[Healeys] 3-rd brake light

[Don]

You would think that after 24 years they would at least have some data that
supports their use if they actually made a difference.  IMHO they are the
ugliest thing I could stick on a Healey and I won't be adding one to my
100-6 in my lifetime but to each his own.

Credit anti-government, anti-regulation crusader Ronald W. Reagan for
that particular big-government regulation:
