I realize that I'm not one of the best contributors to this list, however,
this is getting ridiculous. How can the subject of missing reflectors cause

I get to deal with conflict mediation all day long at work and enjoy
monitoring our list for concise and important information on our cars as
well as side comments and stories that are funny, and sometimes,
ridiculous.Lately it seems things have been getting down right nasty.
Obligatory roadster content.... ordered new 15" Panasports Yesterday from
