Message	I was transferring from VA to FL and my tail lights went out in my Dodge Dakota. I had one of those silly red tube lights that can either be steady or beat with the music. I had to get the truck down to FL and it was a last minute screw up so I left just after the sun came up. I had to use the stupid light every time I wanted to brake. Pretty dangerous but it worked in a pinch. Here's to never doing that one again! ----------------------------------------------------- Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!!
