You say that as if saving $10 on a bulb once every few years is worth the risk of spending $100s or apparently even $1000s if they get damaged.

There are reasons cars have been getting ever more unaffordable (above and beyond inflation), and stuff like bespoke model-specific headlights requiring complicated tooling to manufacture is one of them.

Garak is right there.

My Miata with pop-up sealed beams gets ~30 MPG. Any aerodynamic problems it has are due to being a convertible, not the headlights.

Uniforms do not work that way!

Quark himself, on the other hand, ought to be wearing the most garish rainbow Ferengi suit imaginable.

Meanwhile, only 30 years ago when we had sealed-beams in standardized shapes, you could replace a headlight for like $10. And the lens was actually glass instead of plastic prone to yellowing and abrasion.

Only probably a decade or so later than it would've happened if Jimmy Carter's panels hadn't been removed from the White House.

I really hope somebody [outside the government] made records of all those signs and their contents so that they can be put back when the fascists are overthrown.

On one hand, the jack looks too far outboard for that, but on the other hand we don't see the top of it so it could plausibly be behind the tire.

I think it's just not drawn all that well.

No, it's time for people to finally get their asses in gear and fucking ditch Chromium-based browsers for Firefox-based ones.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
