And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Very fancy, but I'm not interested. When that unit malfunctions, what does it cost to repair or replace it? A few years ago, the headlights on my 2003 Ford Ranger were looking pretty tired so I ordered replacements on eBay. The price for both right and left headlight/turn signal assemblies, complete with bulbs and including shipping, was $55. And it took 5 minutes to install them using nothing but a screwdriver to pop up the retaining clip. That's more my style, as opposed to going to the dealer and paying hundreds, or maybe a thousand dollars to fix something fancy.
My work colleague had all singing dancing LED headlights on his BMW, self dip turn with the car you name it they did it. He reckoned they were £3000 a side, thats not $ but £.
When a bulb blows is maybe £10 max for an uprated bulb, they can stick £3000 lights where the sun don't shine. Don't need an electric park brake or automatic braking either, just more crap to go wrong.
Hypnotized me

Definitely costly if it just a fender bender
DeleteWhat do you mean i can only get a turbocharged 4 cylinder, the six is not available? "Hold on now, check out these cool headlights"!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed that a lot of newer cars have sinister looking forward light configurations.
