That's pretty nice. Don't forget to use it before it expires. That's apparently quite common.

I don't know when it expires honestly. Was hoping to wait until summer sales start.
mirocu
Dec 26 2022, 09:41 PM
Well, make sure to note if it does have an expiration date. Me, I'm gonna go and see if the garage is open tomorrow so I can book a date for them to install my extraljus.

External highbeam headlights, whatever they're actually called.

Oh I see.
I've seen them, but they're not super common in my places in the US, and I don't know what they'd be called in English.

I put some of those on my MGB back in the early 1970's to be able to see much farther on dark roads at night when going too fast. Then in the 1990's I had some on the roof of my Baja Bug (chopped VW beetle-based dune buggy). We called them driving lights.

That car is required to have those lights on the roof by law*, so I'm glad you had them

It's weird there's no better name for them apparently. It actually baffles me
*Not really

Down here in Khajiitland, we always refer to those kind of lights as “KC Lights” regardless of what brand they actually are

Mrs. Khajiit has another name for them which refers to the general type of person who has them down here, but it’s not a nice term, and I don’t think it applies to anyone here so I’ll keep it to myself, lol

Here, we called them off-road lights, KC being the most popular brand. I never used them, settled for big fog lamps instead.

Maybe those lights aren't such a thing in America? Over here pretty much every car has them.

There are those who add lights because they have a need for them, e.g frequent fog, and those who who add them to look cool. The latter usually have them incorrectly located, badly adjusted, and turned on at the wrong time.
Most European cars come with fog lights, and there are always people who turn them on all the time. The same models in the USA typically don’t have them,
because people would do that.

Yeah, around here, it’s mostly kids that add them to their ridiculous jacked up trucks and jeeps because they think they look cool. They do like to drive around with them on and it can make it hard to see if they get behind you.

When that happens I always turn on my warning/hazard blinkers and don't turn them off until they turn their highbeams off. It actually works. Of course if I meet someone with highbeams on I turn my own on too. Not to be a jerk but it's the only way I can tell them to turn them off.
With these new ones on that'll be even more effective

I don't celebrate New Year. I keep getting flashbacks of Y2k doom-watch, when the software world failed to melt down. I still had to man the phones in case our customers panicked.
And only GMT counts. All other times are bogus, or at best derivative.

There was an error on my drivers license, they had my Date of Birth wrong and because of that mistake I can't buy a gun till that's fix.

Y2K, I do remember that non-event. After 17-years working grave yard shift in a large bank's data processing department I forgot how to celebrate New Years Eve. New Years was the one holiday DP Operations was required to work, year-end books had to be balanced by next opening day. Double time ane a half on the pay check was nice though.

Never ask for time and a half if you're a knight caught in a curse that immobilizes normal activity in the castle and that asks you questions about the future you can't possibly answer. Just wait for a dude walking around in his pajamas and a computer mouse in his pocket, he'll take care of it
