) believed that government had no business doing those kinds ...

"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!" ~ Ronald Reagan


So true, so true. :-?
