What Once Was...Is No More

Somehow I knew this would happen. I think the pictures show the obvious. If I remember, there were some differing opinions about the LEX-C lights. They may not have been the best, but sure were neat to see. I'm not sure when the lights were replaced since there was a span of a few months between vis...

Re: Speed Limits

Speed limit? What's that? Apparently nobody around here seems to know what the speed limit is (or just don't care). They're either going too fast or too slow.
