    honestly, I can't answer that. Here in NorCal, at least around the Bay - don't have too many. Certainly none that make the news often.

    I think we see them more in SoCal because they have constant news choppers flying listening to LAPD and reporting traffic congestion. @eon_blue (?)

    Precisely. I know driving fast is fun, however auto manufacturers design their cars way too weak to be going at the speeds they're capable of.

    Seatbelts always matter. trust me on this one.

    Don't take my word for it.. see for yourself.

    true but I think we all know by now that its just plain stupid to not put your seatbelt on when you get in the car/truck. seatbelts save lives.

    (sorry james, not trying to point the finger - you lucked out. next time, might not be so lucky.)

    I missed the point about anyone not wearing a seatbelt where it counted, I thought it was a random comment about the BMW, but harnesses are just to keep you connected to a cage. No harnesses w/ a cage you're f'd and harnesses w/ no cage you're f'd so I think we're in agreement huh :notsure:

    yeah no - I should've been more specific. James was talking about the BMW and when I was reading his comment, I was thinking about his taco crash - don't think he was wearing his belt. anyway, my point i was making was always put the belt on, no matter. yeah and that vid I included was a "whoa! holy hell look at his eyes as he's being thrown around inside that little cockpit even with a harness" thing. Not the best example.

    hell of a lot more blank spots for switches than the taco if i recall. buddy down the street had a picked up a used frontier. I actually was a bit jealous that he could add lights or whatever and have no issues with switches whereas we have to cut up the dash, pull the clock, mangle this or that... only thing he didn't like about it was it was just bland. he only kept it for a few months before moving onto something else. Still, not a bad truck.

    Is it the kind of plasticity with toxicity?

    Congrats man.

    They let you decorate your mortar board hats? Here's what I did when I graduated.

    I bought the LED matrix panel from a Jumbotron manufacturer. They would have hundreds of these put together in series to form a billboard or digital signage. Runs off of 5v from a battery bank in my back pocket. It plays GIF’s loaded to a micro SD card. Software wise, it’s an Arduino based platform called SmartMatrix Shield v4 and a Teensy microcontroller running a custom program written in C#.
