I was only 19 and really trying to find out a vocation. There was where I met my first friend that had a cool VW—lowered primered – he had long hair and was from some other city – he got the girls for sure.
I was used to thinking only my 57 chevy was cool !
I had several teachers there that helped me sooo much -- I wish I could tell them how successful I was and be able to give them a compliment .

Such is life.

10-10-15 in Natural science, social science, and humanities and 15 English -- is that your first year?

Jerry

Love the side stories! WA. is a beautiful state, but expensive as hell!
Like the highest gas tax, high sales tax like CA. and it's turning into a toll-road state. Anything but make the rich people pay more.

But the cars are pretty rust-free, except they are starting to use salt in some of the overpopulated areas!!...not good.

my back yard the other day:

this is an example on a silverado but i would just take led strips such as these ones

and stick them on the underside of the bumper



Though we seem to have hit a tangent, this ^^^ is what I did after shaving the front fenders and adding mexi bumpers:

I just spliced into the turn signal wires and adhesed them with some silicone or something. They fit right in between the body and bonnet. no adjustment required

The sales taxes are pretty bad but there is no income tax so it really works out to even less tax then even Idaho. And ya not Sure what the deal is with the toll roads, some of them are the federal govt's doing, I HATE public toll roads. And ya My mom paid 125 to fill her suv So I'm not complaining about the 40 for the bug yet but its getting discusting. Especially on the west side.

Those are awsome !!!! I was thinking I needed a side blinker, the ones in the bumper don't quite cover it . Great idea!

Yes, I had to add LED side repeaters to mine too, people seem to miss the low bumper ones.

those are great also, they look like the side markers on jettas. it would be really helpful if someone had to do alot of merging.

I had this moisture problem in my big blinkers up front. I took a can of compressed air and dried them out well, then put a small spray of WD-40 inside the lenses of the blinker put it back on and now, no more moisture Smile
