So, I just walked in from the gym. I was on my way home and flicked on my high beam. As soon as I did my headlight went out. The high beam and the low beam. I had to travel home on a cloudy night, no moon no stars, no light. To top it off I had my tinted visor on too. Lol. Freaked me out but I just think the fuse blew for some reason.

That''s messed up. I''d prolly shit my pants.
I don''t know what it''s like by you.. but around here (middle of nowhere, IL) If I don''t have a headlight... There is ZERO light.

Woulda been awsome if the light would have suddenly worked again and then there was a wall of zombies infront of me.

No, I think it''s southern karma, getting you back for causing that drunk driver to crash off the road. If you hadn''t turned your light off and on that time, they would have made it home just fine...

...or was that in Texas, I forget

Hey do you have a memory loss, time distortion thing happening, thats the sort of thing that happens just before you get abducted up by a UFO. Hate to tell you this, but there is a good chance you''ve probably been gang probed as well!

I hear you on zero light, I have lived in the country most my life...and then move into town and I cant sleep b/c there is light, I am use to going to bed and you cant see shit until the sun comes up...in town that just isnt true...hard to get use too

When I was in hospital after a crash there was a kid in the next bed that tried driving with no lights. His lights failed so he just carried on following the car in front. This was in the English countryside and it was DARK! The car went around a corner and the kid ran off the road and hit a big stone "mushroom" (Jules will know what I''m referring to). Both ankles, both shoulderblades, both wrists, etc. busted to hell.
