Light humor and news flash
Every time I drive my 4kq at night, I think about the bazillion threads on
light upgrades and wonder if I'll ever do it. The amazing thing is that when
I first got the 4kq back in '83, it had the brightest lights of any car I'd
ever driven! So just be glad you're not still driving an Audi Fox. (I sure
am!)

Thanks for that info. My wife's car (mini-van) was hit and she is currently
driving my V8. Given that her car seems to have an invisible bulls-eye on it,
I've been worried that I just might get the opportunity to put a V8 into my
4kq and was thinking of asking that very question!
Finally, because my wife is pregnant, when her car was hit, they insisted upon
taking her to the hospital to do an ultrasound to check on the baby. I drove
to the hospital (she was fine) and watched the ultrasound. So cool! Fuzzy
blobs that for a brief instant appeared as a little baby with a head, body,
arms and tiny fingers, and legs moving a mile a minute, like (s)he was riding
an invisible bicycle. Then the fuzzy blob dissappeared an reappeared
elsewhere on the screen, then back and forth from one side to the other, then
both at once. Now I'm slightly confused. "Are there two?", I ask. "So far",
says the radiologist, whose people skills left something to be desired. They
didn't find any more, thank heavens, and my wife and I are having twins.
