i always found diode dynamics to be expensive when it came to their direct replacement LEDs like one of their reverse bulbs costs $90

This is my everyday flashlight with claimed 1000 lumen at max setting.

Yes 1k lumens. She has 15% tint on the back glass so it will actually be practical. I want them to be hilariously illuminating.

Or do you wear an actual jacket and then be forced to either sweat or inconveniently carry your jacket around?

and that's why I like Ga. even when it gets really cold it's only for a day or two. what sucks is low 30s and raining. it hardly ever gets cold enough to snow and when it does it's usually right after a rain so it just freezes and turns to ice.

i have the vleds 1000 lumens installed where the old turn signals went and the velds 500 lumens for where the stock reverse lights are...definitely helps backing up at night with out without a backup camera

Finding a new tire shop is tough. My buddy used to work at one and moved so another friend recommended where he goes for tires and alignment. Place had great reviews.

First time they put a directional tire on backwards. This time they didnt tighten two valve stems and I ended up with flats. Wtf...

I totally know what you mean... this is why I pray that my current tire shop's boss never retire.

He used to do my alignment too. There is another decent shop but I have to argue with them about toe. They think zero toe is the mid point between the accepted range not 0.0. other then that they are great about setting it to what you request.

Currently don't have "go to" shop to get alignment done. Every time it's hit or miss

This scene, from the tv show Bones, changed how I thought about things...



Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's right. Pittsburgh, where I'm from, all right? From the streets. Where you get a sense of how the world really is.

Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Yes, I'm sure that's true. But has it occurred to you that without the distortion of reality provided by a privileged upbringing, there'd be no such thing as the Sistine Chapel, the Taj Mahal, the Three Rivers Stadium, home of your beloved Steelers?

Special Agent Seeley Booth: The Three Rivers Stadium was demolished in 2000. But it was a great place, though, that Lambert...

Dr. Gordon Wyatt: No doubt. The point is, you rebel in your way, your friend rebels in his. We all of us have to overcome our upbringing, rich and poor alike.



I think about this when I start to be judgmental. "We all of us have to overcome our upbringing, rich and poor alike."

Some dude walked a block upto me tonight at the local mall parking lot asking me if I want to help him push his brand new Genesis Coupe with summer tires up the hill, and I said no cuz I own a BRZ. When I saw his car with the flashers from afar I was like LMFAO!!! then proceed to drive away in our SUV.

Then a Rubicon tried to race us at the lights. When the green light came we totally forgot to turn the snow mode off otherwise we would have whooped his ass!!
