[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 469710, member: 412"] 1. New Headlamp assemblies w/LED's are about $250 a set. 60-90min to swap out the whole deal. Get rid of those old yellowed things that the sun couldn't shine through. 2. I am looking forward to that section of road being fixed, hopefully soon. But, I still run it @ 80. I've got good shocks and good tires, just let them do their job. 3. I'll take the driver of a shitbox over someone with 0.0% situational awareness. If the road is dry, set your cruise. Use your mirror now and then. Take the earbuds out/headphones off (that's actually illegal, or used to be, haven't looked in a while), and for goodness sake, set the daggum phone down. 3a. If your car has bluetooth, you have no business talking on your device-housed speakerphone, hook that bitch up and set the phone down. 3b. You have 0.0% business being on a "FaceTime" call while in the car while under power. If you wanna video call, pull the F over. 3c. Pair that phone w/your car and use the map on the big screen in the dash[SIZE=7]. If you can't read letters this size (26pt type) sans readers, use that MF'n 10"+ screen in the dash when you need a map. Why are you torturing yourself and pissing off the rest of the universe looking at a device @ highway speed when you can't read the F'n thing sitting in a restaurant booth?[/SIZE] 4. The least courteous Semis on the road in ND, SD, MT? They're all hauling crops or livestock and have in-state plates. I"d hazard a guess the majority of the people @ the wheel of them couldn't tell you what the letters: "CDL" Stand for. Non-Cruise user from earlier this eve. White 3/4 or 1Tn Crew-Cab long-box pickup, apparently had some sort of birthright to the left lane. Try to pass on the right and he'd speed up to pace you and jam you up behind the next vehicle in the right lane and of course, then slow down as he passed them and become a rolling road-block again. Both times I had to deal with it, he had 12-15 vehicles backed up behind him for 1/2Mi or so. Luckily, pickups that haven't been worked over are still governed around 95ish and most smaller vehicles can go faster. I set my cruise again, about 5Mi later he passed me again going 90+ and at one point he was almost 2Mi out front. About 30Mi later, I had to pass him again as he'd diddled about pacing slower drivers in the right lane again. He used an off-ramp shortly after. Had he played the game again, I'd been tempted to take note of the Company name on the door and the plate number and made a call in the AM. [/QUOTE]
