This reminds me of an amusing anecdote. Marty Sullivan, a jag-lover I met on this list who lives near me and owns an H&E convertible, was over here one day with his car. He had been lamenting the lack of driving lights on his car -- there were none whatsoever; since the XJ-S always came with them, we presumed somebody had had them removed. Later, we were looking at other things like the front spoiler, and I was laying on the floor looking up at the lower grille, and I saw his driving lights. They had been hit so hard that they had folded completely up into the bottom of the front bumper, totally invisible from anywhere but below. You couldn't have gotten those assemblies any flatter if you had laid them on the freeway for a week! They looked like they were painted onto the bottom of his bumper! I hate to think about the PO's driving style; I doubt they could have been so effectively crushed all at once, he probably hit a LOT of things with them! -- Kirbert | If anything is to be accomplished, | some rules must be broken. | - Palm's Postulate References:
