Tailgaters Was: winter weather alert- help those in need

[Tom Nas]

I had some idiot tailgate me while I was on the limit in the righthand lane
today... and he had his headlights adjusted so that one was in my lefthand
mirror and my rearview mirror at the same time. Luckily, Audi had already
thought of dipping 'safety' mirrors in 1977. :-)

I've also reacqainted myself with the habits of old-style fuseboxes with
the ceramic fuses. Taillight out? Just wiggle the fuse in its contacts- hey
presto, tailight works again. My old '80 Jetta had this in a bad way, about
50% of the time the turn signals refused to work until you 'worked' them. I
even rigged the fusebox lid open so I could do this while on the move.
After a couple of months, I could find the offending fuse without looking.
