I'm also seeing a bunch of Mom & Pop PC Hardware stores branching out in to importing the Rigid LED light bar knockoffs from China. There's also this guy's shop which I drive by regularly - Purely based on the website, he either knows how to cater to his clientele and/or is a real winner. http://www.bigmikesbrightlights.com/ (Be sure to check out the neighboring shop he owns as well.)

Looks like you don't even get the cool covers with Hella lights anymore so that makes the decision to go for Chinese knockoff lights alot easier. e: not even looking for spotlights, I just need something to supplement my high beams and add a bit of distance. Right now you can see roughly about as far as the car could emergency stop on gravel going about 70kph. F1DriverQuidenBerg fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Dec 17, 2015 |

Yeah for normal driving a spotlight is better. But they're big and will look funny on a car. The led lights that are a 5" x5" square are also decent.

That's my buddy's car. It starts and runs, but then won't start again until it cools down.

They literally last 100k kms unless you absolutely baby the engine. You might get to 160 then. He had a mint one with a blown engine that he got for like $1500, which he traded for this car.

There was some guy within spitting distance of my place that was selling a tintop Rabbit "rally car" with a recent paint job for not too much more money. The kid who drove it was an idiot ricer, but I think his dad had a good head on his shoulders. If I had to bet, it'll be back up for sale after xmas. There's also a sorta-raunchy $2k '84 GTI in High RIver that is basically the victim of neglect, but he's willing to trailer it. And a $2k Caddy with a $1.5k rustbucket friend in somebody's field...

I came close to looking at the high river GTI but you could see some door rust from the pictures. I've prety much come to the point now where the scirocco is more or less rock solid mechanically aside from a handful of "quirks" and its more advantageous to just wait until somebody gets sick of restoring their rabbit project and wants the shell gone.

Ugh, what a night. I wired up the old rig truck for a 5th wheel hitch and the right trailer turn signal wouldn't light up the tester. So I can hear a relay clicking when the left turn signal is on, but not the right one. All the truck lights work, but not that one trailer light. I isolated the good relay to the fuse panel, but it just keeps clicking, no matter which relays I pull out. It turns out GM put a bunch of low voltage relays inside the fuse panel directly on the board. After wrestling the fuse panel out and get it opened up I find out the whole board is corroded. At least I found the problem quickly, but what a job pulling all the fuses and getting the panel apart. Hopefully I can get a replacement for a good price. I can't imagine fuse panels go very often.

Even the one in mayerthorpe? The one in mayerthorpe still has arcade games. The one in whitecourt used to have pizza made with home made biscuit pizza dough, but that was like 10 years ago so i don't know if they still have it. I used to love their triple italian burger which was like 8000 calories but whatever. now i just get corn fritters every once in a while corn fritters and jam. that's my fuckin jam.

One thing I've never understood about motorcycles is the intense need for meat you get riding one. All it takes is a couple hours riding and I'm suddenly dismounting next to some middle of nowhere convenience store to buy 4 sticks of pepperoni.

Ooh wee I love me some Burger Baron. It's somehow made only better by the fact that nobody really knows who started it and it's an anarchic cult driven by shared symbology and recipes rather than franchising.

One of my good friends is a Lebanese dude who's connected to the Burger Baron bloodline. When we were in college we used to go to Burger Barons so he could say hi to his cousins and we'd crush delicious burgers and sides. Goddamn I love Burger Barons.
