    The idiots on the road, my short story

    I was headed to the cape this past week for little vaca with the wife. I made the trek via the pike and 495 and volume was heavy, not a problem usually.

    Did a little mod to the daily

    Picked up some blacked out OEM headlights for my explorer. I guy in my area has one of those sport trac adrenalins and they have the black headlights.

    Front end protection

    I had the 3M paint protection film put on my Lincoln to protect the front end & headlights. Great product and you can't really see it at all. The guy at the shop took a small sample off the cutter and had me try and put my key through it. The key wouldn't puncture the material but it streched...
