Good morning fellow neffers!

"Neffers" rhymes with another word that means cows... :biggrin:

I think the $300 in Chase rewards can be used for $300 as a check, $300 against the statement balance, or $300 as gift cards. Some places have different values for those, but it seems Chase doesn't.

I've found a song on Youtube that I don't remember ever listening to before, yet I know I've heard this song. I figure it's been in a movie or something then, but it doesn't seem to be something Hollywood would use.

Briefly musing over setting up new reverse lights... by means of a bracket attached underneath the rear of the car, mounted to a spring. Spring means the default location is in the up position. Car goes into reverse, set of weather-sealed wires carry power down to the new lights. A powerful solenoid, or more likely, a small motor, rotate the bracket down, and the lights ignite. The end result would have them underneath the rear bumper, pointed slightly outwards to the sides, with far more light and better control of it as well. Take it out of reverse, and the lights go out, spring retracts the assembly.

So pull the plastic facing off the trunk, turn it inside-out, and try to buff the inner ridges smooth, then load it with LED lights. Triple the lumens at minimum, but still with the same shitty distribution, and hope that will be enough.

Actually, better yet, USB input. Something going through the satellite feed. But I don't have a clue how to implement this.

For tint, the OEM spec is around 78%. MA legal maximum is 35%. I'm going for that, which means 45%. But not all OEM glass is 78, there's some variation, and if it is 77%, then 45% becomes too much, by a tiny margin.
