Headlights !! ;o} (archive)

The complete automotive resource for buyers, sellers, and owners like you.

Yall smile and listen to this...My neighbors are so kind and yesterday kept coming up to my penthouse Condo and saying to me..."your headlights are on"...I am thinking, "no" ...I haven't driven the love of my life today but, being the good Cinderella I AM,..I went and checked ..No tail lights are on and I don't see any lights on the front "on" either..It's just a reflection of a bright suuny day in Nashiville...
So, about a hour passes and another neighbor comes up and tells me the same thing...I tell him, "naaa..it's just a reflection"..OK he says.."what-ever"..
All this started about 10 a.m. and at 2:30, I decide I can't stand it any longer, I must go for a drive in my charriot and opt for carry out Chinese food..As I drive up to the place, I see my HEADLIGHS are indeed ON...!!
Dang, what's that all about I say aloud to myself..The knob is in..Not out?? I go inside, order my food, and tell them I will be outside with my car...Trying to figure out a mystery..Nothing is working to shut them off and all I can think about is it is Saturday..The service dept isn't open on the weekend..
I exit the parking lot, with my "headlights on" looking like running lights and pass a Harley dearlership with all sorts of really great bikes out in front and figure..Hell, I need help.."Men Can help a Cinderella in distress" {especially since Rhett lives so far away and can't help Miss Scarlett out} :o} {Hi Mike}
Well, the bikers "surround the car"...They liked it "all" and took my manual trying to figure the problem out for the danzel in distress, with Headlighs..."On"..
The big fellow, in the back, stepped up with his tattoos and dark glasses, looking at his watch and said, "I'd drive it over to that fancy dealership and have someone give you another car for the night or fix it".."Looks like my boys can't help you, although we would like to keep you here..You need to get this worked on today"!!
I drive off waving to the Bikers, all in smiles, and head to the dearlership where the service dept IS OPEN!! A new service they have just started..Thank heavens...
The service man pulls "my only true love" inside and keeps it in the back for a hour..He comes out and tells me he has "never" seen this problem with any of these coupes..It's a fuse and he "doesn't" have a back-up part to replace it with..!!
So, during the Horse Race, I am back "in" the service dept learning how to remove a big-o-plug from under my hood and how to re-install it for lights On/& lights Off...The part will be ordered Monday and sent overnight to the dealership on Tuesday..
Until them..I am raising my hood each night to turn my lights on and then off... I look so cool..Like I know what I am doing!! A lady under the hood...Pretty neat, although somewhat a tiny hassle..
My car is still the "love" I wish came in human form...;o} 15,500 enjoyable miles so far..

So,.... that's my story of "HEADLIGHTS"...!!!

I am in love-with a hunk of steel!!!
And it "feels" great!!!
I can't even imagine how the M feels...
WOW...
