[s-cars] HID lights group buy - $185/set delivered

[Bruce Mendel]

I draw the line there, aggressively as I may drive at times.

I do not EVER want to pull onto the shoulder at speed and hit some poor slob
that broke down or is changing a tire.

Or, I might add, have someone do that to me if I wind up being the poor slob
some day.
