hhhhooooowwwiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes me feel good when another person agrees with me on the same issue. don't know what i'll say if they disagree. maybe i'll get depressed or go workout..... anyway, these sylvania silverstar lights are not top of the line but they do work for me and for you too, florida roadie. i'm not into spending 100's of dollars on some h.i.d. system just to make them look good when the silverstars work good for me.

still having some issues with www.car-stuff.com about the rampage guards for my nitro. once the deal goes through and i get them, i want to install some offroad lights on them and eventually get a roof rack or bar light like you mentioned and install some more lights and also install a air horn up there. while we're on the issue of lights and stuff up top on the roof of the nitro, where in the heck will the connection for the power to the lights be installed? thru the roof? down the rain gutter, inside the door, down the door pillar then to where? connect onto the rear brake light system? connect to the rear light assembley? just don't know!!! thanks again florida roadie, just a heads up issue that i will tell you about southwest louisiana, if you ever visit this area, "DO NOT SPEED", the law enforcement think that giving tickets for speeding to anybody will put them in line for sure to go to heaven!!! unless you are law enforcement yourself or you know a state representative or you are a rescue personnel or if you know that persons background that pulled you over or if you "know" someone in law enforcement then you may get away with a warning but i just don't know..... if you know the name of the president of the united states, this won't help you, but if you know the name of the president of the national rifle association, well that may work!!!!!!!!!!

if the law caught up with the ex, they'd have to have enough tranquilizers to bring down king kong before they would want to wrestle the beast to the ground!!!

one thing i'll let you know about the law in southwest louisiana....during hurricane rita that hit our area, we were without power for almost 2 weeks so we did alot of traveling from louisiana to texas to new mexico and during this time, we never once got stopped by a cop and we travelled at speeds of 80+ most of the time in 70 mph zones. well, after getting back home and leaving for work one evening, i was running late because of all of the extra traffic due to utility work crews making repairs and national guard on the roads and mega traffic, i was pulled over by a sheriff deputy from my own parish,(yes, i said parish, i think louisiana is the only state that has parishes instead of counties) and he said that he clocked me going 62 in a 55 mph zone. so guess what??????????? i....got....a....ticket!!!!!!!!!!yyyyaaahhoooo! makes me wonder alot about things, haven't figured them all out, just wondering for now...... later!!

Allan ..If memory serves me well I think locating Florida in the South was established by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon on or about October 9,1767 when they completed the survey of the 233 mile long line establishing what still remains known as the Mason / Dixon line .When I was a tike we referred to anything north of Venice Florida as "UP NORTH" .Where I reside today(Inverness ) was definitely up north .In fact it was just the bus rest stop on our ride to FSU.
