Oh I have no issue with regular pickups. I've never driven anything else. However, I HATE HID headlights and I would be thrilled they became extinct. I also hate it when people think that 4WD + Blizzaks = Magic. It's still winter, people. Come on.

Hey, that's twice in one day I've agreed with you. Better mark this in my calendar.

I think its a great idea because a large volume of the lower (E1-E4) and alot of mid ranks (E5-E6 and O1-O3) are the most obnoxious people I have ever met. The E7 and up and O4 and up are nice to be around.

Good grief ... sounds like you're an old sucker and in it for the $$$$$$$$

NO - you better get medical attention pronto!

I don't even know what that means lol. BTW I was in the military and E-1 to E-5 were horrid to be around for the most part, there were obviously exceptions. E-6 was a mixed bag. Warrant officers were great. O1 to O-2 maybe O-3 were sometimes right there with the E-5s in terms of not pleasant to be around nor did I feel they had a special competence to justify their attitudes.


You could actually have an intelligent conversation with E-7s and O-4s and up, the lower you went the greater the a** hattery. Screaming for no reason, because "your in the army now boy", really last time I checked I don't need to scream to pull a trigger and end your life or beat you down. No screaming required. Also if your getting shot at you should not be screaming and yelling you should be getting your head down and returning fire.

I hear the talk about candlepower restrictions and headlight alignment coming for all vehicles. I don't think it will make all HIDs illegal, just ones that are not installed correctly. And HID is so last year, the latest and 100x brighter laser headlights are the new thing. They make HIDs look like my 3W nightlight.

I have no intention of being the test case and I don't even have anything aftermarket on my vehicles either. Not even a replacement brighter incandescent bulb. However, if I lived in the more rural areas or had to go through them, I would have aftermarket lights on a switch so that once I left the roadways I could see. I don't have a problem with aftermarket lighting as long as it isn't used so it blinds me and everyone else. There is a time and place for them and as an example the Glenn highway during rush hour isn't it.

The university has 20-somethings there, too, and some single staff and professors in the 30+ ranges. There are cool singles in the city, you just need to know where to find 'em.

I wonder what gym this was...
