Ya'll know those new fangled "brighter" headlights...

My father in law and I got together and got my lady a better Van than the old Dodge she's been driving. Shaggy has 220,000 miles and is telling us the he's getting to that point in a vehicles life that it should be given a nice funeral.
So as Dad said he would pay for a replacement if I would find one I set out to find one.
What I found was a one owner 1990 Chevrolet G/20 "Heavy Half Ton" custom van with all the bells and whistles, new small block, new 4 speed automatic, completely rebuilt rear end, brakes, AC,new belts,hoses,radiator, nice chrome wheels, nice tires,run on synthetic oil its entire life, one of those once inna lifetime finds...drove 300 miles to look at it and bought it within ten minutes of first laying eyes on it. Really nice truck!
So tonight we go out for dinner and it gets dark while we are eating, we go out to head home and I pop on the lights...

HOLY CRAP,I HAD NO IDEA!

I swear this thing lights up a 1/2 mile of road on low beam...we drive through town trying not to reduce people's retinas to rubble, cut down the back Streets cuz I think that the headlights are not lined up right,stop to check, yup they are correctly aligned, hit the two laner that heads outta town hit the Hi-Beams and I swear you could land a 747 with these things!!
Now I understand why folk like these,to quote Darrell Waltrip..."I Never have Seen Anything Like This In My Life"

Nerd Alert!! Who you gonna call?

This looks really Good!

I would like to Thank the Bastard who tried to steal my lady's Van!

As I sit in front of the local police department waiting for then to get a release form together I want to Thank you, you prick.
The van broke down at the drug store last night (the transmission linkage fell apart) so I went and picked up the lady,told Walgreens that we would be back in the morning to get it, when we had got there it was gone! Called the local P.D. and the told me that they found it in the Middle of one of the busiest intersections in town abandoned, and towed it off.

So you,you fuckin thieving Bastard I have a question for you...
1...how did you start it,it wouldn't start as the transmission was in "Drive " hence the transmission interlock would not allow it to start.
2...how did you get it into any gear? The linkage was in a bunch of pieces that were all over the ground.

This thieving prick jus cost me a crapload of money we don't have.

The Stupid is so strong it burns!!

Every now and again I go to "freeperland" to see what the Trumphumpers are up to, I couldn't sleep tonite so I put on my bio suit and took a stroll to the toxic mindset land.

There is a long thread about Trump canning Nancy Pelosi's trip and allowing Ms Trump to use a air force
jet to go to Florida for "The Holiday Weekend" so I started reading this thread and then I found this gem...

Eek. How awful. Melania is second in line for the Presidency and is vitally needed in the negotiations to reopen the government.

I don't know about ya'll, all I can say is
