That reminds me of the time I parked my car on the ground/first floor but started looking on the second. After searching every floor in the garage I was resigned to the fact my car was stolen. Then I found it. My heart really slowed down at that point.

That reminds of the time I stole someone's car.

I've thought my car was stolen a few times too.

I have dreams about that scenario once a year. It sucks!

When I had a silver RAV-4 I sometimes had the opposite problem.
Folks... tend not to lock their cars up here. I got into the wrong RAV-4 a couple of times.
I realized my mistake because -- well -- other folks' RAV-4s seem to have less junk in the little nooks and crannies in the console than mine.

Right? Like looking in the back seat and realizing "those aren't my kids??!!".

I don’t get the KY Jelly bit. I am from KY and we grew up eating that on biscuits and cornbread, were we wrong?

The internet videos of this project made it out to be a pretty easy job.

NOT.

Not for me anyway. I am getting there though.

I'm glad I did this in the wintertime.

After;

It was a B#@ch taking it apart due to age and the design of mounting bolts attached to the long orange light housing. Removing those 4 nuts (2 on each one) are almost inaccessible. If my hands and arms were any bigger...I'd have had to take it to somebody else. Look up replacing 1995 ford F150 headlight videos and you'll see what I'm talking about. I have nicks and abrasions on both hands and arms due to that design.

Putting it back together was a breeze. I didn't have to fight that design since I was working with new (and lubricated threads) bolts on those orange light housings. Also, all the mods were done last night on the mating of the orange housing and the chrome trim frame.

All in all, it was worth 120.00 for the front end and 40.00 for the taillights. The orange housing is CHEAPLY made. But after the first splitting of the first post, I drilled out the rest to minimize any more splitting. Also, the posts didn't align with opening in the mounting frame. I drilled sideways on the frame at each of the 3 openings also to allow alignment for the said screws. Took just a few minutes but still...

As jaundiced as my view of "technology" can be -- this struck me as both cool to see boiled down into a graph, and impressive in terms of the real improvement in automobile performance in the past several decades. The average selling price probably ought've been trended with these parameters, too.
