Subject: DML: Tail lamps?
Well, as if my week couldn't get any worse. Saturday, got a ticket for my
V-TECH ram's head taillight covers, the officer said that those are illegal.
Well, I don't want to rip those off, because they're on there really good
and I don't want to hurt the paint, so does anybody around here have a spare
set of tail lamps lying around for a 97+ Dakota? I'd pay shipping if you're
far away, and give ya a few bucks to borrow them if you don't mind. I'm just
going to take my existing taillamps off, but the borrowed ones on, get the
ticket taken care of (just signed off by the local PD), and then put the
other ones with the covers on.
I know I know, I've been puled over on 4 other times for misc. stuff (The
downside of driving a real flashy truck in Southern California!), and I've
never had ANYTHING said about them!
Oh, and Monday I walk out from school, and SOMEBODY decides to back into my
passenger side bed by the flare, put a big ol' dent the size of a basketball
in the bed. Called the dent removal guys, and the got it out for the most
part, under the flare the paint is all cracked and it's still dented, but he
said he couldn't do much about that. New flare goes on today or tomorrow,
and I'll make sure that area under there with the damaged paint is primed up
real good so there's no rust in my future.
Wow, what a week. I know, for most of you it might not be much, but for me
it just sucked.
