It's amazing, I never knew I needed those lights. I fucking hate the douche bags that drive around with aftermarket HID headlights. They're way too bright, not to mention illegal. Same goes for the retards that don't understand that hi beams shouldn't be used in town and that they need to dim them when there is oncoming traffic. This seems to be more of a problem now than in the past.Quote:

Agreed, It's not just that those aftermarket $15 dollar HIDs are bright. It's that the beam is diffusely spread all over the place and blind anyone coming the other way. Not sure how they are even legal.Quote:

Plus, the visual contrast from the blue beams is far inferior to the more yellow-colored quality lights.
For something completely different:
Not all HIDs are blue. The best & brightest ones in fact are not.Quote:

You are right and there are cars that come stock with legal HIDs, however the "blue" HIDs are illegal, the color specifically, and other HID kits are illegal because they don't focus the light properly.Quote:

#1 will surprise you I bet. I was waiting for more Beatles or Stones.
They aren't. HID bulbs require reflectors designed specifically for them. Installing HID bulbs in non-HID reflector housings is illegal.Quote:

The fact that this wasn't #1, shit not even in the top 20, makes me angry. (Riff begins at :32, of course)Quote:

Well that was all over the place. Some of that(Survivor, WTF?) doesn't even register on the scale of classic, recognizable riffs. No surprise lots of Zep and AC/DC.Quote:

132-Year-Old Winchester Rifle Found At Great Basin National Park
http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com...le_nps_600.jpg
The rifle, exposed for all those years to sun, wind, snow and rain, was found leaning against a tree in the park. The cracked wood stock, weathered to grey, and the brown rusted barrel blended into the colors of the old juniper tree in a remote rocky outcrop, keeping the rifle hidden for many years.
Engraved on the rifle is “Model 1873,” identifying it distinctly as a Winchester Model 1873 repeating rifle. The serial number on the lower tang corresponds in Winchester records held at the Center for the West at the Cody Firearms Museum in Cody, Wyoming, with a manufacture and shipping date of 1882. But the detailed history of this rifle is as yet unknown. Winchester records do not indicate who purchased the rifle from the warehouse or where it was shipped.
Winchester Model 1873 rifles hold a prominent place in Western history and lore. The rifles are referred to as “the gun that won the West." A total of 720,610 were manufactured between 1873 and 1916, when production ended. In 1882 alone, more than 25,000 were made.
^^^^ thats pretty cool.... I get this picture in my head of an old cowboy on his deathbed still trying to figure out where the fuck he left his rifle after he took a shit.
And no Foxy Lady? :nonono2:Quote:
